🚀 Elio Takes Off Early

Pixar’s Elio arrives ahead of schedule with special early access screenings in theaters on Wednesday, June 18. The film follows an 11-year-old misfit who accidentally becomes Earth’s ambassador to the galaxy—and leans into Pixar’s signature blend of heart, humor, and cosmic imagination. The wide release is still to come, but fans can catch this interstellar coming-of-age tale early in select theaters.

Kristen Stewart and Steven Yeun star in Love Me, a strange and stirring sci-fi romance now streaming on Paramount+.
