Need a midweek pick-me-up? The cinemas have got you covered. This week’s new movie lineup is all kinds of unexpected in the best way possible. We’re talking space misadventures, post-apocalyptic thrills, a survival horror at sea, and a cheeky curse with a whole lot of heart. There’s Pixar’s cosmic adventure Elio, the chilling return of the rage virus in 28 Years Later, the survival horror Dangerous Animals, and the bold fantasy comedy Flower Girl. Whether you’re in the mood for aliens, apocalyptic tension, shark-infested waters, or a modern-day curse with heart, this week’s lineup brings something exciting for every kind of movie fan.
Now, let’s take a closer look at the four new films you can catch this week:
Disney and Pixar are back with another intergalactic heartwarmer. Meet Elio, a quirky kid with a head full of space fantasies who suddenly finds himself accidentally teleported to a council of aliens convinced he’s Earth’s ambassador.
Awkward? Very. But also hilarious, visually stunning, and surprisingly sweet. With a voice cast that includes Zoe Saldaña and an adventure that spans lightyears, Elio delivers family-friendly laughs and cosmic lessons about identity, courage, and finding your place in the universe.
If you’re still recovering from 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later, brace yourself, it’s back.
28 Years Later drops us deep into a new nightmare where the rage virus still haunts what’s left of humanity. A quarantined island offers a fragile kind of peace… until one survivor crosses the causeway back to the mainland, where evolution has taken a horrifying turn. Jodie Comer leads this haunting third chapter in the virus saga, and it’s every bit as chilling, chaotic, and pulse-pounding as fans would expect. Horror fans, prepare for an edge-of-your-seat experience.
Think you’ve seen every survival thriller out there? Think again.
In Dangerous Animals, a carefree surfer is kidnapped by a shark-worshipping serial killer and trapped on a boat in the middle of nowhere. Her only way out? Outsmarting her captor before she becomes bait for his twisted feeding ritual. It’s part ocean terror, part psychological cat-and-mouse, and all heart-racing suspense. If you’re craving tension and high-stakes survival, this horror-thriller brings the bite.

Flower Girl tells the bizarre, magical, and surprisingly tender story of Ena, a self-centered woman who insults the wrong person and ends up cursed in a way she never imagined. Her only shot at breaking it? Finding someone who loves her for who she is… not what she has.
With cheeky humor, vibrant visuals, and standout performances from Sue Ramirez and KaladKaren, Flower Girl is the bold, fantasy-tinged comedy that mixes laughter with a little bit of soul-searching. And yes, you’ll want to talk about it afterwards.

It’s New Movie Wednesday! Whether you’re in the mood to be thrilled, chilled, or charmed, this week’s lineup of eight new movies—A Working Man, Bloat, Drop, Rule Breakers, The Amateur, The Demon Disorder, The Red Envelope, and Un-Ex You—is bringing all the feels and then some. Hitting theaters today, April 9, 2025, these releases are a cinematic jackpot—think Jason Statham kicking down doors in A Working Man, Rami Malek decoding danger in The Amateur, Kim Molina and Jerald Napoles sparking romance in Un-Ex You, and a ghostly groom shaking up The Red Envelope. From edge-of-your-seat action to goosebump-worthy horror and side-splitting flair, we’ve got the scoop on what’s fresh and where to catch the showtimes. So, rally your crew, grab some extra-buttered popcorn, and catch these must-see picks—your midweek just got a major upgrade!
Now, let’s take a sneak peek at what’s premiering this week:
Jason Statham is back doing what he does best—kicking down doors and taking names. In A Working Man, he’s Levon Cade, a former black ops soldier turned construction worker. When his boss’s daughter is snatched by human traffickers, Cade trades his hammer for a gun, uncovering a web of corruption that’s dirtier than a Manila back alley. With David Harbour and Michael Peña in tow, this action-crime-thriller is a high-octane ride. Think you can handle the heat?
Something evil lurks beneath the surface—literally. Something came back with him. After a chilling drowning accident, a boy begins acting… not quite himself. Possessed by a lake-dwelling demon, he unleashes pure terror on his own family. Bloat is not for the faint of heart. If you’re into chilling folklore and possession horror, this one’s ready to haunt you.
Drop turns a flirty night out into a nightmare. Meghann Fahy’s Violet, a widowed mom, meets charming Henry (Brandon Sklenar) for a date—until anonymous phone drops reveal a hooded figure threatening her son and sister. Her tormentor’s final order? Kill Henry. This mystery-thriller’s twists will glue you to your seat—what would you do?
Rule Breakers brings the feels and the fight. In a land where girls’ education is forbidden, a fearless woman (Nikohl Boosheri) teaches in secret, igniting hope and havoc. Ali Fazal and Sami Fekkak join her in this drama about courage under fire. It’s a story that resonates—could this be your next tearjerker?
Rami Malek swaps geek for grit in The Amateur. After a terrorist attack claims his wife, this shy CIA decoder ditches protocol to hunt the culprits, despite Laurence Fishburne and Michael Stuhlbarg’s warnings. It’s a sleek, smart thriller with a vengeance vibe. Ready to cheer for the quiet guy?
Dark secrets don’t stay buried. When three brothers reunite after their father’s death, a chilling family secret is unearthed—along with something far more sinister. The Demon Disorder taps into generational trauma with a supernatural twist that’ll linger long after the credits roll.

The Red Envelope is a wild mashup you didn’t know you needed. Putthipong Assaratanakul’s Menn, a crook-turned-spy, grabs a cursed envelope and ends up hitched to Titi (Krit Amnuaydechkorn), a cheeky gay ghost. Action, comedy, and supernatural sparks fly in this Thai delight. Love knows no bounds—even death!
She wants a baby. He doesn’t remember her. Sounds like a plan, right? This new Viva rom-com has real-life couple Kim Molina and Jerald Napoles bringing chemistry, chaos, and kilig in Un-Ex You. Add Candy Pangilinan’s signature wit, and you’ve got a heartfelt story about second chances, unexpected timelines, and finding love where you left it.
