With the spooky season now over, November 2026 will kick off the holiday season with a movie perfect for Christmas, along with a new Godzilla movie, a new chapter in the world of The Hunger Games, a new Disney animated movie, and more. As the final months of 2026 arrive, so do some of the most anticipated movies of the year and a couple of surprises. 2026 has been, overall, a great year for movies, and there are still exciting projects from different genres set for a late 2026 release.

October 2026 brought a variety of movies to theaters, most notably horror movies right on time for Halloween, such as Other Mommy and Clayface. Other notable movies that hit theaters throughout October are Alejandro González Iñárritu’s Digger, Aaron Sorkin’s The Social Reckoning, the action comedy Street Fighter, a new adaptation of Sense and Sensibility, and the very unique romantic fantasy movie Wicker.

November won’t have more horror movies, but it will kick off the holiday season with a new take on Charles Dickens’ classic A Christmas Carol, a new adaptation of Dr. Seuss’ The Cat in the Hat, the latest entry in the Hunger Games franchise, a couple of biographical dramas, and the long-awaited return of Brad Pitt’s Cliff Booth.
