Weapons was the most popular movie streaming in the Czech Republic during its debut on HBO Max this past week, according to streaming aggregator JustWatch. Director Zach Cregger‘s horror film was also a hit in local cinemas for two months following its release in August; the filmmaker is currently in Prague in production on Resident Evil.
Last week’s champ Our Fault fell to second. The Prime Video romance is the third and final adaptation in Mercedes Ron’s Culpables series, following 2023’s My Fault and last year’s Your Fault, which were also streaming hits for Amazon.
Rising to third after debuting last week in fourth for SkyShowtime was Novocaine, starring Jack Quaid and Amber Midthunder. The action-packed romantic thriller about a man who can’t feel pain released in cinemas earlier this year to modest success.
A pair of classics also rose into the top 10 over the past week: 1992’s Scent of a Woman, which earned Al Pacino a well-deserved Oscar for his performance as a blind veteran, and 2016’s stock market crash exposé The Big Short, which has renewed relevance among fears of an AI bubble on the verge of bursting.
A House of Dynamite came in fifth in its streaming debut for Netflix, leading a light lineup of new releases this weekend. Kathryn Bigelow‘s riveting thriller about a potential nuclear attack on the United States has received widespread acclaim, though its ambiguous ending may not satisfy all viewers.
A trio of new non-English-language releases from Netflix also charted among the top 10 this week: the Indian Gujarati-language supernatural horror movie Vash Level 2, the Indian Telugu-language period action crime film They Call Him OG, and the Indonesian zombie film The Elixir.

Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy topped charts among TV series in Czechia in a dominant showing from SkyShowtime over the past week. After debuting in seventh last week, the true crime series, which has drawn praise for its accuracy compared to Netflix’s similarly-themed Monsters series, surged up to number one this week.
A pair of older series on SkyShowtime took the second and third positions over the past week as the streamer dominated the charts: the Syfy fantasy series The Magicians, which ran for five seasons from 2015-2020, came in second, while the CBS supernatural drama Evil, which ran for four seasons from 2019-2024, ranked third.
The HBO Max original Task, starring Mark Ruffalo as an FBI agent leading a task force on the trail of a criminal, came in fourth. The series, which wrapped two weeks ago, has consistently been one of the most popular shows in the Czech Republic during its run this fall.
A pair of high-profile releases landed in the back half of the top 10 for Netflix: the second season of Nobody Wants This, a religion-themed romantic comedy starring Adam Brody and Kristen Bell, came in seventh, while The Monster of Florence, a true crime series about the notorious killer who terrorized Italy from the 1960s through the 1980s, came in eighth.
