Emma Roberts and Luke Bracey star as a loving couple whose new relationship is tested in the new romantic comedy Maybe I Do. Arranging for their parents to meet seems like the logical next step in their relationship, but little do they know that their parents have not exactly been faithful to their own spouses, which makes for a hilariously awkward meeting. Richard Gere, Diane Keaton, William H. Macy and Susan Sarandon also star.
Brad Pitt, Diego Calva and Margot Robbie star in the outrageous Babylon, which tells raucous stories from Old Hollywood days with great style in a historical comedy-drama.
Ambitious young event planners Jacob Latimore and Tosin Cole are best friends who are willing to do anything in House Party in order to get their fledging business off the ground. So when they see an opportunity to throw an event in the mansion they're cleaning, which just so happens to be owned by basketball superstar LeBron James, they invite everyone they know to a party that soon spirals out of control in the fresh new comedy.
Gerard Butler and Mike Colter team up in Plane. One is a pilot, the other is an accused murderer; the only thing they have in common is their mutual desire to help as many people as possible survive the worse nightmare of their lives after they crash land on a war-torn island.
What if your grief-stricken niece became best friends with M#GAN, a robotic companion that you created? Brilliant scientist Allison Williams thinks she's created something that everyone will want, but soon discovers that the little mechanical tyke is deadly serious about protecting her new friend.
A daring cat must reconsider his risky lifestyle in Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. Antonio Banderas stars as an adventure-loving feline who must confront his own mortality in an animated adventure that also stars Salma Hayek.
