5 Anticipated Movies Coming This November

Take That Halloween Candy To The Movies

November may seem like a quiet month, with Halloween having just concluded and the hustle and bustle of holiday season approaching slowly, but what better way to spend a gap month than at the movies getting caught up on all these exciting releases that are sure to keep you entertained. We’re counting down 5 new and long-awaited movie releases of this month, some of which are even receiving award buzz and others are simply fan favourites we’re more than ready to hit the theatres for.

#5: “Bohemian Rhapsody”

Release Date: November 2, 2018 [U.S.]

This Queen biopic had a fascinating production to say the least. After spending years in development hell, Bryan Singer signed on to direct. Due to several behind the scene problems, though, Singer was fired and replaced with Dexter Fletcher. The film also lost its long-intended star, Sacha Baron Cohen, along the way. With so many complications, can the filmmakers emerge as champions or will another one bite the dust? If the buzz surrounding Rami Malek’s performance as Freddie Mercury is any indication, we’re confident that “Bohemian Rhapsody” could still end up being magnifico.

#4: “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald”

Release Date: November 16, 2018 [U.S.]

“Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” won the Tony Award for Best Play in June 2018 and now the “Fantastic Beasts” sequel is set to make a mint at the box office. The magic of this franchise simply never runs out. Granted, “The Crimes of Grindelwald” has received some backlash due to the casting of Johnny Depp. However, the film is still sure to expand upon J. K. Rowling’s wizarding world in a satisfying way with the introductions of Jude Law as a young Albus Dumbledore and Brontis Jodorowsky as Nicolas Flamel.

#3: “Creed II”

Release Date: November 21, 2018 [U.S.]

“Creed” was the spin-off/sequel nobody knew they wanted, breathing new life into the “Rocky” series while also remaining true to its roots. Due to his commitment to “Black Panther,” Ryan Coogler was unable to direct the sequel. Michael B. Jordan is back as Adonis Creed, however, this time going up against the son of Ivan Drago, who, as you might remember, killed his father in the ring over 30 years ago. Sure, the plot may sound a little contrived, but that didn’t stop its predecessor from delivering a knockout.

#2: “Boy Erased”

Release Date: November 2, 2018 [U.S.]

Joel Edgerton’s adaptation of Garrard Conley’s memoir of the same title is receiving an uproar of critical acclaim after its debut at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival. The film is another one released this year that confronts the subject of conversion therapy, alongside “The Miseducation of Cameron Post,” directed by Desiree Akhavana. While both films are set in the recent past, the issues and concerns at the forefront are frighteningly current. According to The New York Times, only fourteen states and the District of Columbia have outlawed conversion therapy, “which still leaves a lot of young people vulnerable to the kind of treatment Jared undergoes”. Rolling Stone went on to praise the film saying “Boy Erased hits you like a shot”, with Lucas Hedges, Nicole Kidman and Russell Crowe working together in perfect harmony.

#1: “Ralph Breaks the Internet”

Release Date: November 21, 2018 [U.S.]

When it was announced that a “Wreck-It Ralph” sequel was in development, we expected to just get a few more video game character cameos. Disney has opened up the floodgates for “Ralph Breaks the Internet,” though, making room for all of their major properties to pop up. With characters from Star Wars, Marvel, the Disney Princess line, and numerous others making appearances, this has the potential to be the most mind-blowing crossover of the year, which is saying a lot since we already got “Avengers: Infinity War.”
