This week's roster spans a Russian import without an English-language home yet, a new streaming series and a horror release aiming for A24 records, rather than a single dominant release.
Your Heart Will Be Broken, a Russian romance adapting Anna Jane's bully-to-boyfriend novel, has had a strong domestic theatrical run since its March release but has no confirmed English-language distribution yet, making it one to track rather than queue up this week for most PLOT readers.
Spider-Noir, Sony's live-action series starring Nicolas Cage as a down-on-his-luck 1930s New York private investigator with a masked-hero past, debuts on MGM+ on May 25 and on Prime Video from May 27, giving genre audiences a fresh noir-superhero hybrid to start this week. Backrooms, A24's adaptation of Kane Parsons' viral liminal-space horror shorts starring Chiwetel Ejiofor, opens in theaters on Friday, May 29.
The practical split: cinema gets its one new event on Friday with Backrooms; streaming has Spider-Noir, on MGM+ first and then Prime Video two days later; and Your Heart Will Be Broken stays out of reach for US, UK and Australian viewers for now.
For a week built on variety over a single event: Spider-Noir is the freshest starting point for genre viewers, Backrooms is the theatrical horror bet for the weekend, and Your Heart Will Be Broken is one for readers of Anna Jane's novel to watch for once (or if) it reaches English-language platforms.
