Ramayana, King, Avengers: Doomsday — The Biggest Movie Release Dates Left in 2026

The last two months of 2026 are stacked. Bollywood has its biggest mythological epic in years, Hollywood is closing the year with a Marvel-versus-Dune collision, and Christmas week has turned into a three-way fight. Here is the confirmed calendar — every date below is taken from published release calendars, including Bollywood Hungama and Sacnilk, checked on 24 October 2026.

November 2026

The three clashes to watch

First, 18 December: Avengers: Doomsday and Dune: Part Three opening head-to-head is the kind of scheduling studios usually avoid — two of the year's biggest Hollywood titles splitting premium screens on the same Friday. Second, Christmas week in India: King on 24 December and Mahavatar on 25 December is being billed in trade coverage as the boldest Bollywood clash of the year — SRK action spectacle against a mythological epic from the director of the Stree universe. Third, the quiet one: Eetha and Ranger sharing 4 December gives audiences a prestige biopic and a mass action film on the same day, a full three weeks before the Christmas giants arrive.

Dates come from published release calendars and can move. When a listing changes, this story changes with it.

How to plan your watchlist

If you only book three cinema trips before New Year: Ramayana: Part One for the scale, one side of the 18 December clash depending on whether your heart says Marvel or Arrakis, and King on Christmas Eve for the full first-day crowd experience. Everything else can be a wait-for-the-weekend decision. We will keep this calendar updated as studios confirm, delay or shuffle their dates.
