Next Week in Tickets: Films playing Boston 19 June 2026 - 24 June 2026

I occasionally joke about how it's weird that the folks who saw the first Toy Story and Shrek movies in theaters could conceivably be bringing their grandchildren to the the new ones, but also consider the number of characters whose distinct voices have been recast due to infirmity and death. I dunno, seems like like there's some sort of lesson here.

• But, nonetheless, we get Toy Story 5 this weekend, hoping for a third perfect endpoint as the toys call Woody back in to help as Bonnie's latest toy, a tablet, begins to monopolize all of her time and make her antisocial. It's at the Capitol, Fresh Pond (including 3D), Jordan's Furniture (Imax 2D Friday-Sunday), West Newton, CinemaSalem, Boston Common (including Imax Laser 2D & Dolby Cinema 2D & XL 2D & RealD 3D), Causeway Street (including XL 2D & RealD 3D), Kendall Square, the Seaport (including Dolby Atmos), South Bay (including Imax Xenon 2D & Dolby Cinema 2D & RealD 3D), Assembly Row (including Imax Laser 2D & Dolby Cinema 2D & RealD 3D), Arsenal Yards (including CWX), and Chestnut Hill.
  
  On the opposite end of the spectrum is The Death of Robin Hood, which stars Hugh Jackman as the title character, a thief and murderer well aware of the legend already sanitizing his reputation, with his one last raid having unexpected consequences. Michael Sarnoski, who did Pig and A Quiet Place: Day One, directs, and it's a strangely thoughtful hard R playing the Coolidge, the Captiol, Fresh Pond, Boston Common, Causeway Street, the Seaport, South Bay, Assembly Row, and Arsenal Yards.
  
  Two LGBTQIA+ films open for Pride this week, with Levitcus a horror tale in which a demonic entity makes use of the attraction between two teenage boys, appearing to each as the other. It's at the Coolidge, Boston Common, Causeway Street, Kendall Square, the Seaport, South Bay, and Assembly Row. Coming of age film Girls Like Girls - which writer/director Hayley Kiyoko has previously recorded as a song and a book - opens at the Somerville, West Newton, CinemaSalem, Boston Common, and the Seaport. Moonlight also has daily screenings at Boston Common.

There's a surprise preview at Boston Common, Causeway Street, South Bay, and Assembly Row on Monday. Not a surprise are the "Fan First" screenings of Supergirl Wednesday at Boston Common (Imax Laser), Causeway Street (XL), South Bay (Imax Xenon), and Assembly Row (Imax Laser), or the "Fan Event" shows of Jackass: Best and Last Thursday at Boston Common, Causeway Street, South Bay, and Assembly Row. The Spanish-language broadcasts of the World Cup will be playing on the big screen at Assembly Row.
• Indian movies at Apple Fresh Pond (and elsewhere) this weekend include Telugu-language action movie Maa Inti Bangaaram with Samantha Ruth Prabhu as a mother defending her family; Hindi language romantic comedy Cocktail 2 (also at Boston Common), which returns writer/director Homi Adajania but features a new pair of friends finding themselves attracted to the same man; Malayalam-language thriller Balam: The Boy; and Gujarathi-language comedy Jindagi Once More.

Female-led mystery from Saudi Arabia? Interesting! I'll probably also check out Toy Story 5, Dante, and some rep, especially since the Sox are heading out west and you can watch a movie and then baseball! Follow my Letterboxd page for updates!
