June 18, 2026
From nostalgic kidpics to grim fairytales and horror films that blur genres, this week’s new releases cover all of your moviegoing bases. Whatever you’re in the mood to see at the movies this weekend, you’ve got options.
Toy Story 5 leads a slate that also includes the revisionist classic The Death of Robin Hood and two LGBTQ+-focused films coming out during Pride Month, Girls Like Girls and Leviticus. Worlds apart in tone and scope — while Girls Like Girls is a romantic comedy coming-of-age story, Leviticus is a visceral horror film about self-discovery — they make for one of the more varied weekends we’ve seen so far this summer.
Whatever you choose to see, there’s something out there for everyone. Have a great time at the theater!
The OG Is Back & Better Than Ever (PG)
(95% RT) Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Jessie, and their toy friends return to take on another adventure in Toy Story 5. This time, the toys grapple with a problem facing many families today: technology. When Lilypad, a tablet programmed with her own thoughts on what deserves Bonnie’s attention, arrives, toys and screens compete to keep up in a world vastly different from when they first “woke up.”
Toy Story 5 won’t re-tread old territory, though. By tackling this new challenge, Toy Story 5’s story examines how playtime may change, but many of its core elements will always remain the same. Early critics agree, saying the latest Pixar feature hits the nostalgia factor while delivering a message that resonates with families today – perfect for Father’s Day.

A24’s Dark Robin Hood (R)
(72% RT) The Death of Robin Hood is not your typical adventure story about the legendary outlaw. This film portrays an elderly Robin Hood coming to terms with the repercussions of his years spent killing, looting, and loving. Following a severe injury, Robin is rescued by a stranger who may provide him with salvation before his inevitable end.
Unlike classic Robin Hood tales, this movie is less about swords flashing and more about life flashing before your eyes. The Death of Robin Hood dives into themes of death and atonement. While the movie has been described as ambitious and intriguing, reviewers also found it to be a fairly morose and cold film that may test the patience of some.
It’s playing at the following theaters:
Young Love Can Hurt (R)
(86% RT) This is the first of two LGBTQ+ films hitting theatres this week during Pride Month. Girls Like Girls stars newcomer Coley, playing the lead role as she spends the summer figuring out friendship, identity, and her first love. Written and directed by Hayley Kiyoko from her bestselling novel of the same name (who also happens to sing the title’s addictive song), Girls Like Girls is described as “a genuine depiction of what every young person faces: first moments of clarity when who you are isn’t always certain.”
Though summer serves as the perfect backdrop for this coming-of-age film, what truly warms the heart are these young people’s relationships with one another. The movie doesn’t beat audiences over the head with a message; rather, it lets its many great characters shine and hits you in the feels when it needs to.

Young Love Can Kill (R)
(92% RT) Leviticus is the second queer movie to premiere this week during Pride Month. Described as a “psychological horror with heart,” Leviticus tells the story of two teen boys who are pursued by a supernatural force that manifests itself as whoever they want most in that moment. The young pair must battle the monster while facing their own internal fears.
Leviticus tells its story through an inventive horror premise. The film has received acclaim for expertly mixing jump scares with sentiment. According to reviewers, Leviticus uses horror elements to share a brutal truth about facing one’s fears in a way that leaves viewers unsettled.

Still In Theaters
Backrooms (R)
The viral internet story makes it to the big screen as the main characters roam a seemingly endless maze of hallways and rooms; the soon-to-be cult classic.
Disclosure Day (PG-13)
Spielberg’s return to extraterrestrials, but without the cuteness. What’s out there? What aren’t we being told? Some say it’s his best work in 25 years.
Masters of the Universe (PG-13)
He-Man, Skeletor, and the world of Eternia are back in a well-reviewed fantasy adventure based on the 80s franchise.
Obsession (R)
Tensions boil over when a man crosses too many lines with his new girlfriend in this blockbuster horror film.
Scary Movie (R)
Yep. It’s back. Slicing up telling body parts with jump scares at the expense of just about every horror movie and pop culture phenomenon of the last decade.
Star Wars: The Mandalorian & Grogu (PG-13)
Everyone’s favorite dynamic duo from the hit Disney+ series are taking their bigger-than-life personalities to the big screen.
