120. “Undertone”
A paranormal podcast becomes a conduit for dread in “Undertone,” the feature debut from writer-director Ian Tuason. Nina Kiri stars as Evy, a skeptic co-hosting a supernatural show with her friend Justin (Kris Holden-Ried) while returning home to care for her dying mother (Michèle Duquet). When Evy starts receiving eerie audio recordings from a couple reporting disturbing noises in their house, the material pulls her into mounting paranoia. The film’s key formal hook is pure sound-driven horror: Evy is the only character shown on-screen, with everyone else existing as voices, emphasizing design, recordings, and the terror of what cannot be seen. After this debut, Tuason has since been tapped to helm the next “Paranormal Activity” film.
Release Date: March 13, via A24.
119. “Pressure”
A British historical drama film written and directed by Anthony Maras (“Hotel Mumbai”), “Pressure” centers on a meteorologist who must deliver a weather report to the Allied Forces’ high command to determine the feasibility of the planned D-Day attack during World War II. Andrew Scott stars as meteorologist James Stagg, and Brendan Fraser plays Dwight D. Eisenhower. Kerry Condon, Damian Lewis, and Chris Messina all co-star.
Release Date: TBD via Focus Features, which could trot it out during the fall film festival circuit.
118. “Michael”
Antoine Fuqua directs “Michael,” the authorized biopic of Michael Jackson, starring Jaafar Jackson as his uncle, alongside Colman Domingo, Nia Long, and Miles Teller. Written by John Logan, the film chronicles Jackson’s life and career from child stardom through global superstardom, exploring both triumph and controversy. Produced by Graham King (“Bohemian Rhapsody”) and the Jackson estate, it’s one of Lionsgate’s major 2026 awards-season plays. Apparently, enough footage has been shot to make a second film, but Lionsgate wants to see how well the first film performs first.
Release Date: April 17, via Lionsgate.
117 . “I Play Rocky”
Peter Farrelly directs “I Play Rocky,” a biographical drama about the tumultuous production of “Rocky.” Anthony Ippolito stars as Sylvester Stallone, with Stephan James as Carl Weathers, AnnaSophia Robb as Sasha Czack, Matt Dillon as Frank Stallone Sr., P. J. Byrne as Irwin Winkler, Toby Kebbell as Robert Chartoff, Tracy Letts as Sandy Maddox, and Jay Duplass as John G. Avildsen.

116. “The Devil Wears Prada 2”
Nearly two decades after the original, “The Devil Wears Prada 2” reunites stars Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, and Anne Hathaway for a sequel directed by David Frankel and written by Aline Brosh McKenna. Produced by Walt Disney Studios and 20th Century Studios, the film follows Miranda Priestly as she faces a digital-era fashion industry collapse, forcing an uneasy reunion with her former assistant. The sequel’s development coincides with Streep’s ongoing collaborations with Disney, and Frankel’s return signals a mix of satire and emotional reconciliation.
Release Date: August 14, via 20th Century Studios.
115. “They Will Kill You”
Kirill Sokolov directs “They Will Kill You,” a horror-action thriller starring Zazie Beetz, Myha’la, Tom Felton, Heather Graham, and Patricia Arquette. Co-written by Sokolov and Alex Litvak, the film follows a young woman who takes a housekeeping job in a luxury New York apartment building, only to discover its residents belong to a murderous cult with a history of disappearances. Mixing the claustrophobic intensity of “The Raid” with the dark humor of “Ready or Not,” it marks the first production from Nocturna, the new horror label from Andy and Barbara Muschietti, in partnership with Skydance Media. Shot in South Africa, Sokolov’s English-language debut promises gory spectacle and sardonic wit in equal measure.
Release Date: March 27, via Warner Bros. Pictures / New Line Cinema.
114. “Toy Story 5”
Pixar revisits its flagship franchise with “Toy Story 5,” written and directed by Andrew Stanton and produced by Lindsey Collins. Returning voices include Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Joan Cusack, Tony Hale, Blake Clark, John Ratzenberger, and Melissa Villaseñor, while newcomers Anna Faris, Ernie Hudson, Conan O’Brien, and Greta Lee join the playroom. Set after “Toy Story 4,” the sequel finds Jessie leading Bonnie’s room as a new favorite—a frog-like smart tablet called Lilypad—that turns playtime into a clash between classic toys and seductive tech, leaning into Stanton’s idea that “nobody’s playing with toys anymore” while still chasing that Pixar emotional body blow.
Release Date: June 19, via Walt Disney Pictures / Pixar Animation Studios.
113. “Crime 101”
Based on Don Winslow’s novella, Crime 101 is directed by Bart Layton and stars Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Barry Keoghan, Monica Barbaro, Corey Hawkins, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Halle Berry, and Nick Nolte.

Release Date: February 13 via Amazon MGM Studios.

“Mr. Robot” creator Sam Esmail writes and directs “Panic Carefully,” a thriller that reunites him with Julia Roberts after “Leave the World Behind” and also stars Elizabeth Olsen, Eddie Redmayne, Brian Tyree Henry, Joe Alwyn, Ben Chaplin, Aidan Gillen, Naledi Murray, Sebastian Orozco, and Wilf Scolding. Produced by Esmail, Roberts, and key collaborators, the Warner Bros. release leans into his precise, tech-noir sensibility for a character-driven suspense story built around secrecy, surveillance, and trust under pressure.
Release Date: TBD via Warner Bros. Pictures.
111. “Carousel”
Writer-director Rachel Lambert follows “Sometimes I Think About Dying” with something decidedly softer, “Carousel,” a romantic drama starring Chris Pine, Jenny Slate, Abby Ryder Fortson, Sam Waterston, Katey Sagal, Heléne Yorke, Jessica Harper, and Jeffrey DeMunn. Set in Cleveland, it traces a divorced doctor whose carefully controlled life is shaken by his daughter’s debate ambitions and the return of a past love, pushing him toward a second chance.
Release Date: TBD; premiering at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival.
