Netflix rules the couch this weekend, with Animals leading the local film chart and Below topping the series list. Prime Video is in the mix too, with Phony and Carrie both sitting at number three.
No new films open in cinemas this weekend, so catch Charlie Harper, Digger, Drishyam – The Conclusion, Forgotten Island, Heart of the Beast or Insidious: Out of the Further.
