And so begins the holiday movie season, where big, four-quadrant blockbusters and indie-darling awards contenders compete for attention. November has a pretty great mix of both, from epic fantasies to high-octane action flicks and thoughtful dramas, and we wanted to know what you’re most excited for.
As it turned out, the votes were fairly evenly spread out between the top five choices, and every other film battled for scraps. Read on to see what you picked as the 5 Most Anticipated Movies of November!
Release Date: November 21, 2025
It’s no surprise why moviegoers voted Wicked: For Good as one of the most anticipated movies of the month. Fans of the classic The Wizard of Oz and the hit Broadway musical spinoff Wicked won’t have to wait long for the conclusion of its film adaptation. Closely following the 2024 theatrical release of Wicked: Part One, Part Two wraps up the story that follows Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo) as she navigates her identity as the “Wicked Witch of the West” while facing Glinda (Ariana Grande), the Good Witch of the North.
Release Date: November 14, 2025
Edgar Wright brings us a new adaptation of the Stephen King sci-fi novel, which first made it onto the big screen in the form of an Arnold Schwarzenegger action extravaganza in 1987. Wright has pledged to make his film more faithful to the original story, as the Schwarzenegger film only took loose inspiration from it, and he’s employed the talents of rising star Glen Powell and Katy O’Brian, who appeared together in Twisters.
3. Frankenstein
Release Date: November 7, 2025
Oscar-winning director Guillermo del Toro adapts Mary Shelley’s classic tale of Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant but egotistical scientist who brings a creature to life in a monstrous experiment that ultimately leads to the undoing of both the creator and his tragic creation.
Release Date: November 7, 2025
Rounding out our list is Predator: Badlands. The next installment of the Predator franchise is set to hit theaters at the beginning of the month. The film is directed by Dan Trachtenberg, who also helmed the last installment, 2022’s Prey. Badlands stars Elle Fanning, and is set to take place in the far future.
5. Zootopia 2
Release Date: November 26, 2025
Nearly 10 years after the first installment, the sequel to Zootopia follows detectives Judy Hopps (Ginnifer Goodwin) and Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman) as they find themselves on the trail of a mysterious reptile who arrives and turns the city upside down, forcing Judy and Nick to go undercover to crack the case.
