Everything Coming to Netflix This Week (October 23rd)

The final week or so of October is going to be a surprisingly solid period of time for movies on Netflix. On Sunday, October 22nd, Netflix added the new Jennifer Lawrence comedy No Hard Feelings to its lineup. On Halloween, the acclaimed box office hit Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse will be making its way to the service. Between those two major Sony additions, Netflix has an entire week of titles on the way, including a hit animated film and a star-studded original film.

Beginning on Monday, October 23rd, Netflix has seven consecutive days of new releases, movies and/or TV shows being added to the lineup each day. Tuesday will see a couple of big titles hit the service, including the first Minions movie, as well as the new Pete Holmes standup comedy special.

The biggest new addition of the week, however, doesn’t arrive until Friday, October 27th. That day will see Pain Hustlers make its way to Netflix. Pain Hustlers is an original film from Harry Potter director David Yates, starring Emily Blunt, Chris Evans, and Andy Garcia. The film follows a single mom who gets caught up with a shady pharmaceutical rep and ends up a part of a major racketeering scheme.
