We are now in the Fall season, but despite waving goodbye to the Summer Blockbuster months, there's still a whole stack of 2025 movie release dates you can add to your calendar. The final few months of the year bring plenty of exciting new movies and sequels, from comedy to horror to sci-fi.

October is kicking off with a bang, bringing us scary hits like a new Black Phone movie and a fresh Frankenstein. We'll also see a new anime movie later on with Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc, continuing the medium's push into the sights of new audiences following Demon Slayer's success last month. Basically, spooky season is finally here, and October boasts some of the year's most anticipated upcoming horror movies.

But remembering movie release dates can be overwhelming, especially as some previous 2025 dates have been pushed to next 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. We've also gotten a head start and have flagged the biggest 2026 release dates as well. So, without further ado, grab your popcorn, head to the multiplex, and happy watching.
