2025 Sequel to 30-Year-Old Comedy You Didn’t Even Realize Existed Is an Instant Streaming Success

Despite having a very limited release in theaters, the new movie The Family McMullen is now a huge hit on streaming services. It played in theaters for only one day in October 2025, so most people didn’t even know it existed. But after becoming available on HBO Max this week, it quickly jumped to the number two spot on the platform’s Top 10 list in the US. It’s currently second only to Elf, which is a great achievement considering how popular that Will Ferrell holiday classic is every December.
