February Movies 2026: New Films Coming to Theatres
01/20/2026 • 4 min read
While it's still cold outside, keep your fire burning for the communal, immersive magic of the movies. This February, the studios are dropping prestige adaptations, slick thrillers, big‑hearted crowd‑pleasers, and a few neon‑loud event screenings that feel like cultural check‑ins as much as entertainment.
Here are the new movies to see in theatres in February 2026.
Movies Opening the Week of Valentine's Day
Wuthering Heights
Release Date: Feb.13th
Formats: IMAX available
Sometimes a classic gets revived so boldly you remember why it haunted generations in the first place. That’s the pulse here: Emerald Fennell directing Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi in a version of Wuthering Heights that leans into the story’s fevered emotional weather instead of sanding it down. The cast is stacked with sharp supporting players like Hong Chau and Shazad Latif, each adding texture instead of noise.
What this really means is that the film aims for the heart and the gut, not the polite middle. Robbie and Elordi look primed to play lovers who burn too hot for their own survival.
Crime 101
Release Date: Feb.13th
Formats: D‑BOX seats, IMAX available
Picture the California sun hitting chrome as Chris Hemsworth pulls off jewel heists along the 101. That’s your way into Crime 101. The cast reads like a prestige‑TV wish list: Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Halle Berry, Barry Keoghan, Monica Barbaro. Bart Layton directs with the same sly intelligence he brought to American Animals.
Here’s the deal: the movie isn’t just about a heist. It’s about people trying to outrun the worst parts of themselves while the highway keeps looping them back. D‑BOX seats and IMAX will lean into the tension — not as gimmicks, but as amplifiers.
Goat
Release Date: Feb.13th
Formats: ScreenX, D‑BOX seats, RealD 3D available
Goat blends sports‑movie momentum with character‑driven comedy, following Will — a determined little goat with a chip on his shoulder and a dream the size of an arena.
The voice cast alone could headline their own festival: Caleb McLaughlin, Gabrielle Union, Stephen Curry, Nick Kroll, David Harbour, Jennifer Hudson, and more. The world‑building looks playful but not shallow, and the premium formats will flex during the roarball sequences.
Imagine Rocky for kids… but funnier, stranger, and set in an all‑animal sports league.
Cold Storage
Release Date: Feb.13th
Formats: ScreenX, D‑BOX seats, RealD 3D available
Take a self‑storage facility built over an old military site, add a parasitic fungus with a mean sense of timing, and throw in Liam Neeson, Joe Keery, and Georgina Campbell. That’s Cold Storage.
Let’s be honest: this is the kind of horror‑thriller that sneaks up on you. It isn’t franchised. It isn’t trying to be cute. It’s about containment, dread, and the weird comedy of watching people realize they’re in way over their heads.
Other Wide Release Movies
I Can Only Imagine 2
Release Date: Feb.20nd
Here’s a sequel that isn’t just a follow‑up — it’s a continuation of a lived‑in emotional arc. The story picks up with MercyMe’s Bart Millard grappling with fame, family, and the kind of internal storms you can’t outrun on tour buses or under stage lights.
The cast returns with the same grounded sincerity that made the first film work: John Michael Finley, Milo Ventimiglia, Sophie Skelton, Arielle Kebbel, Dennis Quaid, and Trace Adkins.
Think less “faith‑based movie” and more “human-sized drama that happens to sit inside a spiritual frame.”

Scream 7
Release Date: Feb.27th
Formats: D‑BOX seats and IMAX available
Ghostface is back, but the tone feels sharper this time. Neve Campbell returns, which immediately shifts the emotional center of gravity. The setup is simple enough — a new killer, a new town, a daughter in danger — but the heartbeat is old‑school Scream: self‑referential without being self‑parody.
IMAX and D‑BOX will exaggerate the cat‑and‑mouse suspense, turning small hallway chases into full‑body experiences. But the real draw is watching Campbell dive back into a role she’s aged into with authority.
Special Screenings Worth Your Time
Dracula
Release Date: Feb.6th
This adaptation leans Gothic and romantic rather than purely monstrous. Caleb Landry Jones plays Dracula with more yearning than rage, and Christoph Waltz steps in as the relentless priest hunting him down. If you want horror that feels mournful instead of loud, this will hit the spot.
Pretty in Pink — 40th Anniversary
Release Date: Feb.14th
Some movies age strangely. Pretty in Pink doesn’t — it just collects new layers. Seeing it in a theater brings back the punch of its music cues and the messy warmth of teenage longing. Forty years later, the film still has something to say about class, self-worth, and what it means to choose the life you want instead of the one you’re handed.
Twenty One Pilots: More Than We Ever Imagined
Release Date: Feb.26th
Part concert film, part creative diary, this screening works like a lens into the band’s evolution. You get the music, yes, but also the emotional scaffolding behind it — the stuff that doesn’t usually make it past PR filters.
If you’re looking for a reason to get out of the house, February hands you plenty. These movies weren’t built for half‑attention on a couch—they’re meant to be felt, shared, and talked about on the ride home. Big emotions, big scares, big laughs, and worlds that only snap into focus when you’re sitting in front of a giant screen with the sound turned up and the seats humming under you. So pick a night, grab a friend, and let a movie own your full attention for a couple of hours. Theaters are where these stories really come alive, and this month gives you more than enough reasons to show up.
