Looking for the best film releases? Look no further. After two years of a lacklustre box office, it is safe to say that the Friday evening act of attending the cinema has returned. While streaming blockbuster films from the comfort of our very own homes was once a novelty, there is something so special about leaving the house and seeing a film on the big screen. Highly recommended if you’re thinking about seeing Baz Luhrmann’s ELVIS (you absolutely should).
Restrictions have seen some of the most-anticipated films from the last three years severely delayed and now, they are colliding into the cinema all at once. Below we list all the best film releases for the remainder of 2022. Because there is a lot!
July
The best film releases of July see a myriad of theatrical openings and streaming specials. Of course, the month opens with Thor: Love and Thunder which sees Chris Hemsworth reunite on the silver screen with Natalie Portman. Next, is an unexpected romantic comedy from Paramount Pictures dubbed Falling for Figaro which follows Danielle McDonald as she pursues her dream of an opera career.
The rest of the month includes book adaptions (a highly-contested genre) with Jane Austen’s Persuasion reimagined into a modern rom-com on Netflix. Where The Crawdads Sing will see Daisy Edgar-Jones make her cinematic debut in heart-stopping thriller to close out July.
Thor: Love and Thunder – 6.07.22
Falling For Figaro – 14.07.22

August
The month of August is a little more quiet for film releases but thrilling nonetheless. First on the agenda is Bullet Train starring Brad Pitt (in one of his last ever films we suspect) and Sandra Bullock. Jordan Peele’s next terrifying horror film Nope follows (but not for the faint-hearted). Next, the adrenaline will surely continue to pump with Idris Elba’s thriller, BEAST.
Bullet Train – 4.08.22
Nope – 11.08.22
BEAST – 25.08.22
September
The cinematic schedule for September is huge, so bear with us. The best film releases of the year continues with Moonage Dream which has been described as a “immersive cinematic experience”. It will feature unseen footage from the age of David Bowie, but make no mistake, this is no documentary. The same day will see the release of Ticket to Paradise starring Julia Robert and George Clooney. It is the actresses next long-awaited romantic comedy film which was filmed on the sunny shores of Queensland.
Our attention will turn to Netflix for a movie night at home with the release of BLONDE starring Ana de Armas. The Cuban actress will transform into Marilyn Monroe for an explosive adaption of Joyce Carol Oates’ novel of the same name.
Next, Saoirse Ronan is welcomed back to the silver screen with the 20th Century Studios film See How They Run. A light-hearted comedic take on a 1950s murder mystery. And finally, the month ends with the Disney+ release of Hocus Pocus 2, just in time for spooky season. Sarah Jessica Parker, Bette Midler and Kath Najimy will reunite for the first time in 29 years to bring the franchise back to life.
Moonage Dream – 15.09.22
Ticket to Paradise – 15.09.22
BLONDE – 23.09.22
