Feeling patriotic? Well, we have a special live event lined up for you (hint: Katy Perry sings about it in her 2010 hit!).

And there's more! Here's a list of the eight best new movies, shows and live events to watch this weekend and where to stream them.

Jurassic World Rebirth

The eighth — yes, the EIGHTH — Jurassic Park movie is here, and this time it has two familiar (and beloved) faces at the helm: Scarlett Johansson and Jonathan Bailey.

In the classic tale as old as time (a.k.a. 1993), the two play researchers who set out on a mission to extract DNA from the genetically engineered dinosaurs in Jurassic Park. There, they are met with unprecedented threats (you would think they'd be precedented by now) from dinosaurs who are roaming free.

Jurassic World Rebirth released in theaters on July 2.

The Old Guard 2

Charlize Theron is back (as a brunette!) in The Old Guard 2, the follow-up to 2020's original movie about a group of immortal superheroes fighting to save the world.

This time, the original immortal, played by Uma Thurman, is out for blood after Theron's Andy grapples with her newfound mortality. And she is not a happy camper!

Watch The Old Guard 2 on Netflix.

Heads of State

Independence Day may be all about celebrating America's freedom from British rule, but in Heads of State, the leaders of both countries are allies once again as they are forced to work together after a mutual enemy comes after them.

With John Cena and Idris Elba leading the movie as the U.S. president and U.K. prime minister (we'll let you take a wild guess as to who is who!), Heads of State promises a wild ride, complete with a bada-- Priyanka Chopra as an M16 agent and an aloof Jack Quaid as a CIA agent.

Watch Heads of State on Prime Video.

Trainwreck: The Cult of American Apparel

Well, apparently Brandy Melville isn't the only American women's clothing store started by allegedly problematic men.

Trainwreck: The Cult of American Apparel details the scandal around the brand's founder and former CEO, Dov Charney, who was accused of sexual assault by at least five ex-employees, which he denies. The documentary looks into the allegations, as well as the chaos that led to his downfall.

Sinners

Yes, Sinners has already been on this list when it first released in April, and yes, I'm allowed to put it again because it was that good. And also because it's available on streaming starting July 4.

Starring Michael B. Jordan as identical twin brothers (which means PEOPLE's 2020 Sexiest Man Alive times TWO), Smoke and Stack, Sinners details their journey to start a blues club until their opening night is disrupted by unwelcome guests ... who are also vampires.

Watch Sinners on Max starting July 4.

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives reunion special

The stars of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives season 2 reunited for a tell-all special on July 1 which brought a number of startling revelations to the forefront — and forced the ladies to confront the questions that have been on everyone's minds.

Watch The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives reunion special on Hulu.

Dear Ms.: A Revolution in Print

Who said women's magazines can't change history? Certainly not the leaders of Ms. magazine, who are at the center of Max's latest documentary, Dear Ms.: A Revolution in Print.

Filmmakers spoke to three directors of the magazine about their choices to center women's voices in topics scarcely talked about when the publication first started printing in the 1970s, such as sex and women's rights.
