Here’s a suggestion: Go to the cinema! The biggest movies are in the lineup for July and you’ll want to grab tickets for these most anticipated movies for 2023.

Insidious: The Red Door
Visit The Further again in this fifth installment of the Insidious series. This movie picks up 10 years after Chapter 2 as a now divorced Josh struggles to understand blocks in his memory and repair his relationship with his son Dalton. Catch the Lambert family as they try to reconnect and go down a dark path that forces them to confront literal ghosts of their past that also represent something on a deeper and, in some cases, on a more relatable level than previous installments have explored.

Fun fact: Patrick Wilson who plays Josh Lambert in the movie made his directorial debut through this film. If you have been a fan of this horror movie icon who’s starred in Insidious and The Conjuring, you’ll for sure want to catch this in the theaters.

Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One
Calling all action film enthusiasts! Hollywood heartthrob Tom Cruise is back again in another Mission: Impossible movie and this time he is facing the most complex threat yet in the shape of an AI weapon known only as the Entity. With Ethan Hunt and his assorted accomplices racing to get their hands on the key to the weapon before any of the more malicious characters who are also on their tail, you just know it’s going to be a wild ride! From daring heists to intense chase scenes, the film guarantees the iconic Mission: Impossible dose of excitement, often set in breathtaking locations around the world.

Oppenheimer
This adaptation tells the story of J. Robert Oppenheimer, an American scientist known for his pivotal role in developing the atomic bomb during World War II. Based on the book American Prometheus by Martin Sherwin and Kai Bird, it explores Oppenheimer's leadership of The Manhattan Project.

Directed by the famous Christopher Nolan with an amazing cast lineup such as Cillian Murphy, Matt Damon, and Robert Downey Jr., cinephiles will be flooding their nearest cinema to get tickets for this film. You should too!

Barbie
The girls are going to love this one! No matter how old you are, everyone knows who Barbie is. This is the first live-action Barbie film after many computer-animated direct-to-video and streaming television films. In the movie, Barbie suffers a crisis that leads her to question her world and her existence. The hype for this movie has been clear as there are many brands releasing Barbie related merch and they are selling out fast. The city has been painted pink in anticipation of this movie! So grab your girlfriends, dress in your best Barbie-inspired outfits, and watch Margot Robbie play as the famous doll.
