November 2026 Movie Releases
This November, YA fans can give thanks for the return of Panem with The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, and the Focker family's latest foibles, with Johnny Depp also returning to the big screen with horror director Ti West for a new take on Charles Dickens' Christmas Carol. We also have Sly and Rocky's returns (sorta) in the biopic I Play Rocky. Perhaps the biggest (literal) return comes from a certain fire-breathing monster, though...

December 2026 Movie Releases
The most wintery wonderland-y part of 2026 will indeed feature a visit from Santa Claus, or at least the version played by David Harbour. One of the most star-studded movies of any given year will also arrive on Christmas Day itself, with Anthony and Joe Russo's return to the MCU for Avengers: Doomsday. although some fans have taken to calling it Dunesday, given the shared release date with Denis Villeneuve's third sci-fi epic.
