From Jurassic World architect and director Colin Trevorrow, Dominion takes place four years after Isla Nublar has been destroyed. Dinosaurs now live—and hunt—alongside humans all over the world.

As Buzz tries to find a way back home through space and time, he’s joined by a group of ambitious recruits and his charming robot companion cat, Sox.
Complicating matters and threatening the mission is the arrival of Zurg, an imposing presence with an army of ruthless robots and a mysterious agenda.

Ngayon Kaya
Release date: June 22
Ngayon Kaya which stars Janine Gutierrez and Paulo Avelino tells the story of two good friends who are caught between a possible romance.

The unlikely hero must channel her newfound powers to fight bizarre and bewildering dangers from the multiverse as the fate of the world hangs in the balance.
Minions: The Rise of Gru

Long before he becomes the master of evil, Gru hatches a plan to take over the world from his basement.
