- The big release this weekend is Jurassic World: Dominion, with Colin Treverow returning to the director's chair for the finale of the series, picking up where Fallen Kingdom left off with dinosaurs out of the park and original Jurassic Park stars Sam Neill, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum joining new series leads Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard. It's at The Capitol, the Museum of Science (Omnimax weekends), Jordan's Furniture (Imax 2D/3D weekends), Fresh Pond (including 3D), Boston Common (including Imax Xenon 2D & 3D/Dolby Cinema/RealD 3D and showtimes subtitled in various languages), Fenway (including RealD 3D), South Bay (including Imax Xenon 2D & 3D/Dolby Cinema/RealD 3D), Kendall Square, Assembly Row (including Imax Xenon 2D & 3D/Dolby Cinema/RealD 3D), Arsenal Yards (including CWX), the Embassy, and Chestnut Hill.
Fenway and South Bay have 60th Anniversary shows of Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? on Sunday and Wednesday.

From the names of the cast, it looks like star Swamy Rotolo's real-life family fills the supporting roles.
There are relatively few shows of The Walk on the schedule, but director Daniel Adams and his co-writer George Powell will be there for the one at 6:30pm on Saturday to discuss their film about desegregation and busing in 1970s Boston. The week's Pride Month Retro Replay is Too Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything!, Julie Newmar on Tuesday. - Korean action film The Roundup opens at Boston Common; you may remember it from the trailer was nothing but Ma Dong-seok (aka Don Lee) punching people with his big meaty fists cannily released the same week as Eternals.
New from India are Hindi condom-sales comedy Janhit Mein Jaari at Boston Common, Telugu comedy Ante Sundaraniki at Boston Common; Apple Fresh Pond also gets Marathi-language biography Dharmaveer and cute-dog Rakshit Shetty comedy 777 Charlie.

The plan is for a perpetual roadshow rather than home releases, and it's worth catching at least once.
Midnights for June will primarily feature the work of David Cronenberg (whose latest Crimes of the Future continues), with a 35mm print of Dead Ringers on Friday and a DCP of Crash on Saturday. There's also a Masked Matinee of Everything Everywhere All at Once on Saturday, a Goethe-Institut presentation of Dear Thomas Sunday morning, as well as a 35mm Cinemas Jukebox show of La Bamba on Thursday - The Somerville Theatre officially kicks off their 70mm and Widescreen Fest this week, although they kind of do that all the time. Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time… In Hollywood and The Hateful Eight play Friday to Sunday, both on 70mm film (the latter Ultra-Widescreen). The Midnight Special on Friday night is Speed Racer (for those looking to stretch the Brattle's Wachowski Week out a bit).

- The Wednesday Ocean Film Series entry at The Regent Theatre this week is The Race to Alaska, a documentary featuring an event described as "the Iditarod on a boat".

The Luna Theater screens Men most of the week, with shows Friday, Saturday, and Sunday; Fanny: The Right to Rock on Saturday and Thursday; a Pride Edition of the Teseracte Players' Rocky Horror show on Saturday; and But I'm a Cheerleader on Sunday. And, of course, the free Weirdo Wednesday show.
Cinema Salem Friday-Monday line-up is Top Gun: Maverick, Jurassic World: Dominion, and The Bob's Burgers Movie. They will also be showing Panorama Film Festival 2022: A Revolutionary Exis, a 2+ hour short film block for and by queer and trans youth on Thursday. - The big outdoor screening this week has the Coolidge bringing a 35mm projector to the Greenway for The Birds on Wednesday (or Thursday in the case of rain). Joe's Free Films, sadly, isn't showing many more yet.
- For those still not ready to join random people in a room for two hours, theater rentals are available at Kendall Square, The Embassy, West Newton, the Capitol and Somerville, The Venue, CinemaSalem, and many of the multiplexes. The film program at the MFA will return at the end of the month with the Roxbury International Film Festival.
