It's July, and that means NBCUniversal's Peacock is almost ready to join the world of big streamers.
Comcast subscribers have had access to Peacock dating back to April 15, but the streamer goes live to all U.S. customers on July 15. Among the attractions of Peacock are NBC series such as Law & Order: SVU, America's Got Talent, Saturday Night Live, and the network's talk shows with hosts including Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers.
Peacock Originals, the service's name for its original programming, are another draw for the streamer.
But today, E! published a list that spotlights some of the best movies that will feature on Peacock on its launch date, which is now less than two weeks away. The new streaming service promises to feature hundreds of films once it is fully operational, but let's take a look at the highlights and all the films that we know will be available on Peacock this month.
