A double treat awaits Bangladeshi moviegoers this weekend, as two of the most anticipated international films of the year — James Gunn’s “Superman” and the Jackie Chan-starrer “Karate Kid: Legends” — are set to hit the big screen at Star Cineplex on July 11, the same day as their global release.

Despite a high-profile Eid-ul-Azha release, the film “Tagar” starring Puja Cherry and Ador Azad has been pulled from screenings at the country’s three major multiplexes—Star Cineplex, Blockbuster Cinemas, and Lion Cinemas—due to poor audience turnout.

The Star Cineplex authorities have issued a public warning, urging moviegoers to stay alert and avoid unauthorised platforms.

"Jawan" continues to dominate local theaters, as crowds are still seeking tickets after 11 days since its release. The film is going houseful in almost all of the cinema halls, which has led to shortage of tickets.
