February 2026 is surprisingly stacked with films that span thrillers, family movies, romance, adaptations, and cult-interest releases. So whether you’re into drama, action, or something weird and wild, there’s a pick for you.
One of the buzziest films this month is Wuthering Heights — a bold new adaptation of the classic gothic romance starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, hitting theaters around Valentine’s Day weekend. It’s already sparked conversation for its dramatic visuals and intense chemistry.
Also coming out on February 13 is Crime 101, a sleek heist thriller featuring a stacked cast like Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, and Halle Berry — perfect if you want something tense and stylish.
If you’re looking for lighter fare (or something to watch with younger siblings), GOAT arrives the same day — an animated sports comedy about a goat with big dreams in a ridiculous high-intensity animal sport.
Another choice for early February is With Love, a Tamil romantic comedy that lands on February 6, and brings charming vibes and cultural flair to the season.
For a mix of genres throughout the month, check out:
- Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die — a sci-fi comedy adventure with a bizarre premise and memorable cast.
- Cold Storage — a sci-fi thriller starring Liam Neeson and Joe Keery involving a dangerous micro-organism.
- The Sheep Detectives — a quirky comedy fantasy with Hugh Jackman and Emma Thompson, releasing toward the end of the month.
- Scream 7 — for horror fans, the next chapter of the Ghostface saga arrives on February 27.
And if you’re into global cinema, films like The Loved One (a Filipino romantic drama) and Vadh 2 (a compelling Hindi crime thriller) are also set for February releases, adding international flavor to the lineup.
Even streaming platforms are joining the fun: while this list focuses on theatrical releases, February also brings major OTT hits and season drops that shape how people talk about movies and shows online.
Whether you want a rom-com for Valentine’s weekend, a thriller that makes you jump, or a goofy animated night with friends, February 2026 has something to watch.
