This weekend's roundup includes everything from. The new Netflix film 10 Days of a Bad Man to the debut of the Netflix Family title The Monkey King.

Netflix offers three subscription plans – the basic with ads plan ($7 per month), the standard plan ($15.50 per month), and the premium plan ($20 per month).
