What’s On at the Cinema: Ireland Listings & Showtimes

Picking a film can feel like flipping through a menu where everything sounds vaguely familiar. That’s especially true when a mix of blockbusters, indie gems, and remastered classics all hit screens at once — and you’re not sure which cinema has what, or whether a venue even lists showtimes online. This piece cuts through that: a roundup of what’s actually showing across Ireland right now, pulled from official cinema listings rather than third-party aggregators.

Top Current Films: Project Hail Mary, Lee Cronin’s The Mummy · Major Chains Showing: IMC, Omniplex, Lighthouse · Key Locations: Dublin, Enniskillen · Coming Soon: The Devil Wears Prada 2

Here’s how the key cinema venues and current offerings compare across Ireland.

What’s on in the cinema in Ireland at the moment?

A handful of films are showing across multiple Irish venues right now. The most widely listed is Project Hail Mary, which appears at Omniplex Dublin Rathmines with tickets from €9.95. Lee Cronin’s The Mummy — rated 18, 134 minutes — screens at both Lighthouse Cinema Dublin and Omniplex Rathmines, hitting the late-evening slots at both venues.

IMC Cinemas claims to be Ireland’s number one multiplex chain, according to its own listings. The chain’s Santry location in Dublin currently shows Michael, The Three Urns, and Lee Cronin’s The Mummy, pulling together several of the same titles that appear at Omniplex and Lighthouse.

Dublin area cinemas

Dublin hosts the widest range of options. Lighthouse Cinema Dublin’s Thursday 30 April schedule includes Father Mother Sister Brother (12A, 110 mins) at 12:00, Rose of Nevada (15A, 114 mins) at 12:30 and 20:30, The Drama (15A, 105 mins) at 13:15 and 18:00, Exit 8 (12A, 95 mins) at 14:25 and 18:30, Akira subtitled (15A, 125 mins) at 15:00 and 20:20, The Blue Trail (15A, 86 mins) at 16:30, and Lee Cronin’s The Mummy at 21:00.

Omniplex Dublin Rathmines’ Wednesday 29 April lineup covers Michael at 14:00–16:07 and 20:00–22:07, Lee Cronin’s The Mummy across three slots (15:40–17:25, 20:30–22:15, 16:30–18:05), Project Hail Mary, Bridget Jones’s Diary 25th Anniversary at 20:10–22:15, Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu (including 3D), and The Devil Wears Prada 2.

The pattern is clear: Dublin’s cinema infrastructure — from Lighthouse’s art-house leanings to Omniplex’s blockbuster focus — is well-served with current, verifiable showtime data. Enniskillen has IMC as the primary option, but the depth of publicly available listings for that location lags behind Dublin’s.

What movies are playing at the Dublin cinema?

The major Dublin multiplexes each serve different audiences. Cineworld Dublin at Parnell Centre operates 17 screens with 500 nearby parking spaces and a dedicated phone line for bookings (0818 304 204). Vue Dublin has 14 screens seating over 2,500, offering 4K, 3D, and Dolby options alongside free parking.

The two venues take different programming approaches. Lighthouse Cinema Dublin leans toward diverse, curated content — its 30 April lineup includes subtitled anime (Akira), documentary-style drama (The Blue Trail), and indie film (Rose of Nevada). Omniplex Rathmines prioritises mainstream appeal: Star Wars, Bridget Jones’s Diary, and Project Hail Mary dominate its listing.

Dundrum cinema times

Specific Dundrum locations weren’t individually listed in the verified sources. However, Entertainment.ie aggregates Dublin cinema schedules broadly, pulling in options that would cover Dundrum-area venues if they fall under Omniplex, IMC, or ODEON umbrellas.

Movies@ cinemas schedule

IMC Santry’s “today” listing — which covers approximately 30 April 2026 — shows Michael, The Three Urns, and Lee Cronin’s The Mummy, indicating that even mid-sized Dublin venues are carrying the current headline titles. The overlap between IMC Santry and Omniplex Rathmines suggests reasonable consistency across chains for widely released films.

What are the top films at the moment?

Based on cross-referencing official listings from Lighthouse Cinema, Omniplex, and IMC, the films appearing most consistently across Irish venues are:

• Project Hail Mary — Omniplex Dublin Rathmines (confirmed from €9.95), likely at other chains
• Lee Cronin’s The Mummy — Lighthouse Dublin (21:00 on 30 Apr), Omniplex Rathmines (multiple slots), IMC Santry
• Michael — Omniplex Rathmines (14:00–16:07 and 20:00–22:07 on 29 Apr), IMC Santry
• Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu — Omniplex Rathmines (including 3D)

Best movies in cinemas now

For viewers prioritising confirmed showtimes over speculation: Lighthouse Cinema Dublin’s 30 April schedule is the most granular dataset available, covering nine distinct films across the day with specific times. Omniplex Rathmines’ 29 April data is similarly detailed, with Michael, Lee Cronin’s The Mummy, and Project Hail Mary as the headline trio.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 appears in upcoming or recently added listings at Omniplex Rathmines — this suggests it’s either in pre-release preview or just opened, and warrants checking directly if it’s a priority for your visit.

The catch: the “top 10” framing implies a ranking, but no single authoritative source currently provides an aggregated Ireland-wide ranking. The closest proxy is cross-referencing multiple official cinema sites and noting which titles appear at the most venues. Based on that method, Project Hail Mary and Lee Cronin’s The Mummy lead the pack for confirmed Dublin availability.

What are the new releases at the cinema?

The Devil Wears Prada 2 is the most clearly identifiable upcoming release, appearing in Omniplex Rathmines’ confirmed listings. Its presence alongside Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu and Bridget Jones’s Diary 25th Anniversary suggests it’s either in early release or building toward a wider rollout.

Mother Mary and Hokum also appear in Lighthouse Cinema Dublin’s listings — both flagged as films showing across Dublin venues, which may indicate they’re recent or upcoming releases rather than established catalogue titles.

Coming soon highlights

IMC Santry’s “today” listing includes films beyond the confirmed showtimes — The Three Urns appears alongside Michael and Lee Cronin’s The Mummy, suggesting it may be a current/newer title at that venue.

Century Cinema venues (not individually verified in this round of research) were referenced in the content plan with listings for Hitpig, Michael, and The Magic Faraway Tree — these may represent regional availability that differs from Dublin-centric data.

What this means: if The Devil Wears Prada 2 is on your watchlist, Omniplex and Lighthouse are your best-bet venues for confirmed listing data. For Century Cinema and other regional chains, direct site visits remain the most reliable verification method — aggregated listings don’t consistently cover these venues in the current search data.

Frequently asked questions

For cinema-goers who want the most current picture, checking official cinema websites directly — Lighthouse, Omniplex, IMC, Vue — and noting their update cycles (Vue: Tuesdays) remains the most reliable approach. Aggregator sites help, but the source venues typically have the most complete and current data.
