Scary Movie

Love it or hate it, the Scary Movie franchise is known for crossing all kinds of lines to tell its parodies. This 2026, Scary Movie is back with a new movie featuring the return of OG characters Cindy (Anna Faris), Brenda (Regina Hall), Shorty (Marlon Wayans), and Ray (Shawn Wayans).

Twenty-six years after outrunning a suspiciously familiar masked killer, the Core Four are back in the killer’s crosshairs, and no horror movie IP is safe. The four reunite in Scary Movie alongside returning favorites and fresh faces to slash through reboots, remakes, requels, prequels, sequels, spin-offs, elevated horror, origin stories, anything with the word legacy in it, and every “final chapter” that absolutely isn’t final. Watch this in cinemas on June 10.

Open Endings

The sapphic film centers on Kit (Klea Pineda), Charlie (Janella Salvador), Hannah (Jasmine Curtis-Smith), and Mihan (Leanne Mamonong), friends with complicated pasts, as they navigate life, love, and adulthood.

See how it all goes down in cinemas on June 17.

The most frequent mistake viewers make is assuming that a movie’s streaming premiere date means it will be available across every platform simultaneously, or confusing global streaming rights with local cinema availability. For example, massive blockbusters like Avatar: Fire & Ash on Disney+ and Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 on HBO Max are making their streaming debuts this June after completing their theatrical windows, meaning they require active standalone premium subscriptions on those specific apps. Always double-check which local platform carries the exclusive regional license to avoid missing an exact drop time.
