Week of July 6
Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox, and Josh Duchamel find themselves battling deadly alien robots in Michael Bay's new action pic, Transformers. The film, based on the '80s toy franchise, finds two races — the good Autobots and the evil Decepticons — transferring their fight to Earth; LaBeouf stumbles into the middle of things when he buys an Autobot disguised as a Chevy Camaro.
License to Wed throws Mandy Moore and John Krasinski into a tricky situation of their own. They play a couple who want to get married in Robin Williams' church; before they can do so, though, they have to pass Williams' fiendishly difficult marriage prep course.
Out in limited release this week: Introducing the Dwights, a comedy about a young man coping with the demands of family and girlfriend; Joshua, a disintegrating-family thriller starring Sam Rockwell and Vera Farmiga; and Muy Thai actioner/revenge drama Dynamite Warrior.
Week of July 13
The Harry Potter book series is drawing to a close, but the film franchise still has a ways to go. The fourth installment, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, pits Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint and their friends against Voldemort, the Ministry of Magic, and Hogwarts' newest addition to the teaching staff, Dolores Umbridge.
Elisha Cuthbert's fashion model is kidnapped by a serial killer in the aptly-named Captivity. More people will probably see the controversial ads than the horror film itself.
Out in limited release this week: Rescue Dawn, Werner Herzog's remake of his 1997 documentary Little Dieter Needs to Fly, with Christian Bale in the lead; Interview, a drama co-written, directed by and starring Steve Buscemi; biopic Talk to Me, with Don Cheadle and Chiwetel Ejiofor; French farce My Best Friend; and Mexican ensemble piece Drama/Mex.
Week of July 20
John Travolta, Michelle Pfeiffer, Christopher Walken, and Queen Latifah head up the cast of Hairspray. This musical, centered around a teenage girl (Nikki Blonsky) who lands a spot on a TV dance show, is a remake of the Broadway show, which is itself a remake of John Waters' 1968 film.
I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry stars Adam Sandler and Kevin James as two firefighters who pretend to be a gay couple for the domestic partner benefits. Trouble ensues, however, when their private, just-on-paper arrangement makes the headlines.
Out in limited release this week: Sunshine, a sci-fi thriller with Cillian Murphy, Rose Byrne, and Chris Evans; Goya's Ghosts, a drama starring Natalie Portman, Stellan Skarsgård, and Javier Bardem; and Cashback, a feature-length version of Sean Ellis's Academy Award-nominated comedy-romance short.
Week of July 27
Fox's long-running animated hit The Simpsons finally comes to the big screen. Homer, adding to his very long list of mishaps, accidentally releases toxic waste into the river, forcing the town to evacuate (possibly for good).
Lindsay Lohan must figure out who kidnapped and tortured her — and recover her identity — I Know Who Killed Me. Jason Behr of TV's Roswell has one group of werewolves trying to kill him in Skinwalkers, and another pack trying to protect him.
For those who can't stomach horror films, No Reservations stars Catherine Zeta-Jones as a chef who must adapt to a new sous-chef (Aaron Eckhart) and a recently orphaned niece (Abigail Breslin). And in the sports comedy Who's Your Caddy?, a rapper played by Big Boi (aka OutKast) wants to join a country club, but runs into opposition from the club's board president (Jeffrey Jones).
Out in limited release this week: biopic Molière; Arctic Tale, a documentary narrated by Queen Latifah; and coming-of-age indie drama This Is England.
