What movies are opening in August 2022?
Secret Headquarters – A kid discovers a—you guessed it—secret headquarters underneath his home and starts to wonder if his estranged father might secretly be a superhero. Owen Wilson, Michael Peña, and Jesse Williams star. (August 12)
Beast – This one’s not entirely genre, but we’re willing to make an exception for an adventure flick that pits Idris Elba (who plays the father of two teen girls) against a gigantic rogue lion (which happens to be hunting said teens in South Africa). (August 19)
The Bride – Game of Thrones’ Nathalie Emmanuel stars as a woman who realizes, maybe too late, that her new love isn’t what he seems. Big hint: the movie is said to be “Dracula-inspired.” (August 26)
Samaritan – Sylvester Stallone plays a retired superhero who has gone into hiding, then forced to come out to save a struggling family. It’s almost like if Rocky was Superman, retired, went into hiding, and came back into the ring. (August 26)
