We're past the halfway point of the year, so how many movies have you watched at Cineworld during the last few months? As we enter July, we've got a host of unmissable family movies, horrors and blockbusters headed your way.
Here's Luke and Dan with their video round-up of this month's essentials.
Scroll down for more details on all the films that will keep you busy over the next few weeks.
1. MaXXXine (released July 5th)
The fearless Mia Goth reprises her role as the psychotic Maxine Minx who last appeared in director Ti West's gore-soaked slasher throwback X (2022). Having survived the slaughter at the porn shoot on the Texas farm (also the setting of X prequel movie Pearl, released in 2023), Maxine has fled to Hollywood at the height of 1980s decadence and sleaze.
She wants to make it big in the movie industry – but is she willing to kill to achieve her goals? With a murderer on the loose, it's anyone's guess as to how far Maxine will go. The all-star supporting cast includes Kevin Bacon, Elizabeth Debicki and Giancarlo Esposito.
2. Despicable Me 4 (released July 12th in IMAX, 4DX, ScreenX and Superscreen)
Brush up on your Minionese and break out the shrinking ray because loveable megalomaniac Gru and his hapless helpers are back for another irresistible blend of slapstick and family sentiment.
Steve Carell's softie supervillain is now the dad to an adorable infant, Gru Jr. However, when he and Lucy (Kristen Wiig) are framed by two infamous crooks, voiced by Will Ferrell and Sofia Vergara), Gru must take his family off-grid and begin the fight back.
3. Longlegs (released July 12th)
Nicolas Cage goes full gonzo terrifying in this atmospheric chiller from director Osgood Perkins. Not only the son of Psycho icon Anthony Perkins, the filmmaker has generated attention via his elliptical and eerie films including The Blackcoat's Daughter, which blur the line between reality and nightmare.
Longlegs falls very much into this camp. It Follows star Maika Monroe plays a dedicated FBI agent whose investigation into a spate of grisly killings points towards Cage's elusive titular psychopath – but is there more to the case than meets the eye?
4. In a Violent Nature
Chris Nash's brutally gory and experimental slasher movie inverts the genre by putting us in a serial killer's point of view. Meet Johnny, the undead psycho who stomps through the Canadian wilderness in pursuit of hapless teenagers whom he can mangle and distort in unforgettable ways.

5. Fly Me to the Moon (released July 12th)
Come back down to Earth for a gentle rom-com led by charismatic A-listers Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum.
Set during the height of the 1960s Space Race, the film follows the burgeoning relationship between Johansson's marketing director Kelly and Tatum's NASA specialist Cole who is in charge of the Apollo 11 moon landing programme. Expect nostalgic period detail and whimsical chemistry by the payload.

6. Twisters (released July 19th in IMAX, 4DX, ScreenX and Superscreen)
Released in 1996, the original Twister was famously rated PG for 'intense depiction of very bad weather'. That description very much applies to the long-overdue sequel Twisters, which stands to capitalise on post-1990s CGI developments to make those dreaded tornadoes even more convincing.
Top Gun: Maverick's Glen Powell and Normal People's Daisy Edgar Jones are the good-looking human stars attempting to stay planted on the ground in the face of escalating mayhem. But it's really the twisters that we've come to see, right?
7. Deadpool & Wolverine (released July 25th in IMAX, 4DX, ScreenX and Superscreen)
It's been a quiet year for the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) – until now. The pivotal Phase Five chapter Deadpool & Wolverine appears to be positioning itself as a franchise reset, importing Ryan Reynolds' enjoyably lewd and motormouthed anti-hero into the Disney-distributed MCU for the first time.
Reynolds has promised that the character will remain as profane and irresponsible as he was in the previous 20th Century Fox-distributed Deadpool movies. Plus, he's being paired with Hugh Jackman's thought-to-be-dead Logan/Wolverine whose appearance has something to do with the Time Variance Authority (TVA). No doubt there's a multiversal explanation lurking in the back of all this.
