Top Movies in Pakistan This Week (May 18 – 24, 2026)

Michael has taken over Pakistan's cinemas. 101 showtimes across all 12 cinemas — the only movie this week with complete national coverage. No other film comes close. Aag Lage Basti Mein sits at second with 56 showtimes at 10 cinemas, The Devil Wears Prada 2 opens strong at 45 showtimes across 9 cinemas, and the Pakistan cinema chart this week has 29 movies and 514 total showtimes.

Horror is having a moment. Between Siccin 9 Turkish Dubbed (29 showtimes), the original-language Siccin 9 (24 showtimes), Lee Cronin's The Mummy (30 showtimes), Hokum (7), and Don't Sleep (2), the genre accounts for nearly a fifth of all screens. Turkish horror has found its audience here and it is not letting go.

Michael — 101 Showtimes, 12 Cinemas

The top movie in Pakistan this week by a wide margin. A music biopic rated 7.6 with a 128-minute runtime, and it is playing at every cinema we track. Universal Emporium leads with 20 showtimes, followed by CUE Cinemas with 17 and Nueplex DHA with 15 in Karachi.

Playing at Universal Emporium, CUE Cinemas, Nueplex DHA, Nueplex Askari IV, Cinepax Ocean Mall, Cinestar Township, Cinestar Xinhua Mall, Cinepax Jinnah Park, Cinepax Packages Mall, Cinestar DHA Raya Club, Cinepax Amanah Mall, and Cinepax World Trade Center. All in 2D English.

101 showtimes in a single week is dominant. When a film opens at every cinema simultaneously with triple-digit showtimes, the distributor had confidence and the audience showed up. Evening shows at CUE and Universal have been packed — try weekday matinees if you want better seats.

Aag Lage Basti Mein — 56 Showtimes, 10 Cinemas

Still the second most-screened movie in the country. Universal Emporium leads with 14 showtimes, Nueplex Askari IV has 11 in Karachi, and Cinepax Jinnah Park has 8 in Islamabad — the capital is still very much into this one.

Also at Cinepax Packages Mall (6), Cinestar Township (4), CUE Cinemas (4), Cinepax Ocean Mall (4), Cinepax World Trade Center (2), Nueplex DHA (2), and Cinepax Amanah Mall (1). All in 2D English.

This one has legs. It is holding screens well and Islamabad continues to over-index on it compared to other cities. If you have not seen it, it is still widely available.

A 6.6 rating and 119-minute runtime. The original was a cultural moment in 2006 — twenty years later, the sequel has arrived. CUE and Nueplex DHA are your best bets if you want the most showtime options.

Lee Cronin's The Mummy — 30 Showtimes, 8 Cinemas

The horror-mystery entry rounds out the top 5 with 30 showtimes at 8 cinemas. Rated 8.1 — the highest-rated movie in this week's top 5. Universal Emporium has 7 showtimes, Nueplex Askari IV has 6, and Cinepax Jinnah Park has 4 in Islamabad.

Also at CUE Cinemas (3), Cinepax Amanah Mall (3), Cinepax Ocean Mall (3), Cinepax Packages Mall (2), and Cinepax World Trade Center (2). Available in both English and Urdu.

The Urdu dub option makes this accessible to a wider audience. If you are going for horror, CUE's Dolby Atmos setup is still the recommendation — every creak and jump scare lands harder.
