For non horror lovers, summer movie season tentpoles “Disclosure Day” and “Minions and Monsters” are both arriving on Peacock this October. Neither movie set the box office on fire, but streaming should prove a popular destination to watch the latest Steven Spielberg alien blockbuster and the latest entry in the uber-popular “Despicable Me” franchise. A24’s “The Invite” was a huge success in theaters, meanwhile, and should keep the Oscar buzz when it debuts on HBO Max this month.
Check out a full rundown below of the biggest movies hitting streaming this month.

Steven Spielberg’s “Disclosure Day” arrives on Peacock after a $241 million run in theaters worldwide over the summer. Heavily touted as the Oscar-winning legend’s return to alien-centric science fiction (he is the master who gave us “E.T.” and “Close Encounters of the Third Kind,” after all), the chase thriller casts Josh O’Connor and Emily Blunt as a cybersecurity analyst and meteorologist who set out on a mission to disclose the existence of alien life to the world. Colin Firth, Eve Hewson and Colman Domingo co-star.
The Death of Robin Hood (Oct. 16 on HBO Max)

“The Death of Robin Hood,” from “Pig” and “A Quiet Place: Day One” director Michael Sarnoski, casts Hugh Jackman as an aged and battle-weary version of the title character, who now lives in self-imposed exile and is tormented by his past. Robin Hood gets a shot at redemption after befriending an orphaned girl. Jodie Comer, Bill Skarsgård, Murray Bartlett and Noah Jupe also star in the A24 release.
