We’re excited to be back at CinemaCon, bringing with us a dynamic theatrical slate that has something for everyone. From anime fantasy and family-friendly comedies to chilling horror, explosive action, and gripping drama, our upcoming slate reflects a full spectrum of genres that’s built to entertain, engage, and cater to all tastes.
We just came off the heels of GOAT, an original animated sports comedy from Sony Pictures Animation and producer Stephen Curry that quickly captivated moviegoers and went on to be a box office slamdunk grossing over $150 million worldwide, reinforcing the power of original, visually-stunning storytelling for the theatrical experience.
And now as we look further ahead into 2026, we have a very exciting line-up in store for you all. In just a few weeks, Crunchyroll’s That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime the Movie: Tears of the Azure Sea will make its theatrical debut on May 1. The anime fantasy film is an original standalone side-story that follows the events of season 3 of the anime series, which has become one of today’s most celebrated isekai franchises.
To kick off the summer, on May 29, one of the highest-grossing stand-up comedians Nate Bargatze will make his feature film debut in The Breadwinner, an original comedy that will charm the whole family. Nate stars opposite Mandy Moore and leads a cast of incredible comedic actors including Will Forte, Colin Jost, Kumail Nanjiani, Zach Cherry, Kate Berlant, and Martin Herlihy.
Come July 31, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, will swing into theatres. Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton and starring Tom Holland, the film will deliver non-stop action and the signature fun, charm and humor audiences around the world have all come to love with this franchise, while ushering in a fresh new chapter for Peter Parker.
The momentum continues with horror in August and September, beginning with the next installment of the hit Insidious franchise on August 21 starring Amelia Eve and seeing the return of series favorite Lin Shaye, followed by Zach Cregger’s highly anticipated original vision for Resident Evil on September 18. Based on Capcom’s hugely popular horror video games, Cregger’s Resident Evil follows one central protagonist’s descent into hell and stars Austin Abrams, Paul Walter Hauser, Zach Cherry, Kali Reis and Johnno Wilson.
On October 9, Aaron Sorkin’s highly anticipated The Social Reckoning will premiere. A companion piece to the hit film The Social Network, the film stars Mikey Madison, Jeremy Allen White, Bill Burr and Jeremy Strong and follows the true story of how Frances Haugen (Madison), a young Facebook engineer, enlists the help of Jeff Horwitz (White), a Wall Street Journal reporter, to go on a dangerous journey that ends up blowing the whistle on the social network’s most guarded secrets.
Mandalay Pictures’ action film Archangel, starring Jim Caviezel and directed by Will Eubank, will debut on November 6 before we cap out the year with the next epic Jumanji adventure, reuniting fan favorites Jack Black, Kevin Hart, Karen Gillan, and Dwayne Johnson and director Jake Kasdan for another hilarious, action-packed ride.
Our success wouldn’t be possible without your continued support, and we look forward to collaborating with you all in the year ahead to deliver outstanding films and unforgettable experiences to audiences everywhere.
