US Movie Releases

Five weeks after Digger opened, the scores the September version of this guide could not report are in: a 53% Tomatometer from 341 critic reviews , a 77% audience score , and a Metascore of 46 from 60 critics. The title's word "divisive" survived the wait - but the split turned out to run between critics and audiences, not between critics, and the six-to-one wave of negative first reactions out of London was the least reliable signal in the whole sequence.

Key takeaways Rotten Tomatoes: 53% from 341 critic reviews ; Popcornmeter 77% from 1,000+ verified ratings. The consensus calls its "audacious design" too mannered for every laugh to land. Metacritic: 46 from 60 critics - 18 positive, 27 mixed, 15 negative - against a 7.3 user score from 296 ratings. The seven first reactions ...

"Charlie Harper" opened in wide release today, and the reviews that arrived overnight are split almost exactly down the middle: a 57% Tomatometer score built from 23 counted reviews as of this writing, with critics agreeing on what the film is trying to do and disagreeing hard on whether it works. That split is the actual story here — more useful to a reader deciding whether to buy a ticket tonight than a scene-by-scene account of what happens to Charlie and Harper, which this guide won't give away.

Key takeaways On the only two aggregate scores both films have, the newer one wins: Heart of the Beast sits at 84 percent critics on 185 reviews and 94 percent audience, against 78 percent on 402 reviews and 84 percent audience for The Revenant. Commercially the gap is the other way round. Heart of the Beast has taken 181.2 million dollars worldwide in six weekends; The Revenant finished at 533.6 million dollars on a 135 million dollar budget. The crowded-Friday worry in the September version of this page did not materialise: the film opened third with 20.0 million dollars from 3,435 theaters and was still in 1,695 theaters on November 2. Runtime, rating and release date on the September release sheet were all correct - 1 hour 41 minutes, PG-13, Sept...

Colleen Hoover's second theatrical adaptation arrives in U.S. theaters on October 2, 2026 , and it is nothing like the one before it. "It Ends With Us" was a PG-13 romantic drama that leaned on Hoover's built-in readership to cross $345 million worldwide. "Verity," directed by Michael Showalter for Amazon MGM Studios, is an R-rated psychological thriller — and that single letter rating changes who this movie is actually for.

Forgotten Island is scheduled to open in U.S. theaters on September 25, 2026. Universal Pictures’ official page is already listing showtimes, while the Motion Picture Association has assigned the animated film a PG rating. That gives families and animation fans enough verified information to make an early plan, but not enough to treat every plot detail circulating online as settled fact. This spoiler-conscious guide separates what the studio and ratings board currently confirm from what viewers should still verify at their local theater. It does not claim an advance viewing, and it does not turn trailer impressions into facts. The goal is simpler: help you decide whether to buy early, wait for reviews, or choose a different format once your theater posts a complete schedule. The confirmed r...

If you skipped a theatrical release this year assuming it would show up on Peacock or Disney+ within a couple of weeks, that assumption is now wrong more often than it's right. Starting in 2026, every major Hollywood studio has committed, in writing and on stage at CinemaCon, to holding new movies in theaters exclusively for a minimum of 45 days before any home release — rental, purchase, or subscription streaming. Universal is going further, and Disney is already running longer than the floor requires. The practical effect: the gap between a movie's opening weekend and the day you can watch it from your couch has roughly tripled since the pandemic-era low point.

Updated September 26, 2026. The re-release details below come from Marvel's own announcement of August 25, 2026 and Disney's official film page, both read that day. Counts of days are this article's arithmetic. No ticket prices appear here, because they vary by chain, format and city. A re-release asks a different question from a new film. The movie is known, it has been available at home for years, and the only thing a ticket buys that a sofa does not is the room, the format and whatever is attached to the print. So the useful review of Avengers Endgame: Encore is not whether the film is good. It is who gains something from the theatrical version, and who is being sold a night out for footage they will see anyway.
