Movies You Can Watch in PH Cinemas This July-Sept 2022

As cinemas in the Philippines continue to open its doors, we can’t help but look forward to what we can watch on the big screen these coming months! Here’s a list of films (as confirmed by local distributors) you can watch in Philippine cinemas from July to September 2022.

“Thor: Love and Thunder”

Directed by Taika Waititi, the fourth installment of the series follows the timeline after “Avengers: Endgame” where Thor Odinson (Chris Hemsworth) joins the company of the Guardians of the Galaxy. Thor later leaves the Guardians to — as Disney describes it — go on “a quest for inner peace.” This quest, however, is interrupted by Gorr the God Butcher who seeks the extinction of the gods. Thor enlists the help of King Valkyrie, Korg, and ex-girlfriend Jane Foster (who’s surprisingly the new wielder of the Mjolnir and the one who took over as the Goddess of Thunder) to stop the galactic killer.

Release date: July 8 (according to SM Cinema)

“DC League of Super-Pets“

The #DCSuperPets are ready to sit, stay, save the world.

Directed by Jared Stern, DC League of Super-Pets is a 3D computer-animated superhero comedy film based on the DC Comics superhero team “Legion of Super-Pets.” The film stars Krypto the Super-Dog (voiced by Dwayne Johnson) and Superman as inseparable best friends who fight crime side by side.

“Bullet Train”

Bullet Train is an action-comedy thriller about a trained assassin named Ladybug (Brad Pitt) who’s back on the job but wants to do things “peacefully.” His handler Maria Beetle (Sandra Bullock) assigns him a mission to retrieve a brief case inside a bullet train bound to Kyoto, but little did he know that he’s also on board with the world’s deadliest assassins — all with connected yet conflicting objectives.
