2022 is officially in the history books, and what’s on the horizon for 2023 looks nothing short of legendary. That is not hyperbole. The slate of films set for release this year seem like the universe aligned to keep film fans smiling for a full calendar year. Two very big months look to be March and June and there will be some heavy competition for your dollars on the silver screen.
It’s no surprise that a lot of tent pole films will be sequels or superhero titles (or both) but there’s also some highly anticipated features coming from mega-star directors. To us, this is a pretty eyebrow-raising list but no means is this comprehensive – there are a bunch of films in post production so there are no trailers at the time of this posting (for instance, we’re really excited to see Killers of the Flower Moon).
So if you haven’t done a deep dive for yourself, allow us to highlight nearly a dozen titles that we think will change cinema and make this year one people will talk about for decades. We look forward to being surprised, entertained and delighted.
