Minions
Those lovable Minions from Despicable Me are back on July 10th, this time, with their very own movie and back story. It turns out, Minions have been around since the dawn of time.

Pixels
Here’s another movie you could take your kids to see for a fun night out. Pixels, due out on July 24th, takes place when aliens come across a time capsule filled with old arcade games.
