Although streaming services are becoming increasingly popular, taking business away from theaters, nothing compares to the theatrical experience, especially in films made specifically for the big screen. As a result, despite not having much time, some people still try to see many of these wonderful films at the cinema.
Luckily, 2024 has been a good year so far in terms of the quality of movies, even if the box office hasn't performed as well as many hoped. In June 2024, for example, numerous intriguing films were released in theaters, including Bad Boys: Ride or Die, Inside Out 2, and A Quiet Place: Day One, ensuring that moviegoers had a great time throughout the month.
Similarly, the approaching month appears to be highly promising, with not only anticipated Marvel , but also sequels to some of the most popular and successful animated franchises. With that in mind, here's a list of every movie coming to theaters in July 2024.

In the new film Despicable Me 4, Gru, Lucy, Edith, and Agnes welcome a new member to the family, Gru Jr., who seems to have no compassion for tormenting his father with his little antics. On the other hand, Maxime Le Mal and his girlfriend Valentina are determined to seek revenge on Gru's family.
