2021 Movie Release Calendar: What's Coming To Theaters |

Update (Friday, June 25 11:23am): Warner Bros. has swapped release dates around for three of their movies. Denis Villeneuve’s highly-anticipated Dune moves from October 1, 2021 to October 22, 2021. Cry Macho, which was previously in the spot Dune just moved to, now moves up a month to September 17th. Lastly, Sopranos sequel The Many Saints of Newark moves back a week from the weekend of September 24th to take the October 1st weekend spot Dune just vacated. All of this is primed for the smaller movies to take advantage of weekends with less competition while giving the necessarily visual effects-heavy Dune a few more weeks to polish VFX.

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. We’ve also added 2022’s big movie releases, and previously released 2021 movies can be found at the bottom.
