What movies will be released in cinemas in July 2024 in the U.S.?

Inside Out 2 is the talk of the cinema world at the moment after becoming just the 54th film in history to surpass the $1 billion mark at the box office. The Pixar animated movie achieved the feat in just over two weeks after its release on 14 June.

Could any others coming out July follow suit? It’s highly unlikely, although there are high hopes for three box office pretenders - Despicable Me 4, Twisters and Deadpool & Wolverine - that are hitting theatres this month.

Without giving too much away, here’s the lowdown on the biggest new releases to look out for in July.
