In Mood's data, 37 films are playing across 65 open-air screens in July 2026. Toy Story 5 is the most-screened title (35 showings on 19 screens), with the thrillers Obsession, Pressure and Fuze close behind and the Greek comedy circuit represented too. The late-night revival strand runs Amélie, Hitchcock's Psycho and Almodóvar's Women on the Verge. The full schedule, by film and by cinema, is on Mood.
