Have the tissues on standbyPublished Oct 5, 2026•3:15pmQuantrell Colbert/Perry Well Films 2/NetflixWhen it comes to new movies on Netflix, there always seems to be a new title taking over the conversation. The year kicked off with the action-packed Matt Damon and Ben Affleck movie The Rip, followed by the polarizing Kevin Hart-led comedy 72 Hours. Now, the streamer’s number one movie is hitting viewers right in the feels and leaving plenty of them an emotional wreck. The film? Tyler Perry’s Doing Life. Doing Life is a dramatic story about survival, redemption and the power of second chances. The movie follows Anika (Naomi Baker), a former corrections officer and struggling single mom who is dealing with serious financial challenges while raising her baby and working toward a nursing degree. Her life takes an unexpected turn after she crosses paths with Carousel (Jay Reeves), an inmate who protects her during a violent prison riot. Quantrell Colbert/Perry Well Films 2/NetflixAfter serving a 10-year sentence for attempted murder, Carousel is released on parole and tracks down Anika in hopes of starting over.

Marvel Studios’ release of Avengers: Endgame: Encore was a shrewd gambit for a few reasons: It put the studio’s most successful film back in conversation right after the juggernaut success of Spider-Man: Brand New Day; it tided die-hards over with new footage ahead of December’s Avengers: Doomsday; and, perhaps most importantly, it raked in an additional $138 million for the film, reinstating its position as the worldwide box office champion over James Cameron’s Avatar. Cameron, who certainly doesn’t spend his precious time fretting about such matters as lifetime financial grosses and being the best in the world at stuff, recently expressed his congratulations to Marvel for once again overtaking his 2009 sci-fi film. “You are one of the people,” the director wrote (per The Wrap) in a composite image from Avatar, with Iron Man at the center of a welcoming Na’vi tribe. “Congratulations to Marvel and the #1 Avengers: Endgame: Encore for bringing moviegoers to the cinemas! – Jim Cameron.”
