3 Great New HBO Max Movies to Watch in June 2026, Ranked by IMDb Score

If you're an HBO Max subscriber, you might be tempted to unsubscribe. After all, with no new Euphoria and The Pitt episodes to look forward to, why keep it?

But the Warner Bros.-owned streamer is more just a platform for great shows – it has some pretty decent films as well, especially in June.

Using IMDb's user-generated cumulative scores, Watch With Us has ranked the three best new HBO Max movies to watch this June.

From horror flicks like Undertone to the animated comedy Isle of Dogs, the streamer has a diverse slate of high-quality films that rivals what's on Netflix and Prime Video.

3. ‘Undertone' (2025)

IMDb rating: 7.8

In the near future, a violent strain of canine flu has crippled Japan, and all dogs are quarantined to the "Isle of Dogs," Trash Island. One of the first dogs sent there is Spots Koboyashi (Liev Schrieber), the guard dog to a politician's 12-year-old nephew, Atari Koboyashi (Koyu Rankin). Atari is determined to get his beloved pooch bag, so he hijacks a plane and travels to the island to rescue Spots. But with an island full of hostile dogs, Atari will have to convince them to help him on his quest to save Spots and bring him back home.

Following the success of the stop-motion animated film The Fantastic Mr. Fox, director Wes Anderson went back to the genre to craft another tale of brave animals banding together. In contrast to Fox's bright colors and warm, familial atmosphere, Isle of Dogs is grayer, colder and a bit darker; while technically a kid's film, there's an opening cat decapitation and some lethal sushi that's best not consumed. But it's ultimately a charming comedy about good animals triumphing over bad humans, with an impressive vocal cast that includes Scarlett Johansson, Bill Murray and even Yoko Ono.
