Alex Strangelove

The star-studded cast also includes Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway, Mindy Kaling, Helena Bonham Carter, and Rihanna.
Incredibles 2
Release date: June 13
It may have taken almost 14 years and many Pixar films in between, but the sequel to The Incredibles is finally here! Now set in a world where superheroes are forced into hiding, Elastigirl (Holly Hunter) is called to spring into action and save the day while Mr. Incredible (Craig T. Nelson) faces his biggest foe yet: Staying home and raising their three superhero kids.
Set It Up

Naturally, a hilarious meet-cute and plenty of hijinks ensue. The movie starts streaming on Netflix this June 15.
Hotel Artemis
Release date: June 20
Up for some high-octane action a la John Wick? This thrilling futuristic movie stars Jodie Foster as The Nurse, a mysterious woman who runs a secret members-only hospital for criminals. The cast also features Sterling K. Brown, Dave Bautista, Jeff Goldblum, Jenny Slate, and Zachary Quinto.
Release date: June 20
Dubbed as one of the scariest (and for some, even traumatic) horror movies this year, Hereditary centers on a family coping with the death of their reclusive grandmother. What follows is a horrifying discovery about long-kept family secrets that they’ve inherited.
Us and Them
Release date: June 22
Netflix has picked up China’s box-office smash, Us and Them, to premiere on the platform this month. Helmed by actress and first-time director Rene Liu, the movie follows a heartbreaking love story that spans 10 years! It all begins when two strangers meet on a train home for Chinese New Year.
Tag
Release date: June 27
Tag used to be a fun game you played as a kid, but now it’s an entire movie! Don’t write it off just yet, though. This comedy is based on a 2013 article from The Wall Street Journal about a group of childhood friends who have played an increasingly elaborate game of tag for 23 years. In fact, they’re so dedicated to their tradition that they’ve incorporated it into their adult lifestyles. The entertaining film stars Jeremy Renner, Ed Helms, Jon Hamm, Hannibal Buress, Isla Fisher, and more.
Adrift
Release date: June 27
Based on true events, Adrift revolves around two avid sailors (Sam Claflin and Shailene Woodley), who set out on a romantic journey across the Pacific Ocean and inadvertently sail directly into a hurricane.
