Spider-Man: Brand New Day

2026· 2h 25m

The biggest action spectacle in town — and it earns it

Peter Parker fights an invisible villain while a city that no longer remembers him watches him struggle alone — that personal edge sharpens every action beat. Spider-Man: Brand New Day delivers wall-to-wall sequences with stakes that actually matter, and the threat concept is genuinely unsettling rather than generic. Playing at 9 venues with 80 showings, this is the one you have zero excuse to miss.

High-octane superhero action with a villain concept that raises the threat level
Personal isolation stakes give the set pieces real weight
Widest availability in the city this week — catch it any day, any time

Showtimes & details

Project Hail Mary

Hard sci-fi with actual momentum — the survival thriller of the year

A man wakes alone on a spaceship light-years from Earth with no memory of his mission — and the clock is already ticking. Project Hail Mary is a problem-solving survival thriller that generates genuine tension through intelligence rather than explosions, and the payoff is earned. Five showings at one location this week, so plan ahead.

Isolation thriller with extinction-level stakes — nothing higher
Kinetic pacing driven by science and ingenuity, not filler
Limited to one cinema this week — check times and book early

Tuner

Heist thriller with a sharp hook — a piano tuner who cracks safes

Tuner commits fully to its premise: a man whose obsessive ear for precision turns out to be a natural gift for cracking safes, and the crime escalation that follows is tightly plotted. It is not a full action film — it sits closer to methodical thriller — but the heist mechanics are clean and the tension pays off. At 10 showings across 6 venues, it is easy to fit in.

Fresh heist angle with a tightly wound crime thriller structure
No wasted scenes — lean and purposeful plotting
Well distributed across the city, easy to catch this week
