What we know
The Weird Kidz (2026)
Three 12-year-old boys, including the precocious Dug, excitedly tag along with Dug’s older brother and his new girlfriend for a night of fireside camping. Their good times are rudely interrupted, though, when a local monster legend known as the “Night Child” turns out to be all too real.
The same weekend also brings Moana. Two trailers, one argument about which one wins the window.
It hits the big screen on July 9, 2026.
