December 2026 Movies in Pakistan Cinemas: All 13 Release Dates, From The Surrender to Jumanji
December 2026 movies in Pakistani cinemas: 13 release dates from Cinepax, Universal and CUE, with Doomsday and Dune on 18 December and Jumanji on 25 December.
Pakistani cinemas list 13 new films for December 2026, opening on four Fridays: 4, 11, 18 and 25 December. The big day is 18 December, when Avengers: Doomsday and Dune: Part Three both open. Jumanji: Open World follows on 25 December. No new Pakistani film is dated for December; the next one we found, Saraab, opens on 8 January 2027.
We built this list on 12 November 2026 from the coming soon pages of Cinepax, Universal Cinemas and CUE Cinemas, and checked the two biggest dates on the studios' own sites. Most dates here are what the chains have entered in their booking systems. Those can move, so we show which chain lists each film.

18 December brings Doomsday and Dune on one day
Both studios confirm the date. Disney's page gives Avengers: Doomsday "Release Date: December 18, 2026". The Dune: Part Three site gives 18 December for North America and "internationally beginning 16 December 2026", but Pakistani chains list 18 December.
Cinepax has four Doomsday versions: 2D and 3D, each in English and Urdu. Dune has English and Urdu versions there. Our Doomsday vs Dune guide compares running times and helps you choose which to book first. The full branch list is in our Doomsday cinemas by city page.
Also on 18 December: Musa Kalimullah, a Persian-language film about Pharaoh's fear of the child who will become Prophet Musa, directed by Ebrahim Hatamikia, in Persian and an Urdu dubbed version at Cinepax. Daudaak is a Punjabi drama about a 400-metre runner accused of murder.
Family picks for the winter holidays
Two December films suit children best. Jumanji: Open World, with Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Jack Black and Karen Gillan, opens on 25 December. The Angry Birds Movie 3 opens the same day at Universal.
Avoid a few for young children. Cinepax marks The Doll: Ghawiah as 18+, and The Surrender, Inherit and Curse of Crom 2 are horror. Violent Night 2 is an action film about a violent Santa. Before then, Hexed, an animated comedy, opens on 27 November in 2D and 3D at Cinepax. More choices are in our family movies list.
- Best for families: Jumanji: Open World, The Angry Birds Movie 3, Hexed (27 November).
- Big screen: Avengers: Doomsday, Dune: Part Three.
- Adults only: The Doll: Ghawiah.
No new Pakistani film is dated for December
We found no new Pakistani film with a December date at any chain. Saraab, a drama about men's mental health directed by Saram Jaffery with Iqra Kainat, is listed by Universal and CUE for Friday 8 January 2027.
Pakistani titles are still showing now. On 12 November Universal and CUE had Mango Jutt, and Universal had Aag Lagay Basti Mein and a re-run of The Legend of Maula Jatt. Cinepax, Nueplex and Universal were showing The Colour of My Heart, a documentary with Zia Mohyeddin, Nahid Siddiqui and Salima Hashmi. Nueplex also had Ghost School. Our earlier Pakistani movies list for October to December has background on the year's local films.
How to check a December date before you plan
Dates in a chain's system can change, and Pakistani releases sometimes move a week. Check the day before you buy.
- Open your chain's coming soon page: web.cinepax.com, universalcinemas.com or cuecinemas.com.
- Find the film and read the opening date on its own page.
- Look for showtimes. "No sessions scheduled" means booking is not open.
- Pick your branch at Cinepax to see that branch's shows.
- Book once times appear, usually in the week of release.
Our ticket price guide explains where each chain shows the price.
On 12 November, none of the December films had showtimes at any chain. Universal's pages for Avengers: Doomsday and Dune: Part Three both said "There are currently no sessions scheduled". Cinepax's records for its December films were also marked with no future sessions. So the dates above are the chains' plans, and the first real proof is a bookable show time.
