UPDATE (Tues. Jan. 26 4:00pm): Trying to juggle its releases to theaters and HBO Max with the Snyder Cut of Justice League and Godzilla vs. Kong, Warner Bros. has made the decision to shift the latter by just under a week from Friday, March 26 to Wednesday, March 31. That gives GvK a little more space from Zack Snyder’s recut without having to massively rework its international or HBO Max release strategy.
It’s a new year and that means new movie releases. 2020 was tumultuous, with movie slates shifting dramatically. Quite a few big tentpoles slated to hit theaters last year were bumped to this year, while other movies always scheduled to hit theaters in 2021 also juggled around. The calendar below will likely continue to shift, at least for the first few months, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of upcoming films to get excited about.
Here’s every movie we know is coming to theaters in 2021 as of right now.
