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.
Star Cineplex is set to treat local moviegoers with the release of two high-profile Hollywood films tomorrow. Leading the lineup is “Jurassic World Rebirth”, the newest chapter in the blockbuster “Jurassic World” saga.
Four Hollywood films are set to be released simultaneously at Star Cineplex tomorrow. The much-talked-about horror sequel “M3GAN 2.0” and “F1: The Movie”, a film based on the Formula One World Championship, will also see their international release on June 27.
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.
Two of Hollywood’s most anticipated films- “Mission: Impossible – Final Reckoning” and Marvel’s “Thunderbolts” are set to release today at Star Cineplex, sparking major excitement among Bangladeshi moviegoers.
The breakthrough came during a meeting held Thursday (May 22) afternoon at Star Cineplex’s Bashundhara City branch, where both parties agreed on a revised revenue-sharing model. While the exact financial terms remain undisclosed, the agreement is being hailed as a significant move towards greater transparency and collaboration in the country’s film exhibition sector.
This abrupt increase has sparked a flurry of reactions on social media, with many expressing their frustration and disappointment. Filmmakers and industry insiders have also voiced their concerns.
This Eid-ul-Fitr, the overwhelming popularity of Bangladeshi films has led Star Cineplex to halt screenings of Hollywood blockbusters at its branches nationwide.

"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.
After Shah Rukh Khan's "Jawan" got its censor certificate, fans began to line up in front of Star Cineplex to buy tickets for the evening show. However, Star Cineplex didn't update their timing for "Jawan" at their website, which left fans wondering whether the film is being screened at Star Cineplex today.
