Weekly International Movie & TV Show News Roundup
This week’s roundup covers news from October 23 to 30, 2026: a strong opening for Clayface, a busy list of cinema releases, new trailers, streaming picks and casting updates.
Box office
Clayface led the domestic box office over the October 23–25 weekend, opening with $24 million across 3,458 theatres.
In second place, documentary You Can See Everything took $19.5 million in its second weekend. That was a 25% rise on its opening weekend, as the film expanded to 2,655 theatres. It has now become the highest-grossing documentary at the US box office in 15 years, passing Fahrenheit 9/11.
There are no major new wide releases expected to dominate this weekend, October 30 to November 1. That could give Clayface and You Can See Everything another chance to lead the box office.
New in cinemas this weekend
Several new titles arrive in cinemas on October 30, including The Mosquito Bowl, The Mongoose, Queen at Sea, Everest: The Other Side and Christmas at the Kringles.
The Mosquito Bowl is the headline pick: Peter Berg's Second World War drama, starring Nicholas Galitzine and Bill Skarsgård. It opens in select US theatres on October 30 before arriving on Netflix on November 25, so cinema-going fans get a first look more than three weeks early.
Music fans also have a concert film to look out for: BTS World Tour 'Arirang' in São Paulo. It brings a live music event to the big screen, making it a different kind of cinema pick among this week’s new releases.
If the film inspires you to add more music to your wardrobe, take a look through the Rock Universe Movies collection. Rock Universe has officially licensed band tees and other clothing for fans who like to wear their music taste.
