July 2026 brings a packed Hollywood calendar, including a live-action Moana remake on July 10, Minions & Monsters at the start of the month and Tom Holland's Spider-Man: Brand New Day at the end of July.
Analysts say family titles and character-driven stories have performed especially well this year, while superhero sequels remain closely watched after uneven post-pandemic returns for some franchise entries.
Studios are betting that a mix of event films and broad-appeal releases can sustain momentum after a strong first half at the global box office.
