10 Films to Watch at SM Cinema in November 2026

Looking for where to watch movies in Manila? SM Cinema is stacked in November. Two K-pop events, Filipino cinema at its most anticipated, blockbusters in IMAX and Screen X, and ten films for every moviegoer. 

For things to do indoors or ideas on where to hang out this weekend, Manila or anywhere else in the country, here is everything worth watching.

GODZILLA MINUS ZERO (November 4)

Genre: Sci-Fi / Action / Kaiju

Cast: Masami Nagasawa, Jun Kunimura

Japan, 1949. The war is over but the country is barely standing when Godzilla comes back. Takashi Yamazaki, who won the Oscar for Godzilla Minus One, returns to the same devastated Japan with one question: how do you fight something like this when you have nothing left? Shot natively for IMAX and premiering at the 64th New York Film Festival,  this one picks up where Minus One left off.

RAMAYANA: RISE OF A LEGEND (November 5, SM Exclusive)

Genre: Animated Epic / Adventure

Cast: Ranbir Kapoor, Yash, Sai Pallavi, Sunny Deol, Ravi Dubey

The demon king Ravana kidnaps Sita and takes her to his kingdom across the sea. Prince Rama, stripped of his throne and armed with nothing but a bow and a sense of duty, sets out to bring her home. What follows is a war between worlds. Nitesh Tiwari brings it to animated life at a scale built for IMAX and Screen X, with a score co-written by AR Rahman and Hans Zimmer. Ranbir Kapoor voices Rama, Yash plays Ravana, Sai Pallavi is Sita, and Sunny Deol brings Hanuman to life. This SM exclusive is a gala to the max and one of the most visually ambitious animated epics in Philippine cinema this year.

THE CAT IN THE HAT (November 6)

Genre: Animated Fantasy / Comedy

Cast: Bill Hader, Xochitl Gomez, America Ferrera, Giancarlo Esposito, Quinta Brunson

Gabby and Sebastian are new in town. They do not know anyone. Nothing is going right. Then a tall cat in a striped hat crashes through their door to fix their afternoon. Bill Hader voices the Cat in Warner Bros.’ animated take on the Dr. Seuss classic, built to kick off an entire Seussiverse. Funny, inventive, and perfect for a family day at your shopping mall with cinema.

REMEMBER (November 11)

Two people who once loved each other find themselves in the same place years later, carrying everything that happened between them.

This one carries the same creative team and the same emotional ambition. Watch it with your barkada or on a date, and bring the tissues. Whether you need indoor date ideas in Metro Manila or anywhere else in the Philippines, Remember is it.

WILDWOOD (November 11, SM Exclusive)

Genre: Animated Fantasy / Adventure

Cast: Peyton Elizabeth Lee, Jacob Tremblay, Carey Mulligan, Mahershala Ali, Awkwafina, Angela Bassett

Prue’s baby brother is snatched by a murder of crows and carried into the Wildwood, a forbidden forest at the edge of Portland that nobody enters. Prue goes in anyway, and so does her classmate Curtis. What they find inside is not only trees: it is an entire hidden world with its own rulers, its own war, and its own reason for wanting Prue’s brother. Directed by Travis Knight for LAIKA with 231 hand-crafted puppets and 136 built sets, this PG-13 stop-motion epic is the longest of its kind ever made. This one’s another SM exclusive and one of November’s most unforgettable films.

Cast: Joseph Zada, Whitney Peak, McKenna Grace, Jesse Plemons, Ralph Fiennes, Elle Fanning

Before Katniss ever stepped into an arena, there was Haymitch. Set 24 years earlier during the 50th Hunger Games, this prequel follows young Haymitch Abernathy (Joseph Zada), a quiet boy from District 12 thrown into a Games designed to be twice as brutal. Whitney Peak plays Lenore Dove. McKenna Grace is Maysilee Donner. Ralph Fiennes returns as a younger Coriolanus Snow.

Fujino draws the class comic strip and is proud of it, until her teacher hands out a sketchbook from Kyomoto, a girl who never shows up to school. The drawings stop Fujino cold.

Based on Tatsuki Fujimoto’s one-shot manga and directed by Hirokazu Kore-eda, Look Back is a live-action film about making art and what it means to have someone who sees you through it. Quiet, devastating, another SM exclusive.

HEXED (November 25)

Genre: Animated Fantasy / Adventure

Cast: Hailee Steinfeld, Rashida Jones, Jim Hanks

Billie Doe is a teenager with real magical powers who has cast a spell she cannot undo alone. The only way to fix it is to work with her mother, which turns out to be harder than the magic itself. Directed by Fawn Veerasunthorn and Jason Hand for Walt Disney Animation Studios, Hexed is sharp, funny, and earns every beat. This is a great family day activity at SM to close out the month.
