IMDb’s Ireland release calendar already lists over a dozen titles, from the return of Practical Magic to the arrival of Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu.

What films are releasing next week?

What are the top 10 new releases?

Based on aggregated data from IMDb, Light House Cinema, ODEON, and Film Ireland, these ten titles stand out as the most notable upcoming releases for Irish audiences:

1. The Odyssey — 17 July 2026 (Light House Cinema)
2. Practical Magic 2 — 11 September 2026 (IMDb)
3. Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu — 22 May 2026 (IMDb)
4. Colony — 28 August 2026 (IMDb)
5. One Night Only — 28 August 2026 (ODEON)
6. The Dog Stars — 28 August 2026 (ODEON)
7. De Gaulle: Resistance — 28 August 2026 (ODEON)
8. Project Hail Mary — 20 March 2026 (IMDb)
9. Ready or Not 2: Here I Come — 27 March 2026 (IMDb)
10. The Fisherman — date TBD (Light House Cinema)

The catch: the top 10 list reveals a gap — no mid-summer blockbuster outside Light House’s curated slate, meaning June and early July remain thin for mainstream releases.

What movies are coming out in September?

Early September

The only confirmed early‑September date from our sources is 11 September 2026, when Practical Magic 2, Runner, Don’t Move, The Uprising, and Daniel all debut on IMDb’s Ireland calendar (IMDb (film database)).

Mid-September

No mid‑September releases surfaced across the four primary sources we reviewed.

Late September

Film Ireland (Irish film trade site) notes an Irish title for 2 September 2026, but the specific film has not been announced.

The pattern: September is front‑loaded. The 11th offers a full slate of varied genres, while the rest of the month remains sparse — possibly filling in as studios confirm dates.

Timeline signal

The picture is clearer for major franchise entries and local productions, but gaps remain for mid‑tier international titles and Indian cinema releases in Ireland.

For Irish moviegoers, the takeaway is practical: use the early‑confirmed dates to plan ahead, and keep an eye on cinema websites for last‑minute additions. With a strong pipeline from February through September 2026, the only real risk is missing a limited run at a venue like Light House. Bottom line: the 2026 calendar rewards those who check both aggregator lists and local cinema pages, because no single source covers the full picture. For fans of Hollywood blockbusters, the IMDb and ODEON lists are your first stop; for arthouse and Irish cinema, Light House and Film Ireland are indispensable.
