Saturday, September 5, 2026 – The Boxtrolls
Eggs, an orphan, lives with the Boxtrolls, a community of quirky, mischievous creatures who inhabit a cavern beneath the city of Cheesebridge.
When villainous Archibald Snatcher hatches a plan to get rid of the pretty, harmless beings, Eggs decides to go above ground, where he meets and befriends feisty Winnifred. Together, Eggs and Winnifred devise a daring plan to save the Boxtrolls from extermination.
Saturday, September 12, 2026 – Kubo And The Two Strings
Kubo and the Two Strings is an epic action-adventure set in a fantastical Japan from acclaimed animation studio LAIKA. Clever, kindhearted Kubo (voiced by Art Parkinson of Game of Thrones) ekes out a humble living, telling stories to the people of his seaside town including Hosato (George Takei), Hashi (Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa) and Kamekichi (Academy Award nominee Brenda Vaccaro). But his relatively quiet existence is shattered when he accidentally summons a spirit from his past, which storms down from the heavens to enforce an age-old vendetta.
Now on the run, Kubo joins forces with Monkey (Academy Award winner Charlize Theron) and Beetle (Academy Award winner Matthew McConaughey), and sets out on a thrilling quest to save his family and solve the mystery of his fallen father, the greatest samurai warrior the world has ever known. With the help of his shamisen – a magical musical instrument – Kubo must battle gods and monsters, including the vengeful Moon King (Academy Award nominee Ralph Fiennes) and the evil twin Sisters (Academy Award nominee Rooney Mara) to unlock the secret of his legacy, reunite his family and fulfill his heroic destiny.
Saturday, September 19, 2026 – The Lego Batman Movie
In the irreverent spirit of fun that made THE LEGO MOVIE a worldwide phenomenon, the self-described leading man of that ensemble – LEGO BATMAN — stars in his own big-screen adventure.
But there are big changes brewing in Gotham, and if he wants to save the city from The Joker’s hostile takeover, Batman may have to drop the lone vigilante thing, try to work with others and maybe, just maybe, learn to lighten up.
Saturday, September 26, 2026 – ParaNorman
From the visionary makers behind Coraline, ParaNorman returns to cinemas this Halloween – bigger, bolder, and spookier than ever! Celebrate the 13th anniversary of this award-winning animated favorite with an eye-popping re-release in stunningly remastered 3D and 2D formats. Get your gang together for this frightfully fun zombie romp—and catch an exclusive bonus: the brand-new animated short The Thrifting, featuring Anna Kendrick as Courtney and introducing a new character voiced by Finn Wolfhard.
When the quiet town of Blithe Hollow is overrun by zombies, only 11-year-old Norman Babcock—who can see and speak with ghosts—can stop the chaos. With a centuries-old witch’s curse, mysterious ghosts, wily witches, and clueless grown-ups, Norman’s paranormal powers are about to be tested like never before. With voice talents including Kodi Smit-McPhee, Anna Kendrick, Casey Affleck, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, and more, it’s a frightfully funny, magically thrilling adventure for the whole family in eye-popping stop-motion.
Saturday, October 3, 2026 – Coraline
While exploring her new home, a girl named Coraline discovers a secret door, behind which lies an alternate world that closely mirrors her own but, in many ways, is better.
She rejoices in her discovery until Other Mother and the rest of her parallel family try to keep her there forever. Coraline must use all her resources and bravery to make it back to her own family and life.
