‘Eddington’ and Every Other Movie Coming To HBO Max This Week
A fresh mix of documentaries, genre blockbusters, and new releases is landing across the week of Monday, November 10 to Sunday, November 16, bringing a concert time-capsule from John & Yoko, Ari Aster’s pandemic-era western thriller, and a new entry in the ‘Planet of the Apes’ saga—plus a holiday-themed special to kick things off.
‘Hoarding for the Holidays’ (2025)
Arrives Wednesday, November 12. This TV special peeks inside the elaborate traditions of extreme holiday decorators and festive collectors, following families and couples as they manage overflowing décor, storage challenges, and the logistics of ambitious displays. Episodes spotlight hunts for rare seasonal items—like vintage blow-mold figures—and capture the planning that goes into multi-holiday celebrations. The project is presented in a reality-series format, focusing on participants rather than actors, with storylines built around their collections and community events. It debuted in November 2025 as a seasonal unscripted entry.
‘Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes’ (2024)
Arrives Thursday, November 13. Set generations after Caesar’s era, the story follows Noa, a young chimpanzee hunter, and Mae, a human survivor, as they cross a fractured world of rival ape clans led by the warlord Proximus Caesar. Wes Ball directs, with a screenplay by Josh Friedman; the cast includes Owen Teague as Noa, Freya Allan as Mae, and Kevin Durand as Proximus, alongside Peter Macon and William H. Macy. Production took place in Sydney, with Gyula Pados as cinematographer and John Paesano composing the score. The film continues the reboot continuity as a standalone sequel to ‘War for the Planet of the Apes’.
‘One to One: John & Yoko’ (2025)
Arrives Friday, November 14. Directed by Kevin Macdonald, this documentary chronicles John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s early-1970s New York period, culminating in the 1972 One to One concerts at Madison Square Garden with the Plastic Ono Elephant’s Memory Band. The film assembles restored concert footage, home movies, archival audio, and period television clips, with producing oversight from Sean Ono Lennon. It highlights their creative partnership and activism during the era, providing context around the setlists and staging of Lennon’s only full-length post-Beatles concert. The feature premiered in IMAX in April 2025 before wider rollouts later that year.
‘Eddington’ (2025)
Arrives Friday, November 14. Written and directed by Ari Aster, this neo-western thriller is set in New Mexico during May 2020 and centers on a confrontation between Sheriff Joe Cross and incumbent Mayor Ted Garcia as a local election exacerbates community tensions. Joaquin Phoenix stars as Cross, with Pedro Pascal as Garcia; the ensemble features Emma Stone, Luke Grimes, Micheal Ward, Austin Butler, and Deirdre O’Connell. Darius Khondji handled cinematography, with editing by Lucian Johnston and a score by Bobby Krlic and Daniel Pemberton; A24 produced and distributed the film following its Cannes premiere in May 2025. The narrative uses a small-town standoff to explore rumor, paranoia, and civic breakdown during the pandemic period.
