Four popular movies – including the Keanu Reeves action film Speed – are leaving HBO Max soon, so subscribers have a limited time to watch them. The films departing are Speed, Midsommar, Misery, and Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. Two of these were big hits in the 1990s, while the other two have gained a lot of attention more recently.
Speed, Midsommar and more are leaving HBO Max
Starting February 1, 2026, viewers will no longer be able to stream Speed, Midsommar, Misery, and the new Planet of the Apes movie on HBO Max.
So, a few movies are leaving HBO Max, but good news for fans of the ‘Planet of the Apes’ – ‘Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes’ has found a new home on Hulu! I was a little worried about where I’d be able to watch it, but it’ll be streaming there starting February 2, 2026. That’s great news because it means even more people will get to see this epic sci-fi adventure.
As a huge action movie fan, I always remember Speed as a total thrill ride. It was Jan de Bont’s first time directing a feature film, and he really delivered! The story centers around Keanu Reeves as Jack Traven, a cop who has to stop a bomber, played by Dennis Hopper, from blowing up a bus. Here’s the catch: the bus can’t slow down below 50 mph, or it explodes! Sandra Bullock is also fantastic in it, playing a passenger who ends up working with Traven to try and save everyone on board. It’s a classic for a reason!
Ari Aster wrote and directed the film Midsommar, featuring Florence Pugh and Jack Reynor. The story centers on an American couple who travel to Sweden with friends to experience a traditional midsummer festival. Things take a dark turn when they become caught up in a disturbing and violent competition orchestrated by a local pagan group.
Okay, let me tell you about “Misery.” This movie, directed by the fantastic Rob Reiner and adapted from William Goldman’s script, really gets under your skin. It centers around Paul Sheldon, a hugely successful novelist, whose life takes a terrifying turn after a car accident. He’s saved by Annie Wilkes, who seems like a devoted fan at first. But that quickly changes. She nurses him back to health, yes, but then holds him hostage, demanding he rewrite his latest book to bring back a character she loves. It’s a truly gripping and unsettling thriller.
Wes Ball directed ‘Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes,’ based on a script by Josh Friedman. The film takes place many years after the events of ‘War for the Planet of the Apes’ and follows Noa, a young chimpanzee, as he embarks on a journey with a human woman named Mae. Together, they travel to discover what the future holds for both apes and humans, facing challenges that highlight the complicated connection between the two species.
