November’s most anticipated films: Napoleon invades, The Marvels takes flight, and more
Get ready for a return to The Hunger Games, tune in as Disney makes a Wish, and listen up for Maestro
Film Features Films
Even though Hollywood strikes—one ongoing, one ended—have created turmoil on movie release calendars, November is still shaping up to be a strong month for films, We’ve got sequels, prequels, and awards hopefuls, meaning everyone should be cinematically satiated during turkey month. The Marvels will test whether superhero fatigue is real (even if it is, Ms. Marvel fatigue should never be a thing), while the prodigiously titled The Hunger Games: The Ballad Of Songbirds And Snakes will test our interest in the franchise without Jennifer Lawrence’s Katniss Everdeen. Meanwhile, film festival darlings from earlier this year are finally making their way to theaters, including director Sofia Coppola’s eagerly awaited Priscilla, about Elvis Presley’s former wife, and Saltburn, director Emerald Fennell’s anticipated follow-up to her Oscar-winning Promising Young Woman. Plus, as the sprig of parsley atop your Thanksgiving turkey we have a priceless Nicolas Cage continuing his slow climb out of movie purgatory with Dream Scenario. So there’s no excuse not to stuff yourself full of movies this November.

Don’t forget David Fincher has a new movie (The Killer) coming out on Netflix in November, too. Going back to the crime thriller, which is where he’s at his best IMO.
The Killer comes out October 27th in theatres, thus making it an October movie.
managed to get a ticket to one of the, like, 5 theatrical showings they’re doing.
The Killer is coming out in theatres this Friday, making it an October release.
So, Marvels in IMAX, and wait to stream the rest. Ideally, I’d be watching Dune 2 for the 2nd or 3rd time. Alas.
I’ll send up seeing Wish in theaters as well because Kids but other then that, yeah
oh i think napoleon will be an absolute feast in theatres, and i’ll be showing up for todd haynes and sophia coppolla. dream scenario and saltburn could be interesting, too. big month!
And that’s really only if you have free points through Fandango or something. That’s definitely one to catch in a few months on streaming.
“Nicolas Cage’s batting average seems to be improving as of late. Cage, the king of tax burden cinema, has mostly righted the ship by starring in post-modern comedies like The Unbearable Weight Of Massive Talent and stumbling into the occasional bad-ass horror film like Mandy.”
Yep, 2-for-26 is a great batting average.
I’m intrigued by the Napoleon movie, but I’m wary of both how “English” its message is.
OK, I seriously thought The Marvels came out this summer. Shows where I’m at, Marvel-wise.
I believe it was supposed to be summer and got moved out. Some of the toys/merch dropped around then such as the McDonalds promotion so maybe you saw that.
I thought it was going to be a streaming series until a month or two ago.
I thought they shelved it.
I’ve been seeing the ads for Thanksgiving, and wondering if it had anything to do with Grindhouse’s (best) fake trailer. I’m a little surprised it does, because it doesn’t seem so. At least when they did Machete, they maintained its tone.
“Grindhouse’s (second best) fake trailer”Fixed that little booboo for ya.
“At least when they did Machete, they maintained its tone.”
The trailer was for a slasher, the movie is a slasher.
If nothing else, the tone is EXACTLY the same.
You’re really wrong today…
Iam waiting to watch marvel movie.@landwey
So May December, is basically a different take on Black Swan.Also good to see Eli Roth bring back Rick Hoffman from Hostel fame.Hoffman loves to fuck shit up.
The only one I am mostly intrigued by is Napoleon. Marvels feels like it came and went forever ago. The first Wish trailer had me interested, but the latest one far less so for some reason. I agree with others that the Thanksgiving films looks too different in tone from the original fake one, which makes sense sense the original was only ever intended to BE a trailer.
The Holdovers opens in wider release on the 10th as well.
The review embargo for the Marvels isn’t lifting until like 48 hours before the release of the movie…. which isn’t a good sign.
Ridley Scott blows hot and cold as a filmmaker. His films always look great from a visual pov. I rarely go to the movies these days. Too many marvel films over three hours long. Ant man quantumania and black panther wankanda were too of the most over hyped movies I saw on Disney plus. I feel bad for ryan coogler that Disney gave him no time to grieve the loss of chadwick boseman
I’m aa sucker for the life of Napoleon so that’s the one I’m looking forward to the most on this list.
