Minions & Monsters (July 1) - In Theaters
Fresh off the blockbuster success of Despicable Me 4, the franchise expands its joyful animated universe with a riotous new chapter, featuring all-new characters, in Minions & Monsters.
This is the rambunctious, ridiculous, and "totally true story" of how the Minions conquered Hollywood, became movie stars, lost everything, unleashed monsters onto the world, and then banded together to try and save the planet from the mayhem they had just created.
Enola Holmes 3 (July 1) - Netflix
Enola Holmes 3 follows the sharp-witted detective to the shores of Malta, where her highest personal stakes and most dangerous case yet collide in a web of treachery.
Millie Bobby Brown, Louis Partridge, Henry Cavill, Himesh Patel, Helena Bonham Carter, and Sharon Duncan-Brewster are reprising their roles from the previous films. Philip Barantini (Adolescence) directed the installment.
Moana (July 10) - In Theaters
In Disney’s live-action reimagining of Moana, Moana answers the Ocean’s call and, for the first time, voyages beyond the reef of her island of Motunui with the infamous demigod Maui on an unforgettable journey to restore prosperity to her people.
Newcomer actress Catherine Lagaʻaia will play the titular character, while Dwayne Johnson is reprising the role of Maui (and involved as producer). Auliʻi Cravalho, who voiced the character in the animated films, serves as one of the executive producers.
Evil Dead Burn (July 10) - In Theaters
Evil Dead Burn unleashes the franchise’s most savage and terrifying ride to date, blazing onto big screens with an all-new chapter of carnage and demonic mayhem. Sébastien Vaniček directed the film, while Sam Raimi is involved as a producer.
After the loss of her husband, a woman seeks solace with her in-laws in their secluded family home. As one by one they are transformed into Deadites, turning the gathering into a family reunion from hell, she comes to discover that the vows she took in life live on even in death.
The Odyssey (July 17) - In Theaters
Christopher Nolan’s highly anticipated The Odyssey is a mythic action epic shot across the world using brand new IMAX film technology. It follows Odysseus on his long and perilous journey home following the Trojan War, chronicling his encounters with mythical beings while attempting to reunite with his wife, Penelope.
The star-studded cast is led by Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o, Zendaya, Charlize Theron, and many more. It is considered one of this year's most-anticipated films, especially following the massive success of Nolan's previous film, Oppenheimer.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day (July 31) - In Theaters
Spider-Man: Brand New Day follows Peter Parker as he navigates a fresh chapter of his life, committing full-time to his superhero duties in a world that has completely forgotten his true identity.
Coping with the isolation of watching his former friends build lives without him, Peter experiences a profound inner change that begins to spiral out of his control. However, this unpredictable transformation may become his only weapon against a devastating, invisible threat targeting New York City and the people he secretly holds dear.
The cast includes Tom Holland, Zendaya, Sadie Sink, Jacob Batalon, Jon Bernthal, Tramell Tillman, Michael Mando, and Mark Ruffalo. Destin Daniel Cretton directed the film.
