New Disney classics, blockbuster sequels and more; there are so many films hitting the silver screen in 2024! Here are all the new family movies you'll want to watch with the kids this year.
Sitting in relative peace and quiet with a big bucket of popcorn on a trip to the movies is one of our favourite easy activities to do with the kids (it’s also a great way to sneak in a mum time-out power nap…). So when the rain is pouring, and you’re looking for wet day winners, or it’s super hot weather and you just want a rest in the air con for a few hours, you’re going to need this list of all the new movies at the cinema scheduled for release in Singapore in 2024.
Where to watch movies on the big screen in Singapore
If you’re looking for a cinema in Singapore, there are several options to choose from, and you are sure to find a complex near you.
Shaw Theatres
Shaw Theatres have regular cinema halls, but they also offer huge IMAX screens, a Lumiere experience with roomy leather recliners, and Dreamers, which is the first theatre designed with families in mind. There are comfy sofas, and kids are easily forgiven for popcorn spills and being a little noisier than in a typical cinema!
Golden Village
Golden Village cinemas are scattered throughout the island, and they also offer a Gold Class option with plush reclining seats, a lightweight blanket, and premium food and beverage choices. This is great for a date night or a special movie moment!
The Projector
The Projector at Golden Mile Tower is primarily known for screening art house films and has an old-world vibe, however they do show the occasional blockbuster! Often there are combined screenings with talks and thought provoking discussions.

DATE NIGHT: Deadpool & Wolverine (Deadpool 3)
Deadpool is back for his third instalment! ICYMI, in real life Ryan Reynolds (who plays Deadpool), is in a love-hate Instagram relationship with Hugh Jackman (Wolverine), and they’ve been trading faux insults back and forth for years. The two are actually great friends, and together with their other good friend Shawn Levy (Director), came up with the premise of this third Deadpool film. We can’t wait to see what these uber-creative comedic minds have in store for us. If the trailer is anything to go by, we can expect the same tongue in cheek humour that Deadpool is famous for, and a bit of violence and coarse language. This is one for the millenials!
Deadpool & Wolverine, Rating M18

Inside Out 2
The year of sequels continues with the soon-to-be-released Inside Out 2! Amy Poehler returns as the voice of Joy, along with the original cast who voice the emotions of sadness, anger, disgust and fear. But Riley is a teenager now, and new emotions enter the mix! We meet anxiety, envy, boredom and embarrassment (complete with sweaty palms). The story follows Riley as she begins high school, and navigates all of the challenges that come along with it. We see her quite literally suppress her emotions, as they strive to return to some semblance of normalcy. On their adventure, they even have to cross the ‘sar-chasm’ (we love this part!).

Along with his wife Lucy and three adopted girls Margot, Edith and Agnes, and baby Gru Jr, the family is forced to go on the run when they become targeted by escaped criminal Maxime Le Mal (voiced by Will Ferrell) and his femme fatale girlfriend Valentina (voiced by Sofia Vergara). We’re so excited for this one!

The live-action film from Disney continues the story of Simba, who is now King of Pride Rock, and determined for his new cub to follow in his footsteps (or paw prints!) Interwoven, we learn about Mufasa’s journey to becoming king. We already feel like this is going to be a tear-jerker.

Snow White
Disney’s latest live action remake is steeped in controversy. With the ultimate OG Disney Princess, Snow White, set for a revamp, audiences everywhere are up in arms after the Teaser Trailer was released. There has been uproar about the actors playing the seven dwarves, that have now been transformed to CGI. The lead actors, Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot, have made some disparaging comments about the original film and the storyline, with Rachel (aka Snow White), even calling Prince Charming a ‘stalker’. Despite all of this, we will still be watching this one with anticipation!
