What films are releasing next week?

Next week’s major studio openings

• Dhamaal 4 – 10 July 2026 (Ireland) – confirmed by Irish Film Classification Office (Ireland’s official ratings body)
• Voice of Karma – 10 July 2026 (India) – listed on District (Hindi film tracker)
• Boys Never Compromise – 10 July 2026 (India) – District

Independent and limited releases next week

• Uttejana: The Fire – 10 July 2026 (India) – District
• Moana (2026) – 10 July 2026 (India) – IMDb India calendar

The pattern: this week is dominated by Hindi-language releases, with Dhamaal 4 the only title with a confirmed Irish cinema date. For Dublin audiences, the Light House Cinema and Odeon listings will likely update mid-week.

What movies are coming out in September 2026?

September 2026 wide releases

• Resident Evil (2026) – 18 September 2026 – IMDb India calendar
• Additional genre films expected from major studios (dates TBC)

September 2026 festival and limited releases

• Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) and Venice Film Festival often feature September premieres — no 2026 lineups announced yet
• Irish film festivals may schedule special screenings; IFTN (Irish film industry news) tracks monthly releases

The catch: September is a transitional month — summer blockbusters fade and awards season begins. Resident Evil is the only confirmed September date so far, but more will be announced through late summer.

• Horror/Thriller: Resident Evil (2026), Boys Never Compromise
• Family: Moana (2026), Minions & Monsters

What are the upcoming releases in Irish cinemas?

New cinema releases Ireland 2026

• Alpha – released 3 July 2026 – Irish Film Classification Office
• Nagabandham – The Secret Treasure – released 3 July 2026 – IFCO
• Dhamaal 4 – 10 July 2026 – IFCO
• Moana (2026) – expected in Irish cinemas from mid-July (IMDb India calendar suggests 10 Jul, but Irish date TBC)

Irish film festivals and special screenings

• Light House Cinema Dublin regularly updates its coming-soon list; their programming team notes that July 2026 includes a focus on Indian cinema releases
• IFTN (Irish film industry news) publishes monthly roundups – the March 2026 edition confirms this is a recurring practice
• Irish-produced films tracked by Film Ireland include several titles awaiting premiere dates

Why this matters: Irish cinemas are seeing a rare concentration of Hindi releases in July 2026, a trend that didn’t exist in previous years. For Dublin audiences, this means more choice at the box office, but also a need to check local listings as dates vary between Odeon and Light House.
