A Long List of Every Movie I'm Seeing In Theaters the Rest of 2026
We’ve had a good summer. I’m not ready to say goodbye to the heat yet but I am ready to transition out of a (very successful) blockbuster season into my favorite one: Awards. For those of us who love a quiet, introspective film as much as the 70mm IMAX experience, we are in for a treat the remainder of the year, though it’s not always easy to keep up with all that’s coming out and when. So I gathered some recs — I asked both my previous guests and you guys in the chat what you’re most looking forward to seeing and compiled this long list that I’m sure will only get longer as more release dates get solidified. Enjoy and let me know what your most anticipated titles are!
Disclaimer: I’m sure there are many movies still missing from this list. Please add them in the comments! Also, release date info is surprisingly hard to find for a lot of them. Some might be wrong or missing, let me know that too.
