July is already coming to a close. Soon, summer will begin its slow fade into the rearview mirror. But don’t go thinking there isn’t anything worth watching as the summer movie season begins to wind down. You might be surprised by how many left-field options are still competing for your attention. And this week is a perfect example, with several major releases that aren’t exactly your run-of-the-mill summer fare. TV, on the other hand, has been getting increasingly crowded with high-profile projects, and that trend isn’t showing any signs of slowing down, as this week pushes the release calendar into overdrive.

Like always, we’ve piled up every major release coming to theaters, streaming, VOD, and television this week. So whether you’re looking for a big-screen option or your next binge-watch, there should be something here worth adding to your list. Scroll down and see what deserves a spot on your watchlist.

šŸŽ„ In Theaters This Week
⇩

šŸŽ„ Splash City
(Mon, July 20th — limited release; in select cities)

San Francisco offers two brothers very different ways forward: basketball for one, smash-and-grab robberies for the other. Reed Shannon, Zach Sowers, TJ Atoms, and Hazel Green star in Alex Ferrufino and Gilbert Anthony Milam Jr.’s crime thriller, where street pressure pushes family loyalty toward betrayal... and every possible escape comes with its own price.


šŸŽ„ Mob Psycho 100: 10th Anniversary
(Mon, July 20th — one-day theatrical event)

All Mob wants is a normal eighth-grade life. Unfortunately, his overwhelming psychic abilities threaten to erupt whenever his bottled-up emotions reach 100 percent. Featuring fan-selected episodes from his supernatural coming-of-age story, this one-day Crunchyroll Anime Nights presentation brings the exorcisms, adolescent insecurity, and emotional pressure of the series to the big screen for its 10th anniversary.


šŸŽ„ EVANGELION:DEATH (TRUE)² & REBIRTH
(Tues, July 21st — limited release; re-release)

Before Evangelion reached one of anime’s most debated endings, there was this fractured bridge between the television series and what came next. Returning for the Evangelion 30th Movie Fest, Hideaki Anno’s 1997 film combines a compilation of the show’s first 24 episodes with an early portion of the alternate ending later known as ā€œAirā€; bringing its apocalyptic pressure and unresolved questions back to theaters.


šŸŽ„ Bad Counselors
(Wed, July 22nd — wide release; via Fathom Entertainment)

Two fraternity brothers need 120 hours of community service to avoid expulsion, so naturally they pose as counselors at a Christian youth camp. Matt Cornett and Ramon Reed lead this comedy as two men who dislike children, hate camping, and have no business supervising either. Brec Bassinger, Missi Pyle, and Chris Klein join a scheme that treats redemption as one more rule waiting to be broken.


šŸŽ„ Sia: Nostalgic for the Present — 10th Anniversary
(Thurs, July 23rd — theatrical anniversary event)

Sia’s 2016 stage production returns as a remastered concert film shaped by vocals, Ryan Heffington’s choreography, and cinematic performance. Co-directed by Sia and Daniel Askill, the anniversary presentation features Maddie Ziegler and appearances from Paul Dano, Gaby Hoffman, Ben Mendelsohn, Tig Notaro, and Kristen Wiig—bringing a visual interpretation of Sia’s catalog back to the big screen.


šŸŽ„ Motor City
(Fri, July 24th — wide release)

Reacher star Alan Ritchson goes full ā€˜70s revenge machine in this grimy Detroit crime action-thriller about a working-class man framed by a ruthless gangster (Ben Foster) and robbed of years behind bars. Once free, he tears through the Motor City to reclaim the woman (Shailene Woodley) he loves and settle the score. 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.


šŸŽ„ 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. Her path crosses Charles Melton’s Private K, an American GI trying to rescue his daughter from Hell, pulling both missions into a neon-hazed sci-fi horror vision where the city itself appears to be slipping into the underworld.


šŸŽ„ 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 ā€œbadā€ 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.


šŸŽ„ 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.


šŸŽ„ 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, AndrĆ© De Shields, Amber Gray, and Patrick Page perform AnaĆÆs 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.


šŸŽ„ 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.


šŸŽ„ 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.


šŸŽ„ 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 ā€œLecktor.ā€ The first screen adaptation of Thomas Harris’s Hannibal Lecter novels remains a chilling case of understanding the monster a little too well.


šŸŽ„ 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.
