Movies Showing This Weekend in Pakistan (August 14–16, 2026)

Six movies, 164 showtimes, 6 cinemas across Pakistan this weekend — and for the first time in weeks, there are new releases to talk about. The End of Oak Street and Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie both open Friday, August 14, though only in Karachi. Spider-Man: Brand New Day is still the headline act nationally with 124 showtimes in its third weekend.

The overall footprint has shrunk from 11 cinemas last weekend to 6, with Cinepax locations absent from this weekend's listings. But the lineup itself has tripled from 2 movies to 6, and Karachi is quietly the most interesting city in the country right now — all six titles are playing there.

Movies Showing in Lahore This Weekend

Lahore has 2 movies across 2 cinemas and 72 showtimes this weekend.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is at CUE Cinemas with 40 showtimes and Cinegold Lahore with 15. It is playing in 2D, with English and Urdu versions in the mix.

The Odyssey remains a CUE exclusive in Lahore — 17 showtimes, down from 27 last weekend. Week five for this one, and the slide is visible. If you have been meaning to catch it on a big screen, this is the weekend to stop putting it off.

Lahore cinema showtimes this weekend:

CUE is carrying 57 of Lahore's 72 showtimes and is the only cinema in the city with two movies. Cinegold Lahore has 15 Spider-Man slots — fewer options, so book ahead if that is your side of town.

Movies Showing in Karachi This Weekend

Karachi has the country's full lineup this weekend: all 6 movies, 3 cinemas, 80 showtimes. Nothing playing anywhere in Pakistan is missing from Karachi.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day leads with 57 showtimes split across Cinegold Karachi (24), Nueplex DHA (21), and Nueplex Askari IV (12).

The two new releases are both Nueplex exclusives. The End of Oak Street opens with 8 showtimes — 5 at Nueplex DHA, 3 at Nueplex Askari IV — in English and Urdu. Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie opens with 4 showtimes across the same two locations.

Hellcat, a 91-minute thriller, has 6 showtimes at the two Nueplex locations. The Odyssey is down to 4 showtimes in Karachi. And Mulu Nakru, an Urdu horror-drama, has a single showtime at Nueplex Askari IV — blink and you will miss it.

Karachi cinema showtimes this weekend:

Nueplex Askari IV is the only cinema in Pakistan showing all six movies this weekend. Nueplex DHA has the most total showtimes in the city with 36. Cinegold Karachi is a single-title cinema this weekend — 24 Spider-Man slots and nothing else.

Movies Showing in Islamabad This Weekend

Islamabad has one movie this weekend. Spider-Man: Brand New Day is at Cinegold Islamabad with 12 showtimes.

That is the entire Islamabad lineup: one film, one cinema, 12 slots across three days. With demand concentrated on so few showtimes, Friday and Saturday evening seats will go quickly. If you have a preferred time, book by Thursday night. Neither of the new Karachi releases has reached the capital yet — if The End of Oak Street performs, it could expand next week.

Top 5 Movies This Weekend

Spider-Man: Brand New Day

Rank 1. 124 showtimes. 6 cinemas. All three cities. 2D. English and Urdu.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day opened July 31 and is still on every active screen in the country in weekend three. 124 showtimes is down from 344 last weekend, but that drop tracks the smaller cinema pool more than fading demand — it remains the only film playing in Lahore, Karachi, and Islamabad simultaneously. The film carries a 7.9 rating and runs 145 minutes.

The Urdu dubbed version keeps it accessible for family groups. CUE Cinemas in Lahore has the biggest single block at 40 showtimes; Cinegold Karachi leads Karachi with 24.

Third weekend means the crowds have thinned. This is the easiest weekend yet to walk in and get good seats, even on Saturday evening.

The Odyssey

Rank 2. 21 showtimes. 3 cinemas. Lahore and Karachi.

The Odyssey is in week five with 21 showtimes: 17 at CUE Cinemas in Lahore, 3 at Nueplex DHA, and 1 at Nueplex Askari IV. 2D English only, no Urdu dub. It holds an 8.0 rating — the highest of anything playing this weekend — and runs 173 minutes.

This is a last-call situation. A film at 21 showtimes in week five does not usually see week six. If you want the nearly-three-hour epic on a proper screen with proper sound, CUE in Lahore is the place, and this weekend is the time.

The End of Oak Street

Rank 3. 8 showtimes. 2 cinemas. Karachi only. New release.

The End of Oak Street opens Friday, August 14 at Nueplex DHA (5 showtimes) and Nueplex Askari IV (3 showtimes). Sci-fi mystery thriller, 100 minutes, 7.6 rating, available in English and Urdu.

A 100-minute runtime and a dual-language release is a distributor hedging its bets — short enough to slot between bigger films, dubbed to widen the audience. Eight showtimes is a cautious opening. If Karachi shows up for it this weekend, expect Lahore and Islamabad screens next Friday.

Hellcat

Rank 4. 6 showtimes. 2 cinemas. Karachi only.

Hellcat is a 91-minute thriller at Nueplex DHA (4 showtimes) and Nueplex Askari IV (2 showtimes). 2D, English, 7.0 rating.

Lean and short — the kind of film you can fit into an evening without planning your whole day around it. With only 6 slots across the weekend, check the schedule before you leave the house.

Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie

Rank 5. 4 showtimes. 2 cinemas. Karachi only. New release.

Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie opens Friday at Nueplex DHA (3 showtimes) and Nueplex Askari IV (1 showtime). 88 minutes, animated, and the only dedicated family movie showing this weekend in Pakistan.

Four showtimes is not a lot for a kids' film on opening weekend, so treat each slot as booked-out-by-Saturday and plan accordingly. If you have children in the Paw Patrol demographic, you already know you are going.

Full Weekend Chart

Total: 164 showtimes across 6 cinemas in 3 cities this weekend.

Best Movies to Watch This Weekend in Pakistan

For families: Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie if you are in Karachi — it is the only proper kids' movie in the country this weekend, and with just 4 showtimes at Nueplex, book the moment you decide. Everywhere else, Spider-Man: Brand New Day with the Urdu dub is the family fallback.

For action and superhero fans: Spider-Man remains the obvious pick. 124 showtimes, all three cities, third weekend means emptier halls and better seats than the opening rush.

For thriller fans: Two options in Karachi. The End of Oak Street is the new sci-fi mystery with the stronger 7.6 rating; Hellcat is the tighter 91-minute cut. Both are Nueplex exclusives — you could realistically do both in one day at Nueplex DHA.

For Urdu cinema: Mulu Nakru is the Urdu-language horror-drama, but it has exactly one showtime at Nueplex Askari IV all weekend. Miss it and it may be gone. The End of Oak Street and Spider-Man also run Urdu dubbed versions.

For the cinematic experience: The Odyssey at CUE Cinemas in Lahore. Highest-rated film of the weekend at 8.0, 173 minutes built for a big screen, and CUE has the best sound in Lahore. Week five — this is realistically your last shot.

Date night: Spider-Man is the safe, available-everywhere option. In Lahore, The Odyssey at CUE makes for a longer, more committed evening. In Karachi, The End of Oak Street is the fresh pick nobody has spoiled yet.

How to Book Cinema Tickets in Pakistan

CUE Cinemas (Lahore): Book at cuecinemas.com. Still the best booking interface of any chain in Pakistan — clear seat map, fast checkout.

Nueplex (DHA and Askari IV, Karachi): Book through nueplex.com. One site covers both Karachi locations, which matters this weekend since Nueplex is carrying four exclusives.

Cinegold (Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad): Counter booking or through their own platform. In Islamabad, where Cinegold is the only active cinema this weekend, going early or booking ahead is worth the effort.

Cinepax, Cinestar, and Universal Cinemas are not in this weekend's active listings. Cinepax normally books through Bookme.pk — worth checking there directly in case listings return mid-weekend.

Demand this weekend concentrates in two places: Spider-Man evening slots in Islamabad (only 12 all weekend) and the new releases in Karachi (12 combined showtimes between The End of Oak Street and Paw Patrol). Everything else has room.
