Universal will be releasing an incredible 23 films between now and the end of the year – and here’s the full list of what’s coming to the UK, when. If you’re wondering whether big studios will be supporting cinemas when they reopen their doors next month (in theory), then you need look no further than Universal Pictures in the UK. The studio has confirmed a pretty staggering slate of movies, with an output far in excess of any of its competition. In July alone, Universal has seven different films lined up for cinema release. To put that into context, Disney has 11 for the entire year. Universal will have that number beaten by mid-August. Here’s the full list as it stands at the moment. Obviously dates are subject to being shuffled around, and the slate is very much on the assumption that some normality resumes. In theory, there’s a lot to look forward to here… 4th June: LAND 9th June: NOBODY 18th June: IN THE EARTH 25th June: FREAKY 2nd July: VOYAGERS 8th July: FAST & FURIOUS 9 16th July: THE CROODS 2: A NEW AGE 16th July: THE FOREVER PURGE 29th July: THE SPARKS BROTHERS 30th July: OLD 30th July: SPIRIT UNTAMED 18th August: PEOPLE JUST DO NOTHING: BIG IN JAPAN 27th August: CANDYMAN September (exact date to be confirmed): BLUE BAYOU 10th September: RESPECT 30th September: NO TIME TO DIE 8th October: THE ADDAMS FAMILY 2 15th October: HALLOWEEN KILLS 22nd October: BOSS BABY 2: FAMILY BUSINESS 22nd October: DEAR EVAN HANSEN 29th October: LAST NIGHT IN SOHO 12th November: BELFAST 26th November: HOUSE OF GUCCI More on all of these as we hear it… — Thank you for visiting!
