Summer blockbuster season is over, but that doesn't mean you have to stop going to the cinema, as there's still a whole stack of 2025 movie release dates you can add to your calendar. The second half of the year brings plenty of exciting new movies and sequels, from comedy to horror to sci-fi.

However, as the days get shorter and the nights grow longer, that only means one thing. Spooky season is upon us, and it's starting earlier this year.

So, to make your life a little easier, we've compiled a comprehensive list of all the most important 2025 movie release dates that should be on your radar, as well as where you can watch these upcoming movies.
