Top 5 Movies This Weekend

Spider-Man: Brand New Day

262 showtimes across 20 cinemas nationwide. Playing in every city covered this weekend: Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad, Hyderabad, Faisalabad, Sialkot, Gujrat, and Multan. Available in 2D at almost every cinema, and in 3D at Universal Emporium and Universal Multan. Urdu dubbed versions are also available at select locations.

The 145-minute runtime does not feel long. IMDb rating of 7.9, directed by Destin Daniel Cretton. If you have been waiting for a less crowded weekend to see it, this one is quieter than opening week.

Insidious: Out of the Further

235 showtimes across 19 cinemas. The broadest horror release in Pakistan right now. Showing in 2D at every major chain, with Urdu dub available at select cinemas. Jacob Chase directed; the franchise continues here, set within the established mythology.

Horror works best in a properly tuned hall. CUE Cinemas has Dolby Atmos in Lahore, which is the recommended choice for anything in the genre. In Karachi, both Nueplex locations have capable sound systems.

Fall 2: Deadpoint

198 showtimes at 21 cinemas — the widest release of any movie this weekend. Every Cinepax location from Ocean Mall to Nayyar Mall is showing it, as are all Cinegold, Nueplex, Cinestar, CUE, and Universal locations. Michael Spierig directed; 98 minutes, English and Urdu.

The first Fall was a survival thriller set on a 2,000-foot TV tower. This is the sequel. If you liked the first film this is worth the Friday or Saturday slot. At 98 minutes it is the shortest of the top three, which makes it easier to fit around an evening.

Bol Bhavein Na Bol

89 showtimes at 20 cinemas — new this weekend. A Punjabi comedy directed by Rakesh Dhawan, opening Friday September 4. 140 minutes, showing in Punjabi across all nine cities: Lahore, Islamabad, Karachi, Hyderabad, Faisalabad, Gujranwala, Sialkot, Gujrat, and Multan.

This is the widest opening for a Punjabi film this year. Strong day-and-date rollout, and the 20-cinema count puts it in the same league as the Hollywood releases this weekend. Worth watching this weekend while it has momentum.
