Movies Showing This Weekend in Pakistan (July 31 – August 2, 2026)

One movie is showing this weekend in Pakistan, and it is the one everyone has been waiting for. Spider-Man: Brand New Day opens today with 150 showtimes across 9 cinemas in Lahore, Karachi, and Islamabad — and as of Friday morning, it is the only film with published weekend showtimes anywhere in the country. Not the top film. The only film.

Some of that is the release itself, and some of it is timing. On Monday's weekly chart, Spider-Man had these same 150 advance shows four days before release — cinemas cleared the decks early. What has not happened yet is everything else: Nueplex, Cinegold, and Universal have no weekend listings, and holdovers like The Odyssey and Carry On Jatta 4 have not been re-listed. Last Friday the board sat at 152 showtimes and grew through the day. This one will too — but Spider-Man will still be on top when it does.

Movies Showing in Lahore This Weekend

Lahore is Spider-Man country this weekend: 92 showtimes across 6 cinemas, the most of any city by a wide margin.

CUE Cinemas has 48 shows — a third of the entire national total at one cinema. That is the most weekend shows CUE has given any film this year, and it is the right call: a web-slinging blockbuster in Dolby Atmos is exactly what that room is for.

Cinepax Packages Mall has 15 shows, Cinestar Township and Cinestar Xinhua Mall have 9 each, Cinepax Amanah Mall has 8, and Cinestar DHA Raya Club has 3.

Lahore cinema showtimes this weekend:

No Cinegold Lahore or Universal Emporium listings yet. When they post, expect holdovers to fill back in alongside more Spider-Man shows — check the Lahore weekend page through the day.

Movies Showing in Karachi This Weekend

Karachi has 28 weekend showtimes so far, all Spider-Man, all at Cinepax Ocean Mall. That makes Ocean Mall the second-busiest cinema in the country this weekend — behind only CUE.

The obvious gap: Nueplex DHA, Nueplex Askari IV, and Cinegold Karachi have not published weekend schedules. Askari IV has been Karachi's busiest cinema on recent weekly charts, and all three will run Spider-Man heavily. If Ocean Mall's times do not work for you, hold off booking until the rest of the city posts — the Karachi weekend page will have them first.

Movies Showing in Islamabad This Weekend

Islamabad has 30 Spider-Man showtimes this weekend across 2 cinemas, both Cinepax.

Cinepax Jinnah Park has 21 shows — the most flexibility in the capital for picking your slot. Cinepax World Trade Center adds 9.

Islamabad cinema showtimes this weekend:

Cinegold Islamabad has no weekend listings yet. Last weekend it carried the capital's family titles — Moana and Minions & Monsters — so families should watch the Islamabad weekend page for its schedule.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day — the Only Movie Showing This Weekend

150 showtimes, 9 cinemas, 3 cities. Science Fiction/Action/Adventure, 145 minutes, releasing today, July 31. Every single show is 2D in English — no 3D screenings and no Urdu dub in the current data, which is unusual for a release this size and may change once more chains publish.

The distribution tells you how the chains are betting. CUE Cinemas went all in with 48 shows. Cinepax spread 81 shows across five locations in three cities — Ocean Mall (28), Jinnah Park (21), Packages Mall (15), World Trade Center (9), and Amanah Mall (8). Cinestar committed 21 across Township (9), Xinhua Mall (9), and DHA Raya Club (3).

My advice from Monday stands: book now, not at the counter. A Spider-Man opening weekend sells out its evening shows even with this much inventory — that is how these releases go every time. If you cannot get a Friday or Saturday evening seat, Sunday matinees are the quiet workaround, and at 145 minutes you want a good seat more than a convenient time.

Full Weekend Chart

That is the whole chart as of Friday morning — a one-film weekend, for now. For context, last Friday's guide opened with 8 movies and 152 showtimes, and the board kept growing through the day as Cinepax and Nueplex posted. The same will happen here. What will not change is the top spot.

Best Movies to Watch This Weekend in Pakistan

A one-movie board makes the "what to watch" question easy, but the "where and when" still matters:

• For the best screen and sound in Lahore: CUE Cinemas. 48 showtimes means real choice of slot, and Dolby Atmos earns its ticket price on a film like this.
• For Karachi: Cinepax Ocean Mall is the only game in town right now with 28 shows. If you would rather watch at Nueplex or Cinegold, wait for their schedules — they will post before evening.
• For Islamabad: Cinepax Jinnah Park, 21 shows. Easiest booking flexibility in the capital.
• For families: Spider-Man at 145 minutes works for older kids; there is no dedicated family title listed yet. Moana and Minions & Monsters carried the family slots last weekend and should return once Cinegold publishes.
• For Punjabi or Urdu cinema: nothing posted yet this weekend. Carry On Jatta 4 has held weekend screens for over a month, so do not count it out — check Derooj later today.

How to Book Cinema Tickets in Pakistan

CUE Cinemas — book at cuecinemas.com, still the best cinema website in Pakistan. With 48 Spider-Man shows, CUE has the most inventory in the country, but Friday and Saturday evening slots will go first.

Cinepax (Ocean Mall, Jinnah Park, Packages Mall, World Trade Center, Amanah Mall) — Bookme.pk is the smoothest way to book any of the five Cinepax locations showing Spider-Man this weekend.

Cinestar — the app works better than the website (cinestar.com.pk). Township and Xinhua have 9 shows each; DHA Raya Club has just 3, so book those early if that is your side of town.

Cinegold, Nueplex, Universal — no weekend listings yet at cinegold.pk, nueplex.com, or Universal Emporium. When their schedules land, they will show on Derooj first.

Nine cinemas on the board this Friday morning, one enormous movie, and more schedules coming through the day. The full picture — every cinema, every showtime, all three cities — is on Derooj.
