Movies Showing This Weekend in Pakistan (August 7–9, 2026)

This is a lean weekend for cinema in Pakistan. Two movies, 374 showtimes, 11 cinemas — and one title is doing almost all of the work. Spider-Man: Brand New Day is in its second weekend with 344 showtimes across every major cinema chain in the country. The Odyssey is in week four with 30 showtimes at just two locations. If you are going to a cinema in Pakistan this weekend, you are almost certainly watching Spider-Man.

No new releases are opening this weekend. August weekends tend to go quiet before the major Eid and Q4 releases pick up the pace. The lineup is thin, but the dominant film has earned its screen count.

Movies Showing in Lahore This Weekend

Lahore has 2 movies across 4 cinemas and 145 showtimes this weekend.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is running at all four Lahore locations. Cinepax Packages Mall leads the city with 48 showtimes. CUE Cinemas has 41 showtimes for Spider-Man plus an additional 27 showtimes for The Odyssey, making it the only Lahore cinema showing both films. Cinepax Amanah Mall has 20 showtimes and Cinegold Lahore has 9. Spider-Man is available in 2D and 3D, with an Urdu dubbed version in the mix.

The Odyssey is Lahore-exclusive to CUE Cinemas this weekend — 27 showtimes, one location. If you want The Odyssey in Lahore, CUE is your only option.

Lahore cinema showtimes this weekend:

CUE is the only Lahore cinema with both movies. Cinepax Packages Mall has the highest Spider-Man volume and your best shot at a last-minute seat. Cinegold Lahore has the fewest slots, so book ahead if that is your preferred cinema.

Movies Showing in Karachi This Weekend

Karachi leads the country this weekend with 176 showtimes across 4 cinemas — more than Lahore and Islamabad combined.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is at all four Karachi cinemas. Nueplex Askari IV has 94 showtimes for Spider-Man alone, the highest single-cinema count in the country this weekend. Nueplex DHA has 34, Cinegold Karachi has 24, and Cinepax Ocean Mall has 21.

The Odyssey is barely holding on in Karachi: 3 showtimes at Nueplex Askari IV. That is one screen, a handful of daily slots. If you want The Odyssey in Karachi, book early and check availability first.

Karachi cinema showtimes this weekend:

Nueplex Askari IV is the dominant cinema in Karachi this weekend: 97 total showtimes, the only location with both films, and the most scheduling flexibility for any start time. If you are undecided on timing, that is where to look.

Islamabad has one movie this weekend. Spider-Man: Brand New Day is showing at 3 cinemas with 53 total showtimes.

Cinepax Jinnah Park leads with 22 showtimes. Cinepax World Trade Center has 16 and Cinegold Islamabad has 15.

The Odyssey has not made it to any Islamabad cinema this weekend. If you are in the capital, Spider-Man is your only option. With one movie splitting three cinemas, the popular Friday and Saturday evening slots will go faster than usual — book in advance if you have a preferred showtime.

Islamabad cinema showtimes this weekend:

Cinepax Jinnah Park has the most showtimes. Pick your cinema based on location — all three are running the same film at comparable schedules.

Top Movies This Weekend

Spider-Man: Brand New Day

Rank 1. 344 showtimes. 11 cinemas. Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad. 2D and 3D. English and Urdu.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day opened on July 31 and is now in its second weekend with a near-identical screen count. 11 cinemas is a full national release, and the 344 showtimes tell you the distributors expected strong holds. The film carries an 8.0 rating, runs 145 minutes, and sits squarely in the Action/Adventure/Sci-Fi space.

The Urdu dubbed version makes it accessible to wider audiences. I do not have a per-cinema breakdown on which locations are running which dub, so check showtimes on Derooj or call ahead if the language version matters to you.

3D is available at select cinemas this weekend. For Spider-Man specifically, 3D tends to be worth the upgrade — the action sequences and visual effects are designed for it. If you have access to a 3D screen, that is the version to see.

Friday and Saturday evening shows will book fast. This is the only major movie playing nationwide this weekend, which concentrates demand onto a smaller number of prime-time slots. A Saturday afternoon show is your best bet if you have not booked yet and want decent seat selection.

The Odyssey

Rank 2. 30 showtimes. 2 cinemas. Lahore and Karachi only.

The Odyssey is in week four and winding down. 30 total showtimes across CUE Cinemas in Lahore (27 showtimes) and Nueplex Askari IV in Karachi (3 showtimes). 2D English only — no Urdu dub is available.

The film carries a 7.9 rating and runs 173 minutes, nearly three hours. That runtime is part of why its screen count has shrunk: at 173 minutes, each show takes a larger block of the schedule. The Adventure/Action/Fantasy genre means it is built for a big screen and good audio.

CUE Cinemas in Lahore is where you want to see this. 27 showtimes gives you real scheduling flexibility, and CUE has the best sound setup in Lahore. At this stage of its run, this weekend or next could be the last chance. If you have been putting it off, now is the time.

Nueplex Askari IV in Karachi has just 3 showtimes — pick your slot the moment you know you want to go.

Best Movies to Watch This Weekend in Pakistan

For families: Spider-Man: Brand New Day is your pick this weekend. It is the only family-friendly movie with a wide release across all three cities. A Saturday afternoon show at any Cinepax or Cinegold location gives you the best chance of a calm, uncrowded hall. Book early — with no competition, evening shows will fill up.

For action and superhero fans: Spider-Man, no competition this weekend. The 8.0 rating, 3D availability, and 344 showtimes make it the easy recommendation. It is playing in every city and at every major chain.

For the cinematic experience: The Odyssey at CUE Cinemas in Lahore. CUE has the best audio in the city and The Odyssey, at 173 minutes, is built for a large screen with good sound. If you have already seen Spider-Man or want something that is not a superhero film, this is the right call. It is in its last weeks — do not wait.

For Urdu speakers: Spider-Man is the only movie with a Urdu dub option this weekend. The Odyssey is English only across all showtimes.

For Islamabad audiences: Spider-Man is your only option this weekend at 3 cinemas and 53 showtimes. Pick your cinema by location. Cinepax Jinnah Park has the most flexibility in scheduling.

Date night: Both work. Spider-Man is the crowd-pleaser and easier to talk about after. The Odyssey, if you are in Lahore, gives you a longer, more immersive evening at a cinema with better audio than most.
