Winter 2021 Movie Preview: Every Movie Still To Come (And Where To Watch Them)
Following the exciting premieres in October, the end of Fall and into Winter 2021’s movie schedule is stacked with films releasing in theaters and on streaming platforms. With vaccination rates increasing around the world, moviegoing has approached a somewhat more normal experience throughout Fall 2021 and into December. With box-office rates also slowly climbing again, long-awaited movies continuously delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic are finally being released to the public in November and December 2021.
The movie release slate for Fall 2021 saw an unprecedented release schedule for blockbusters and critically-acclaimed films, with many still seeing day-and-date dual theatrical and streaming releases. September, October, and early November featured the debuts of movies like No Time To Die, Dune, The French Dispatch, Last Night in Soho, The Harder They Fall, and Red Notice, among plenty of other exciting films. Considering moviegoing numbers are expected to increase over upcoming months, it’s unclear whether studios will still choose to premiere films simultaneously in theaters and online once Winter 2022 approaches.
While some of the biggest films of 2021 have already been released, audiences will have no shortage of highly anticipated and mind-blowing films in November and December. From exclusive theatrical releases to streaming-only premieres or simultaneous theatrical and streaming debuts, the remaining months of Fall and Winter 2021 only grow in momentum for long-awaited movies finally making their way to the big and small screens.
