Alicia Silverstone and Oliver Hudson star in ‘A Merry Little Ex-Mas,’ a new holiday romantic comedy directed by Steve Carr. The film will be available to stream on Netflix starting November 12th.

Derek Cianfrance’s film ‘Roofman,’ starring Channing Tatum, tells the story of Jeffrey Manchester, a real-life burglar known for breaking into homes and hiding on rooftops. The movie, which includes details about the actual crime and how it was made, premiered in theaters on October 10th, with tickets going on sale beforehand. It became available to stream and rent digitally on November 11th after its theatrical release.

‘The Fantastic 4: First Steps’ (2025)

Marvel Studios’ ‘The Fantastic Four: First Steps,’ directed by Matt Shakman, features Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Joseph Quinn as the iconic team. The film was scheduled to release in theaters on July 25th, including premium formats. Marketing materials showcase the film’s credits, character details, and the evolution of its poster art. After its theatrical run, the film will become available through standard home video and streaming channels.

‘A House of Dynamite’ (2025)

As a film buff, I recently checked out Kathryn Bigelow’s ‘A House of Dynamite,’ and it’s a really gripping procedural about how the U.S. handles a potential incoming missile threat. It first showed at the Venice Film Festival, then had a wider release in theaters during October, and now it’s available to stream on Netflix as of October 24th. The cast is fantastic, featuring Idris Elba, Jared Harris, Tracy Letts, and Gabriel Basso – a solid ensemble all around. I found details about its release and who worked on it through festival coverage and standard movie listings.

‘Nuremberg’ (2025)

James Vanderbilt’s new film, ‘Nuremberg,’ is a courtroom drama depicting the trials following World War II. The movie stars Rami Malek, Russell Crowe, and Michael Shannon. It will premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival before its release on November 7th. Additional coverage includes interviews about the film’s creation and historical context, as well as a complete list of the cast and crew.

‘Bugonia’ (2025)

Yorgos Lanthimos’s film ‘Bugonia’ is an English-language remake of the South Korean movie ‘Save the Green Planet!’ The story centers around two young men convinced of a conspiracy who kidnap a CEO, believing him to be an alien. Details about the actors and filmmakers involved are available, and promotional materials explain the film’s origins and its place within the science fiction genre.

‘Now You See Me: Now You Don’t’ (2025)

The latest installment in the ‘Now You See Me’ series, titled ‘Now You Don’t,’ features the return of Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher, Dave Franco, and Morgan Freeman. Joining them are new cast members Ariana Greenblatt, Justice Smith, Rosamund Pike, and Dominic Sessa. Ruben Fleischer is directing the film, which was primarily shot in Budapest, and it will be released in theaters on November 14th. Details about returning and new characters are available from the studio and on film websites.

‘Playdate’ (2025)

The new movie ‘Playdate,’ directed by Luke Greenfield and written by Neil Goldman, stars Kevin James and Alan Ritchson, with Sarah Chalke and Alan Tudyk in supporting roles. The film starts with a normal playdate between families, but quickly turns into an exciting and action-packed chase. Details about the movie and its cast have been officially announced, and early previews show a focus on action and increasingly impressive stunts.

‘Predator: Badlands’ (2025)

I just got a sneak peek at Dan Trachtenberg’s ‘Predator: Badlands,’ and it’s a really interesting take on the franchise. Trachtenberg co-wrote the script with Patrick Aison, and they’ve flipped the script, so to speak. Instead of focusing on humans being hunted, we’re seeing the Predator world itself, following a young, exiled Predator named Dek. Elle Fanning is part of the cast, which is exciting. It’s hitting theaters November 7th, and something I found surprising – it’s rated PG-13. Apparently, they’ve moved away from the extreme gore the series is known for, opting for a different kind of storytelling. The studio’s been sharing details about the team and the overall concept, and it sounds like they’re really trying something new here.

‘The Running Man’ (2025)

Glen Powell stars in Edgar Wright’s reimagining of Stephen King’s ‘The Running Man’. Paramount Pictures first showed a preview at CinemaCon in April, followed by trailers released in July and October to coincide with New York Comic Con. The film also features Colman Domingo and Lee Pace, and details like the running time and where to watch it are available on the official website.

‘One Battle After Another’ (2025)

Paul Thomas Anderson’s new film, ‘One Battle After Another,’ stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, Benicio del Toro, and a talented ensemble cast. Released in late September by Warner Bros., the movie centers around a story of a missing spouse and their kidnapped daughter. Early reviews have been very positive, and details about the cast and storyline are now widely available.

‘Frankenstein’ (2025)

Guillermo del Toro’s new film, ‘Frankenstein,’ features Oscar Isaac, Jacob Elordi, Christoph Waltz, and Mia Goth. It first premiered at the Venice Film Festival on August 30th, and was later shown at festivals in Toronto, Busan, and London. Select theaters, including some IMAX and 35mm locations, began showing the film on October 17th, followed by its release on Netflix worldwide on November 7th. You can find official cast information and how to watch on Netflix.
