Directed by Old Henry filmmaker Potsy Ponciroli, this payback story proves the road to justice is best traveled with the pedal down and a shotgun riding passenger.

🎥 Her Private Hell
(Fri, July 24th — wide release)

Sophie Thatcher enters Nicolas Winding Refn’s futuristic metropolis as Elle, a troubled young woman searching for her missing father while a mysterious mist carries something deadly through the streets.

🎥 Pinocchio Unstrung
(Fri, July 24th — wide release)

A wooden puppet develops a deadly sense of right and wrong in this dark slasher reimagining of the classic fairy tale. Geppetto (Richard Brake) introduces his grandson James (Cameron Bell) to his hand-carved magical puppet, but stories about good and evil leave the creation with a dangerously warped moral code. Soon, anyone it judges “bad” becomes a target. With horror icon Robert Englund voicing the Cricket, this public-domain horror fantasy trades childhood wonder for a much bloodier brand of justice.

🎥 Sheep in the Box
(Fri, July 24th — limited release)

A humanoid robot identical to their dead son enters the home of two grieving parents in Hirokazu Kore-eda’s near-future family drama. Haruka Ayase, Daigo Yamamoto, and Kuwaki Rimu star in a science-fiction premise built around an intensely human ache: whether recreating someone’s appearance can restore the bond that disappeared with them—or only make the absence harder to escape.

🎥 Hadestown: The Musical
(Fri, July 24th — limited release)

The road to Hell reaches the big screen with the original principal Broadway cast reunited in this live West End capture. Reeve Carney, Eva Noblezada, André De Shields, Amber Gray, and Patrick Page perform Anaïs Mitchell’s folk-and-jazz reimagining of Orpheus and Eurydice, where love enters an industrial underworld ruled by Hades and Persephone... and hope becomes the most dangerous song anyone can sing.

🎥 A Sad and Beautiful World
(Fri, July 24th — limited release)

Nino and Yasmina keep finding their way back to each other, even as the Lebanon around them continues to change. Written and directed by Cyril Aris, this romantic comedy-drama carries the childhood sweethearts through decades of love, heartbreak, family, and identity, tying the fate of their relationship to an equally difficult question: whether home is somewhere you preserve or somewhere you leave behind.

🎥 The Piano: 4K Remastered
(Fri, July 24th — limited release; re-release)

Jane Campion’s Oscar-winning 1993 drama returns to theaters in this new 4K restoration. Holly Hunter, in an Oscar-winning role, stars as Ada, a mute woman who arrives in 19th-century New Zealand with her young daughter (Anna Paquin, also in an Oscar-winning performance) for an arranged marriage to a settler (the late, great Sam Neill), only to have her beloved piano abandoned on the beach. When a neighboring settler (Harvey Keitel) offers a dangerous bargain involving the instrument, the arrangement pulls them into a complicated bond shaped by power, longing, and obsession.

🎥 Manhunter: The Final Cut
(Fri, July 24th — limited release; re-release)

Michael Mann’s definitive director’s cut returns for its 40th anniversary in a new 4K restoration supervised by the filmmaker. William Petersen’s retired profiler reenters the mind of a murderer to hunt Tom Noonan’s family-killing Tooth Fairy, forcing him into another confrontation with Brian Cox’s imprisoned Hannibal “Lecktor.” The first screen adaptation of Thomas Harris’s Hannibal Lecter novels remains a chilling case of understanding the monster a little too well.

🎥 The Fifth Element
(Sun, July 26th and Mon, July 27th — limited release; re-release)

Luc Besson’s 1997 science-fiction adventure returns with an exclusive introduction by Leonard Maltin. Bruce Willis, Milla Jovovich, and Gary Oldman collide over four elemental stones, one approaching cosmic evil, and a mysterious woman who may be the universe’s missing piece. Nearly three decades later, its future still runs on flying taxis, impossible fashion, and love as the ultimate weapon.

🎥 The Odyssey
(Fri, July 17th — wide release)

Oscar-winning filmmaker Christopher Nolan turns Homer’s ancient Greek epic into a massive IMAX-scaled adventure about war, monsters, gods, and one exhausted man trying to get home. Matt Damon stars as Odysseus, whose return from Troy becomes a brutal trial of survival and devotion, while Anne Hathaway’s Penelope holds Ithaca against circling suitors and Tom Holland’s Telemachus protects a father’s legacy. With Zendaya, Charlize Theron, Robert Pattinson, and more, this old-school studio epic turns one of literature’s oldest journeys into the kind of big-screen event only Nolan could make feel new again.

🎥 Steal Away
(Fri, July 17th — limited release)

Angourie Rice stars as a teenager whose identity starts to crack when her family takes in a refugee played by Mallori Johnson. What begins as curiosity slides into desire, jealousy, and obsession, until wanting someone else’s life becomes dangerously close to erasing her own.

🎥 Horsegirls
(Fri, July 17th — limited release)

Lillian Carrier stars as Margarita, a 22-year-old woman with autism who finds freedom in the wonderfully specific world of hobbyhorsing. As her mother’s illness returns, that passion becomes more than an escape... it becomes a declaration of independence. Written and directed by first-time feature filmmaker Lauren Meyering, this heartfelt debut turns an unlikely arena into a moving story about family, self-determination, and letting go.

🎥 The Kidnapping of Arabella
(Fri, July 17th — limited release, in the NY)

Quarter-life crises usually involve career panic and questionable choices, not a runaway kid who may be your younger self. Benedetta Porcaroli stars as Holly, a restless woman stuck in a dead-end job who becomes convinced Arabella (Lucrezia Guglielmino) has crossed time to give her another shot. Written and directed by Carolina Cavalli, with Chris Pine as Arabella’s self-absorbed author father, this Italian fable turns regret and escape into a tender cosmic road story.

🎥 American Pachuco: The Legend of Luis Valdez
(Fri, July 17th — limited release, at NY’s Film Forum)

🎥 Evil Dead Burn
(Fri, July 10th — wide release)

Death may be permanent, but in this franchise, it’s never quiet. A grieving widow retreats to her late husband’s secluded family home with her in-laws, only to find comfort replaced by Deadite possession, family trauma, and a whole lot of spilled blood. Led by Swiss actress Souheila Yacoub and directed by French horror filmmaker Sébastien Vaniček (Infested), this new chapter drags mourning straight into demonic survival mode. Mourning the dead is hard enough... surviving them is a much bloodier problem.

🎥 Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass
(Fri, July 10th — wide release)

Zoey Deutch stars as Gail, a small-town hairdresser whose engagement implodes after her fiancé uses his celebrity hall pass to “cheat” on her, sending her to Los Angeles to even the score with her own celebrity crush: Mad Men’s Jon Hamm. Directed by David Wain and co-starring John Slattery and Hamm as themselves, this oddball comedy turns heartbreak into one very ill-advised hunt through the shallow end of Hollywood. Perhaps, some celebrity crushes are better left hypothetical than actually pursued.

🎥 The Isolate Thief
(Fri, July 10th — limited release)

The frontier gets a bit colder when gold enters the picture. Mackenzie Foy stars as a lone caretaker at an isolated Civil War-era Union outpost whose quiet survival routine explodes after stolen treasure lands in her hands.

Directed by Xu Zhanxiong, this historical epic finds survival, sacrifice, and duty on the same battlefield.

🎥 Remake
(Fri, July 10th — limited release)

Some films become family albums, and some become unfinished conversations. Documentarian Ross McElwee turns forty years of personal filmmaking into a reflective documentary about his son Adrian, who grew up inside his father’s work, became a filmmaker himself, and later died from a fentanyl overdose. Revisiting Adrian’s final footage alongside the stalled fictional adaptation of Sherman’s March, McElwee shapes a tender meditation on grief, memory, and how a father learns to live with what remains.

🎥 Night Nurse
(Fri, July 10th — limited release)

Cemre Paksoy stars as Eleni, a new caregiver at an upscale retirement community who finds herself drawn into a disturbing chain of scam calls aimed at elderly residents.

🎥 Mockbuster
(Fri, July 10th — limited release, also on ✅VOD/Digital)

Low budgets, massive headaches, and no time to blink. Just another day at the studio behind Sharknado. Filmmaker Anthony Frith directs and stars in this behind-the-scenes comedy documentary about his attempt at making a dinosaur-laden mockbuster for The Asylum, the notorious B-movie company that has built an entire cottage industry of blockbuster knockoffs. With only six days to shoot, shrinking resources, and production problems piling up, the real monster may be the schedule itself.

But with the camp’s future at stake and an old rival across the field, getting everyone to care may be the real uphill battle.

Restored by the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History & Culture, this revival gives a nearly forgotten film its road back into view.

🎥 Minions & Monsters
(Wed, July 1st — wide release)

The Minions are making a monster movie, which means the real disaster is probably happening behind the camera. Pierre Coffin returns to direct and voice the yellow chaos machines as they search for the perfect creature to star in their kaiju-sized production. Once Hollywood comes calling, their big cinematic dream spirals into pratfalls, gibberish, weaponized cuteness, and banana-fueled mayhem. Featuring the voices of Zoey Deutch, Jesse Eisenberg, Jeff Bridges, Allison Janney, and Christoph Waltz, the film keeps the franchise’s slapstick formula alive as the Minions drag their brand of global mayhem straight into monster-movie territory.

🎥 Flies

Loneliness has a way of making even the smallest intrusion feel enormous. Teresa Sánchez stars as Olga, a solitary woman whose carefully controlled routine begins to crack when a lodger secretly brings his young son into her Mexico City apartment.

The backrooms are opening up again, this time with more footage, more lore, and more strange corners to get lost in.

Chiwetel Ejiofor, Renate Reinsve, Mark Duplass, Finn Bennett, and Lukita Maxwell star in one of the biggest hits of the year so far, turning internet-born unease into a full theatrical descent. Everything must go, apparently, including any hope of finding the exit.

🎥 Young Washington
(Fri, July 3rd — wide release)

Before he became a national legend, George Washington was a young soldier facing brutal warfronts, personal trials, and impossible choices that would begin shaping the future of a country not yet born. William Franklyn-Miller stars in this historical drama about the pressure, sacrifice, and rebellious spirit behind the myth, with Mary-Louise Parker, Kelsey Grammer, Andy Serkis, and Ben Kingsley rounding out the cast.

Cult filmmaker Alex Cox, best known for Repo Man and Sid and Nancy, heads West for his supposed final directorial effort, starring as Strindler, a mysterious drifter collecting the names of dead Mexican laborers in an 1890 border town.

🎥 The Invite

🎥 The Room Returns
(Fri, June 26th — special screening at LA’s Hollywood Forever)

Some cult films refuse to stay buried, and The Room may be the most stubborn of them all. Bob Odenkirk stars as Johnny in this charity remake of Tommy Wiseau’s infamous disaster-piece, recreating its baffling mythology with green screens, teleprompters, no rehearsal, and an all-volunteer crew after a shoot that lasted under 12 hours. Bella Heathcote, Kate Siegel, Arturo Castro, Mike Flanagan, Greg Sestero, and director Brando Crawford co-star in a project that doesn’t try to fix the original so much as summon its strange, accidental magic all over again.

Post-breakup limbo gets the Silver Lake indie treatment in this messy LA dramedy.

With June in full bloom, we’re already seeing some summer trends take shape as the release calendar starts heating up. Horror is having a moment, original genre titles are finding room to breathe, and some of the usual franchise heavy hitters are having to work a little harder for attention.

Pixar, meanwhile, is dipping back into the toy box with another familiar favorite, hoping nostalgia still has enough juice to carry the weekend box office. And considering how much audiences still love these Toy Story characters, this could be one of those summer releases that reminds everyone why certain brands never really go away.

On TV, HBO is once again turning Sunday into Westeros night, with another season of House of the Dragon bringing fire, blood, family betrayal, and plenty of royal dysfunction back to the small screen. Add in a fresh batch of streaming premieres, VOD arrivals, and smaller titles trying to cut through the summer noise, and this week has a little bit of everything.

As always, we’ve rounded up the new movies and shows arriving over the next few days across theaters, streaming, VOD and TV. So whether you’re heading out to the movies or staying inside with the remote close by, scroll down and see what catches your eye.

Gregg Allman’s music came from somewhere deeper than fame, and this documentary traces those roots.

Directed by A Quiet Place: Day One’s Michael Sarnoski and co-starring Jodie Comer, Bill Skarsgård, and Noah Jupe, this moody period thriller trades polished swashbuckling for blood, mud, chilly reflection, and one last shot at redemption.

Food content, viral fame, and psychological collapse make for a very strange recipe in this absurdist thriller.

Written and directed by Early, the comedy pulls Kate Berlant, Eric Rahill, Claudia O’Doherty, Conner O’Malley, Vanessa Bayer, Chris Bauer, and Kristen Johnston into a spoof of women-in-peril thrillers with a very serious identity crisis at the center.

🎥 Girls Like Girls

June is rolling in, and we’re already getting a pretty clear sense of how this summer is shaping up. Horror continues to be one of the most reliable draws on the calendar, while some of the bigger IP-driven titles aren’t hitting quite as hard as they used to. That doesn’t mean the summer movie season is in trouble, but it does suggest audiences may be getting a little pickier about what actually gets them off the couch and into a theater.

This week should be especially interesting, as we’ll see whether a master filmmaker like Steven Spielberg still has real sway at the box office, or if the summer conversation keeps shifting toward younger filmmakers becoming the new box office champions.

As always, we’ve rounded up the new movies and shows arriving this week across theaters, streaming, TV, and VOD. So whether you’re heading to your local movie theater, catching up on a new series, or just looking for something fresh to add to the watchlist, scroll down and see what stands out.
