June 2026 Movie Calendar: Toy Story 5, The Furious, and the Theatrical Lineup You Can't Miss

June 2026 Is About to Be the Hottest Movie Month of the Year

Forget streaming at home for a second — June 2026 is giving us every reason to buy a movie ticket and actually leave the house. Pixar is dropping the fifth installment of its beloved franchise, Lionsgate is bringing a brutal martial arts thriller to theaters, and Disney's got more tricks up its sleeve. Here's your complete guide to the theatrical releases that are about to dominate the summer.

Toy Story 5: Pixar's Most Ambitious Sequel Yet

Mark your calendars for June 19, 2026, because Toy Story 5 is finally hitting theaters. Directed by Academy Award winner Andrew Stanton (WALL•E, Finding Nemo) and co-directed by McKenna Harris (Ciao Alberto), this latest chapter pits Woody, Buzz, and the gang against an unlikely new force: a smart tablet named Lilypad, voiced by Greta Lee (The Bear).

The premise is surprisingly timely. Lilypad arrives with her own disruptive ideas about what's best for Bonnie — challenging the very concept of traditional playtime. Director Stanton confirmed that Woody sports a new bald spot in the film, symbolizing how worn out he's gotten from "not trying to take care of himself so much anymore — just doing whatever dirty work needed to be done to save a toy."

The voice cast is stacked, as expected. Tom Hanks returns as Woody, Tim Allen as Buzz Lightyear, and Joan Cusack as Jessie. But the biggest surprise? Alan Cumming (The Traitors, X2) joins as the voice of Evil Bullseye — marking the first time Bullseye has ever spoken in the franchise. And in a fun cameo, Bad Bunny voices a mysterious new character called Pizza with Sunglasses.

The film features an original score by Randy Newman, returning for his fifth Toy Story feature. And for anyone worried about AI creeping into animation — Stanton was very clear: "I have no interest in doing anything but working smarter, faster with another artist."

Other returning favorites include Tony Hale as Forky, Wallace Shawn as Rex, Annie Potts as Bo Peep, Kristen Schaal as Trixie, Conan O'Brien as Smarty Pants, and even Keanu Reeves as Duke Caboom.

The Furious: Lionsgate's Answer to John Wick

Earlier in the month, on June 12, 2026, Lionsgate is releasing The Furious — an R-rated martial arts action thriller that's already drawing comparisons to The Raid. Starring Joe Taslim (The Night Comes for Us, Fast X) and Miao Xie, the film promises intense fight choreography, high-octane stunts, and a revenge-driven plot that's got action fans buzzing.

If you loved the raw, bone-crunching combat of John Wick or the claustrophobic intensity of The Raid, The Furious looks like it's delivering exactly that energy. Lionsgate's been teasing exclusive posters and early screenings, and the early word is that this one doesn't hold back.

The Rest of June's Theatrical Slate

Beyond the two heavy hitters, here's what else is coming to theaters in June 2026:

• Cape Fear — A new adaptation of the classic thriller, bringing fresh tension to a familiar story
• Disney's additional June releases — Pixar isn't the only Disney property hitting screens this month

And if you missed Backrooms when it dropped on May 29 (yes, that's today), the A24 horror adaptation starring Chiwetel Ejiofor is still riding its opening weekend buzz — so you've got time to catch that one too.

Bottom Line

June 2026 is shaping up to be one of those months where you'll need to budget for multiple theater trips. Whether you're a Pixar loyalist who's been following Woody and Buzz since 1995, an action junkie craving martial arts violence, or just someone who loves a good night at the movies — there's something for everyone.

Toy Story 5 lands June 19, The Furious hits theaters June 12, and the rest of the month keeps the momentum going. Tickets are already on sale, so grab yours before your local showtime sells out.
