Whether you're looking for superhero spectacle, horror scares, or heartwarming stories, June's releases will keep you entertained all month long.
From the World of John Wick: Ballerina
June 6th (theatres)
Ana de Armas plays a deadly assassin named Eve who wants revenge for something terrible that happened to her. She's part of the same killer-for-hire world as John Wick, with the same fancy hotels and gold coins. The movie happens between John Wick 3 and 4, so you should definitely watch John Wick 3 first to understand the world and characters. If you really want the full picture, watch John Wick 1-4 before this one. Early reviews say it's got amazing fight scenes and Ana de Armas is perfect as the lead.
Predator: Killer of Killers
June 6th (Hulu)
The alien hunter we know from the movies travels through time to hunt different warriors throughout history - Vikings, ninjas, World War 2 soldiers. It's animated and very violent, but the animation lets them do crazy action scenes. This shows the Predator's hunting history, so watch Prey (2022) first - it's the most recent Predator movie and will help you understand how these aliens work and why they hunt humans.
The Life of Chuck
June 6th (theatres)
Tom Hiddleston stars in this story about a man's life told backwards - starting from the end and going to the beginning. It's based on a Stephen King story, but it's not horror at all. Instead, it's about finding meaning in ordinary life and appreciating small moments. People who saw it at film festivals say it made them cry in a good way and think about their own lives differently.
The Ritual
June 6th (theatres)
Don't mix this up with that 2017 horror flick of the same name - this Ritual tells a completely different story. It follows Emma Schmidt, a young woman whose family believes she's possessed by evil spirits. Two very different priests come together to help her - Father Theophilus Riesinger, an older priest played by Al Pacino who's dealing with his own troubled past, and Father Joseph Steiger, played by Dan Stevens, who's struggling with doubts about his faith. As they perform dangerous exorcism rituals to try to save Emma, both men must face their own inner struggles while battling what they believe are supernatural forces. Based on real events, the story shows how these two flawed men push through their personal problems to fight for a young woman's soul, even when their own beliefs are tested to the breaking point.
How to Train Your Dragon
June 13th (theatres)
The beloved cartoon gets turned into a live-action movie with real actors and amazing effects. It's still about Hiccup, a young Viking who doesn't fit in, and Toothless, a dragon everyone fears. But instead of fighting, they become best friends and change their whole world. You don't need to watch the animated version first, but if you loved those movies, this will bring back all those feelings with incredible realistic dragons.
Materialists
June 13th (theatres)
Dakota Johnson plays a woman who sets up rich people with perfect dates for money. But her own love life is a mess - she's stuck between her sweet ex-boyfriend who's broke and a new rich guy who can give her everything. Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal play the two men, and the movie asks tough questions about love versus money. It's from the director of Past Lives, so expect real emotions and smart writing.
Echo Valley
June 6th (limited theaters) / June 13th Apple TV+
A mother lives alone on a quiet farm, when her daughter shows up covered in blood. Julianne Moore plays the mom who has to figure out what happened and how far she'll go to protect her child. Sydney Sweeney is the daughter with dangerous secrets. It's a slow burn thriller that builds tension as you learn what really happened.
The Twits
June 13th (Netflix)
Mr. and Mrs. Twit are the nastiest, most disgusting couple ever, and they run a horrible amusement park called Twitlandia. But some brave kids and magical animals team up to stop them. It's based on the Roald Dahl book and keeps all the gross, funny parts that make kids laugh and adults cringe. The animation looks wild and colorful, perfect for Dahl's weird imagination.
28 Years Later
June 20th (theatres)
The zombie virus from 28 Days Later is back, and it's been 28 years since the first outbreak. The infected people have gotten smarter and scarier, and the world is falling apart. Danny Boyle and Alex Garland, who made the original movies, are back to terrify us again. You should definitely watch 28 Days Later (2002) and 28 Weeks Later (2007) first - this continues their story and you'll miss a lot of important background without them.
Everything's Gonna Be Great
June 20th (theatres)
"Everything's Gonna Be Great" follows Buddy Smart (Bryan Cranston), a passionate regional theater actor whose family travels across the country performing in small productions. Along with his wife Macy (Allison Janney) and their two sons, they struggle to make ends meet while chasing their theater dreams from state to state.
The family faces personal loss and the constant challenge of staying together while dealing with the ups and downs of show business. It's funny and heartbreaking, showing how they hold onto hope even when life gets messy.
The movie feels like those cozy indie films from 2008 - the kind that remind you of community theater and simpler times. It has that nostalgic and heartfelt vibe.
This might just be the best feel good movie of 2025.
Bride Hard
June 20th (theatres)

F1
June 27th (theatres)
Brad Pitt plays an old Formula 1 driver who comes back to racing to help train a young driver (Damson Idris). They filmed this at real F1 races with real drivers, so the racing scenes look incredible. Lewis Hamilton helped make the movie, so everything about the racing world is authentic. It's about second chances, the psychology of driving 200 mph, and the bond between teacher and student.
M3GAN 2.0
June 27th (theatres)
The killer robot doll is back, but this time she's trying to help instead of hurt. M3GAN has to protect her creators from a new, even more dangerous military robot. She's been redesigned to be smaller and cuter, but she's still got that sassy personality. You absolutely need to watch M3GAN (2023) first - this is a direct sequel and won't make sense without knowing her origin story and relationship with her family.

Eva Victor wrote, directed, and stars in this dark comedy about dealing with trauma and pain in unexpected ways. It's funny but also deals with serious emotional stuff. People at Sundance loved how it finds humor in dark places without making fun of real pain. It's weird and touching at the same time, like laughing and crying during the same scene.
