The smoothest criminal of all is one that can take the top box office spot back weeks after its release, which has happened with Michael. I can't imagine that'll remain the case heading into the back half of May, however, and I doubt any upcoming horror flicks will be able to take down the latest Star Wars release.
With upcoming book-to-screen adaptations, family-friendly adventures, romantic excursions and more there are so many big-screen experiences (and streaming exclusives) about to premiere, moviegoers have plenty to get excited about in May 2026 and beyond. Will The Mandalorian and Grogu's paired theatrical outing fare better than the critical reactions? I can't wait to find out.
May 2026 Movie Releases
A little less than 50 years after George Lucas started the massive franchise, David Filoni will give the world its first new Star Wars movie in nearly a decade with The Mandalorian and Grogu. And yes, it's happening in the same month where a movie called F-cktoys is coming out.
