2025 is here. The good news is the start of a new year gives us a clean slate of films to look forward to. The bad news is the first two months of the year are the traditional Movie Siberia: where films deemed not good enough for Summer or an awards push are sent to die. This year is no different, with a few possible bright spots. Here is what is coming to the big screen for the first month of 2025:
DEN OF THIEVES 2: PANTERA – This direct sequel to the 2018 action film (which has nothing to do with the heavy metal band), has Gerard Butler tracking down a thief in Europe. O’Shea Jackson Jr. co-stars.
SEPTEMBER 5 – This historical drama recounts the events of the Munich massacre at the 1972 Olympics from the perspective of the ABC broadcast crew. Peter Sarsgaard stars.
WOLF MAN – Leigh Whannell (creator of the SAW franchise), directs this re-imagining of the classic Universal monster, with a father turning into a wolf and stalking his own family.
FLIGHT RISK – Mel Gibson directs this thriller about a pilot (Mark Wahlberg), hired to fly a U.S. Marshall (Michelle Dockery, of DOWNTON ABBEY fame), and her prisoner (Topher Grace).
SE7EN – David Fincher’s classic crime thriller gets a restored, IMAX re-release for its 30th anniversary.
