It’s blockbuster season this June, with superheroes, aliens, and supernatural creatures invading theaters. Meanwhile, TV favorites are returning with new seasons that take viewers from chaotic kitchens to fantastical worlds filled with dragons and flying bison. Here are our top screen picks for June:
1. Backrooms
Based on the director’s web series, itself inspired by a viral online horror story, Backrooms follows characters trapped in another dimension made up of endless, terrifying rooms inhabited by hostile entities. Starring Oscar nominees Chiwetel Ejiofor and Renate Reinsve, the film is directed by Kane Parsons, who was just 19 years old during production.
In theaters June 3.
2. Scary Movie
Thirteen years after the last Scary Movie, the horror-comedy franchise returns with original stars Anna Faris and Regina Hall alongside the Wayans brothers. Billed as a spiritual sequel to the first two films, the latest installment follows a group of friends who reunite to face a killer from their past. With more than a decade’s worth of horror films to skewer, it takes aim at everything from legacy sequels like Scream and Halloween to recent favorites such as Sinners, The Substance, Ma, and Weapons.
In theaters June 10.
3. Disclosure Day
Few filmmakers are as closely associated with alien stories as Steven Spielberg. After directing classics like E.T., Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and War of the Worlds, he returns to familiar extraterrestrial territory with Disclosure Day, an epic science-fiction drama centered on government conspiracies, whistleblowers, and the possibility that extraterrestrials already exist among us. Emily Blunt, Josh O’Connor, Colman Domingo, and Colin Firth star.
In theaters June 10.
4. Supergirl
The second film in the rebooted DC Universe, Supergirl follows Superman’s cousin Kara (Milly Alcock) as she travels the galaxy with her super-dog Krypto, both introduced in 2025’s Superman. Along the way, she crosses paths with a young girl seeking revenge for her father’s murder. Directed by Craig Gillespie (Cruella), the film is based on the acclaimed comic series Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.
In theaters June 24.
5. The Bear Season 5
Yes, chef! The Emmy Award-winning series about a restaurant crew struggling to stay afloat returns for its fifth and final season. The story picks up after Carmy (Jeremy Allen White) leaves the food industry, placing the restaurant in the capable but overworked hands of Sydney (Ayo Edebiri) and Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach). As financial pressures continue to mount, the team remains determined to earn that coveted Michelin star. A surprise standalone prequel episode dropped in May, setting the stage for the final batch of episodes.
Streaming on Disney Plus June 25.
