Zootopia 2 — Out now on VOD and Digital

The sequel to Disney's 2016 smash hit Zootopia is now available to watch at home. This time, unconventional police partners Judy Hopps (Ginnifer Goodwin) and Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman) are on the case of a reptilian newcomer to the bustling mammal metropolis of Zootopia, which threatens to turn the whole city upside down.

Is This Thing On? — In cinemas February 5

There's nothing funny about divorce. At least Alex (Will Arnett) steps up to a NYC comedy club open mic to work with the only material he's got: how his marriage with Tess (Laura Dern) is unravelling right in front of his eyes. Meanwhile, Tess begins to confront the sacrifices she made for their marriage and two children, sending them both on a path of self-discovery that either ends with happy or sad tears for us in the audience.

We Bury The Dead — In cinemas February 5

The second zombie film of 2026 shifts the focus from a quarantined UK to Australia, where an experimental military weapon has caused mass devastation in Tasmania. Daisy Ridley (Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker) stars as Ava, who joins a voluntary body retrieval unit to search for her missing husband. Her military overseers insist the dead that "come back online" are docile, but in her search, she discovers they're growing more violent by the hour.

Wuthering Heights — In cinemas February 12

Without a doubt the 'it' movie of February, Wuthering Heights has all the makings of a modern cinema buzz topic, and seemingly won't pull any punches when it comes to raising pulses and flooding endorphins. What else can possibly happen when the director of Saltburn takes one of the most popular classical romances of all time, casts Australia's most attractive actors across from one another and commissions a soundtrack from Charli XCX?

Crime 101 — In cinemas February 12

In their first pairing on-screen outside of the MCU, Chris Hemsworth and Mark Ruffalo are on either side of this cat-and-mouse crime thriller. Hemsworth is a master jewel thief, pursued by a dogged detective (Ruffalo) from heist to heist, until a disillusioned broker (Halle Berry) and a rival thief (Barry Keoghan) get involved in their pursuit of one another, and the lines between hunter and hunted begin to blur.

EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert — In cinemas February 19

Before you go accusing Bahz Lurhmann of being an Elvis addict, having only just created the Austin Butler-starring biopic four years ago, it was during the production of Elvis that he stumbled upon long-lost footage of the king in his prime. Part documentary, part concert film, Lurhmann has edited together footage of Elvis in his 1970s Vegas residency, 16mm footage of his tours and 8mm clips from the Graceland archives for a one-of-a-kind retrospective on the legendary performer.

Jimpa — In cinemas February 19

After debuting in Australia at film festivals, Jimpa is now getting a wider theatrical release in February. Olivia Colman stars as Hannah, a woman travelling with their nonbinary teenager, Frances (Aud Mason-Hyde), to visit their gay grandfather, Jim (John Lithgow). When Frances reveals they want to stay with "Jimpa" for the year, Hannah is forced to look back on her past to reconsider herself as a parent.

Sound of Falling — In cinemas February 19

A particularly eerie entry into the monthly film schedule, Sound of Falling was another popular pick from the 2025 film festival circuit, and is finally touching down on Australian screens this month. Sound of Falling takes place in one German farmhouse, exploring the lives of four women, decades apart, who share the same hardships and secrets that become part of the house itself.

Pillion — In cinemas February 19

Part of the programming for this year's Mardi Gras Film Festival, as well as getting a wide theatrical release, Pillion focuses on the quiet wallflower Colin (Harry Melling), content to let life pass him by, until he meets biker Ray (Alexander Skarsgård). With their chemistry blazing hot, Colin enters the passionate world of BDSM after Ray takes Colin on as his submissive.

Splitsville — Streaming on HBO Max February 25

A similarly steamy film, Splitsville sells itself as "an unromantic comedy," in which two couples collide with different dynamics, boundaries and expectations of one another. Carey (Kyle Marvin) and Ashley (Adria Arjona) are monogamous, but are on the edge of divorce. Carey seeks advice from his best friend Paul (Michael Angelo Covino) and his wife Julie (Dakota Johnson), only to discover they're in an open relationship. Misunderstandings ensue, and friendships quickly devolve into chaos.

The Bluff — Streaming on Prime Video February 25

In the 18th century Caribbean, a former pirate (Priyanka Chopra) has made a quiet life for herself on a remote island with her family. But when old allies turned enemies (New Zealand's own Karl Urban and Temuera Morrison, among others) come looking for her, she has to return to her old life as 'Bloody Mary' to protect her children from the evils of her past.

The Testament of Ann Lee — In cinemas February 26

Amanda Seyfried steps into another musical role, but one far different from her previous performances, as Ann Lee, the leader of the Puritan Shakers movement. Lee, a woman preacher believed by her followers to be the second coming of Christ, must shepherd her flock across the Atlantic to found one of the largest utopian societies in American history.

Scream 7 — In cinemas February 26

All these years later, it's still not a good idea to play a game when Ghostface picks up the phone. This time, Neve Campbell returns as franchise final girl Sidney Prescott, who must defend her daughter (Isabel May) becomes the new target of another Ghostface killer.

Sirāt — In cinemas February 26

Part of the 2026 Academy Award lineup as a nomination for Best International Feature Film and Best Original Screenplay, Sirāt follows a father and his young son who travel deep into the mountains of Southern Morocco, searching for his lost daughter in the unfamiliar world of dance culture.
