✹ WEEKLY FILM RUNDOWN: July 3-10

The latest releases and special screenings hitting Music City this week. For a complete list of upcoming titles, check out the 2025 Film Guide.

Jurassic World: Rebirth (Dir. Gareth Edwards)The franchise gets back to its horror roots as Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey, and Mahershala Ali play mercenaries journeying to the defunct park’s research island to extract some cancer-curing dino DNA. With original JP screenwriter David Koepp and Godzilla/Rogue One director Gareth Edwards mining Michael Crichton’s novel for unexplored story threads, it looks like a worthy successor–even without Jeff Goldblum.

The Damned (Dir. Roberto Minevini) A group of Union soldiers treks out West in 1862 to find themselves at the nexus of the Civil War and the Gold Rush in this Montana-shot hybrid of the war movie and western. Now playing at The Belcourt .

40 Acres (R.T. Thorne) A family’s utopian farm in a post-apocalyptic world buckles under the threat of its eldest son’s desire to start his adult life. Now playing in theaters. 

Action Distraction: The Belcourt gets us through the Dog Days of Summer with a roster of 20+ classic action flicks from all over the world. Kicking off this week with Independence Day, Robocop, and The Goonies, the series also includes Terminator 2: Judgement Day, Tombstone, Speed, Heat, John Wick, and RRR among others. 

Nashville: A City on Film/Altman at 100 The Belcourt turned 100 this year. So did the late Robert Altman. To celebrate, Nashville’s arthouse has curated a selection of films shot in Nashville from Harmony Korine’s Gummo to the little-seen Girl from Tobacco Row to Ernest Scared Stupid. The tribute to the 70s film icon features a lineup including Thieves Like Us, The Player, and California Split.
