Omer Khan8 min read

Michael is everywhere. 76 showtimes across all 12 cinemas — the only movie this week with full national coverage. It is the biggest opening of the year so far by screen count. Aag Lage Basti Mein drops to second with 52 showtimes, still holding strong at 10 cinemas. The new arrivals are The Devil Wears Prada 2 (38 showtimes, 9 cinemas) and Hoppers (35 showtimes, 6 cinemas). The Pakistan cinema chart this week has 31 movies and 465 total showtimes.

The horror contingent is real. Siccin 9 in its Turkish dubbed version has 33 showtimes, the original-language Siccin 9 has another 14, Lee Cronin's The Mummy is at 32, and Hokum adds 4 more. That is nearly 20% of all showtimes going to horror this week.

Michael — 76 Showtimes, 12 Cinemas

The top movie in Pakistan this week. A music biopic with a 7.6 rating and 128-minute runtime, playing at every cinema we track. CUE Cinemas leads with 14 showtimes, followed by Cinepax Ocean Mall with 12 and Universal Emporium with 10.

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

When a movie opens at every cinema simultaneously, it usually means the distributor is confident. The numbers back it up — 76 showtimes in opening week is dominant.

Aag Lage Basti Mein — 52 Showtimes, 10 Cinemas

Still the second most-screened movie in the country. Down from its peak but holding at 10 cinemas. Cinepax Jinnah Park leads with 12 showtimes — Islamabad is still very much into this one. Cinepax Ocean Mall has 10 in Karachi, and Lahore showtimes are spread across Cinepax Packages Mall (7), Universal Emporium (7), and Cinepax Amanah Mall (3).

Playing in 2D English at all locations. This one has had a long run and is still pulling decent numbers. If you have not seen it yet, it is still widely available.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 — 38 Showtimes, 9 Cinemas

New this week. The comedy-drama sequel opens with 38 showtimes across 9 cinemas. CUE Cinemas is giving it the most screen time with 10 showtimes. Cinepax Ocean Mall follows with 9. In Lahore, Cinepax Packages Mall has 6 and Nueplex DHA in Karachi has 6.

A 6.6 rating and 119-minute runtime. Playing in 2D English. The original was a cultural moment — this sequel will either ride nostalgia or it won't. The opening numbers are solid regardless. CUE in Lahore and Cinepax Ocean Mall in Karachi are your best bets for multiple showtime options.

Hoppers — 35 Showtimes, 6 Cinemas

The other new arrival this week. An animated adventure-comedy-family film rated 8.1 with a 104-minute runtime. Cinepax Packages Mall leads with 14 showtimes — clearly positioning this as their family pick of the week. Cinepax Ocean Mall has 8, and Cinepax Jinnah Park has 6 in Islamabad.

This is a Cinepax-heavy release — five of the six cinemas showing it are Cinepax locations, with CUE Cinemas being the only other chain carrying it (1 showtime). Playing in 2D English. If you have kids, this is the one.

Turkish horror continues to do well in Pakistan. The dubbed version has 33 showtimes across 7 cinemas. Cinepax Ocean Mall leads with 9 in Karachi, Cinepax Packages Mall has 8 in Lahore, and Cinepax Jinnah Park has 5 in Islamabad.

Between this, the original-language version (14 more showtimes at Nueplex and CUE), and the other horror titles this week, the genre is having a strong moment. Playing in 2D English across Cinepax, Nueplex, and CUE locations.
