Warner Bros. Pictures CinemaCon 2026 Presentation Recap - Digger
Warner Bros. Pictures

Tom Cruise was on hand at CinemaCon once again to promote his new film, Digger, with director Alejandro G. Inarritu.  In the shown teaser, an almost unrecognizable Cruise plays Digger Rockwell, who gets into a mess and needed to get out of it. It’s a  comedic take on a catastrophe.  Tom Cruise said, “It was inspiring working with him (Inarritu). This kind of movie is why I wanted to make movies.” The movie is rounded out with a stellar cast. Inarritu is still working on the film, but we got to see pieces of it. Digger, hits theaters October 2026.

The End of Oak Street with Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor tells a story about how one family’s house had moved and they are faced with the challenges of keeping it all together. What is happening outside…dinosaurs? Or at least that’s what they have shown us so far. In theaters August 14.

Warner Bros. gave us a look at the thrillers and horror that will be part of their lineup. 

Evil Dead Burn will be out July 10. They gave the CinemaCon audience an early look at a rough trailer that’s not quite ready for theatrical release. The movie features a new family that may seem perfect, but isn’t so perfect. Be prepared for the blood and guts and jump scares that you would expect.

It showed that she is more than what people assume her to be.  Supergirl speeds into theaters June 26, 2026.

Practical Magic 2 was introduced by Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman themselves.  The actresses mentioned that it felt like they got to come home instead of just shooting a sequel.  “We got to go back home because they rebuilt the house,” said Bullock. That seems to have brought magic to the movie. “We come to this place for magic,” joked Kidman.  Channing and Wiest are part of the cast once again where they must all deal with the past that is catching up with them. There will be laughs, tears. and magic. The teaser drummed up all of the nostalgia of the original.  The movie will be out September 11, 2026.

Dune Part Three marched onto the stage with its own army. Denis Villeneuve thanked movie theaters for showing the movie the way it is supposed to be shown on the screen.  “This is a thriller, emotion packed and intense,”  noted Villeneuve. Part 3 Three is set 17 years later. Paul is dealing with the consequences of his actions.  Momoa, Zendaya, and Timothée Chalamet were brought on to the stage to talk about the film. Zendaya did what she does best, and dressed for the part. Her look reflected the mood of Dune Part Three.  Zendaya, on her character’s storyline in this one, “It’s unrelenting for her.  Her youthful outlook is gone.” Momoa added in an explanation of how his character is back for this installment.
