In classic fashion for British weather, while we’ve had a lovely week of sunshine and warmer days, it seems as though the temperature could plummet and rain might rear its head, just in time for the May Bank Holiday weekend. Still, there’s no better way of avoiding the bad weather than by heading down to your local Cineworld and catching the latest and greatest films.
Whether you’re looking to catch up with friends, entertain the family for a few hours or even just score some much-needed alone time, Cineworld’s May bank holiday schedule is filled with films to suit everyone. To help you fill up your diary for the weekend, here are a few highlights and offers just waiting for you.
Moonwalk into the cinema with Michael
Already smashing box office records, it should come as no surprise that the first-ever biopic of the King of Pop has immediately morphed into a fan favourite mega-hit. Michael showcases the star’s meteoric rise to fame, starting from his days as part of the Jackson 5 and following his career to when the seminal Thriller album hit the scene and changed pop music forever.
Aside from being a chance to enjoy Michael Jackson’s unparalleled song library on the big screen, the film is also filled with a phenomenal cast including Colman Domingo, Miles Teller and Mike Myers. Even more impressive is the fact that Michael is played by the icon’s real-life nephew, Jafaar Jackson.
Time for a fit check with The Devil Wears Prada 2
It’s been almost 20 years since Miranda Priestly stormed into cinemas and showed us the harsh, cold world of high fashion. Watching the film has now become a rite of passage for any young professional, as it’s inevitable that we all work for a Miranda Priestly at some point or another, and the film’s message of finding what’s important to you is timeless.
This long-awaited sequel sees Anne Hathaway’s Andy Sachs drawn into working for Miranda once more in an attempt to steer Runway through the issues that plague publications in the age of new media. All of the film’s stars are back including Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci, and something tells us that the wait will certainly have been worth it.

Enjoy Trolls for just £2 a ticket
If you need to keep the family entertained over the weekend but you’re tied to a budget then fear not as the modern Dreamworks classic Trolls is back, and tickets for adults and children are just £2 per person. That means you could take a family of four and still have change left over from a £10 note.
Bringing the iconic troll dolls to life, Trolls features an unbeatable cast including Anna Kendrick, Justin Timberlake and Zooey Deschanel. It’s also responsible for the absolute banger that is ‘Can’t Stop the Feeling!’, and there’s a good chance that you and the family will be singing the song at full volume on the drive home (don’t say we didn’t warn you).
Billie Eilish directed by James Cameron? Yes please
The Swifties had the Eras Tour, and now the Billie Eilish fandom gets to celebrate in style with a 3D screening of the Hit Me Hard and Soft Tour. Directed by none other than Hollywood legend James Cameron and Eilish herself, the film jumps between never-before-seen backstage footage and recordings of the tour with all the stunning stagecraft that went with it.
With the film being made for 3D, you can feel like you’re right there in the room with thousands of other screaming fans, except this time you can enjoy Billie Eilish’s biggest hits with cinema-grade surround sound and plenty of popcorn. Even if you’re not yet a fan of Billie Eilish’s work, this film will offer you a chance to see what all the fuss is about.

Experience a Steven Spielberg classic on the big screen
Very few directors have left their mark on the world of cinema quite like Steven Spielberg. From jaw-dropping action to adaptations of unbelievable true stories, Spielberg’s catalogue of films is exemplary, which is why we’re running a Steven Spielberg Film Season to offer fans a chance to catch his greatest hits on the big screen once more. As luck would have it, the season actually starts this May bank holiday with Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
Without giving too much away, the film depicts the chaos that unfolds when an unidentified flying object makes a brief appearance on Earth and a young boy is abducted at the same time. The film came out years before E.T. and Minority Report, but it showed how seamlessly Spielberg could tap into science fiction for storytelling and suspense that would leave you on the edge of your seat. If you haven’t yet seen the film then this is the perfect time to get caught up on a classic.
