Spanish Cinemas Boost Lineup with Diverse Slate of International and European Releases
Spanish cinemas are diversifying their weekly offerings with a mix of international blockbusters, historical dramas, and European comedies to draw audiences back to the big screen.
This week’s cinema listings in Spain offer a diverse mix of films, as theaters look to attract audiences back from streaming platforms with a wide variety of genres.
International releases lead the way, starting with Warner Bros.’ Coyote vs. Acme. Directed by Dave Green and starring Will Forte, John Cena, and Lana Condor, this live-action and digital hybrid brings the classic Looney Tunes rivalry between Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner into the courtroom. For those who prefer historical drama, Pressure—directed by Anthony Maras and starring Andrew Scott and Brendan Fraser—recounts the high-stakes weather decisions made before the Normandy landings.
Action fans have two major films to choose from. Guy Ritchie’s The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare features Henry Cavill, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Eiza González in a story about a covert mission. Meanwhile, Guy Moshe’s Operation Tehran stars Liam Neeson and Zachary Levi in a thriller about former CIA agents seeking redemption. On the horror front, director Zach Cregger offers a new take on the Resident Evil universe, focusing on a courier played by Austin Abrams as he struggles to survive in a dangerous environment, independent of the franchise's usual characters.
The European selection brings a lighter touch with two French comedies about family and community. My Dearest Parents, starring André Dussollier and Miou-Miou, explores the tensions that arise after a lottery win, while Open Season 2, directed by Frédéric Forestier and Antonin Fourlon, returns to the neighborhood conflicts surrounding hunting. Finally, younger viewers can enjoy The Incredible Story of the Giant Pear, a Danish animated film based on Jakob Martin Strid’s book, which follows a hippopotamus on a journey to Siberia to find a cure for his sudden growth.
By offering everything from family-friendly animation to war dramas and comedies, theaters are clearly aiming to provide something for every type of moviegoer.
