As we’ve seen in the past month or two, the return to theaters has been a long time coming. October showed out with some seriously heavy hitting releases such as Venom: Let There Be Carnage, Halloween Kills, Dune, The French Dispatch, and Last Night in Soho. Despite the momentum of October movie releases slowing down a bit, we’ll still be getting a handful of highly-anticipated movies going into the holiday season.

Eternals

Release date: November 5, 2021

Where to watch it: In theaters (will be available to stream on Disney+ after 45 days)

Marvel’s The Eternals, directed by Academy Award-winning director, Chloe Zhao, follows an immortal alien race created by the Celestials (basically gods) who have dwelled anonymously on Earth for the past 7,000 years. They were instructed and all told to explicitly promise to refrain from interfering in any conflicts — which included The Blip that Thanos and the Infinity Stones caused. But now, in the present-day, they resurface and reunite to protect the world from an impending threat posed by their evil counterparts — the Deviants. Fingers crossed that they will mention the X-Men.

Ghostbusters: Afterlife

Release date: November 19, 2021

Where to watch it: In theaters

The new spin-off of the classic 1984 film tells the story of a single mother and her two children who move to a new town, where they soon discover that they have a connection to the original Ghostbusters and their grandfather’s secret legacy. Taking over for his father (the director of Ghostbusters and Ghostbuster 2), Juno director Jason Reitman has written a completely new sci-fi story starring Paul Rudd, Finn Wolfhard, and McKenna Grace.

House of Gucci

Release date: November 24, 2021

Where to watch it: In theaters (will be available for purchase on EPIX and Paramount+ after release)

Based on Sara Gay Forden’s book The House of Gucci: A Sensational Story of Murder, Madness, Glamour and Greed, director Ridley Scott will take us on a thrilling journey filled with “money, family, power, betrayal, sex, loyalty, scandal, ambition”… and “murder!” Releasing on Gucci’s 100th anniversary, this dark tale packs an A-List cast list consisting of Adam Driver, Lady Gaga, Jared Leto, Salma Hayek, Al Pacino, and Jeremy Irons.

In other movie-related news, Justin Chon’s Blue Bayou faces backlash with allegations of a stolen adoptee story, Fantastic Beasts 3 finally has its new title, and Tom Holland did that thing again, where he spoils the upcoming Spider-Man: No Way Home film.
