What's Your Question?

How to Find a Movie Theater Near You

If you’re ready for a fun night out at the movies, it all starts with choosing where to go and what to see. From national chains to local movie theaters, there are tons of different choices available. Here are the best ways to find a movie theater near you.

Fandango is the leader in the movie theater ticketing business. So naturally, the website is a great place to go to figure what the current movies are in theaters right now. The theater search is very simple, just enter your city or zip code. It will then populate a list of the theaters nearest to you, including all of the movies playing and their show times.

Local Discount Theaters

If seeing the new theater movie release isn’t as important as going out without breaking the bank, check out your local discount theaters. These can be more difficult to locate, because there’s no national directory of them. However, you can simply do a Google search for them. Typically called “Discount” theaters or “Second-Run” theaters, there’s typically several in most cities. If you’re a beer lover, you may be able to locate theaters that serve restaurant food and drinks rather than the usual theater fare.

In addition to housing one of the most trusted movie ratings online, IMDB offers information on movie theaters and their showtimes. Simply set your location and see a list of available theaters and showtimes. A bonus is that you can easily see the IMDB ratings for different movies, so you can have a good idea of whether something will be to your liking or not before heading out.

IMAX Theaters

IMAX theaters offer a more immersive movie experience than traditional theaters. From bigger screens, better images and realistic audio, some of the best new movies are better viewed in IMAX. It’s the best option for movie connoisseurs that simply want the ultimate experience. To check your local theater’s 3D movie schedule, check the IMAX website and enter your address under the “Find a Theatre” tab.

3D Theaters

Major movie theater chains offer Real3D movies, which are super fun for both adults and kids. Simply wear 3D goggles and enjoy an added dimension to regular flicks. AMC, Cinemark and Regal Cinemas all offer this option, which is available for select films.

The technology is all digital and theaters are typically available in major cities. Just like local discount theaters, there’s not a single comprehensive resource for the 3D theaters. So the best way to find them is on Fandango or Google.

The Most Anticipated Movies Coming in 2021

As if the pandemic and tumult of 2020 weren’t enough, last year also delayed a slew of hotly anticipated films , ranging from action blockbusters such as “Black Widow” and “No Time to Die” to the Timothée Chalamet-led sci-fi epic “Dune,” which will now release both in theaters and on HBO Max in 2021 .

Most theaters across the country have reopened their doors, letting film lovers view previously delayed releases and new films. However, many fall films are banking on hybrid release plans after the delta variant put a damper on the full-fledged return to theaters. The good news is there are numerous options for viewing the year’s hottest films.

Fall movies premiering in theaters on HBO Max on the same day include Clint Eastwood’s “Cry Macho” and “Dune,” starring Timothy Chalamet. Meanwhile, James Bond installment “No Time to Die” and Wes Anderson’s “The French Dispatch” will premiere only in theaters.

Do you wanna play a game?

Jackson and Zoie Palmer. This next chapter of “Saw” is rocked by a new criminal mastermind who unleashes a twisted form of justice. Detective Ezekiel “Zeke” Banks (Rock) works under the shadow of his father, an esteemed police veteran (Jackson), with his rookie partner (Minghella).

The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It

Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson are back as Lorraine and Ed Warren for a chilling story of terror, murder and unknown evil that shocked even the real-life paranormal investigators “The Conjuring” franchise is based on. Pulling from one of the most sensational cases from their files, “The Devil Made Me Do It” begins with the fight for a young boy’s soul and ends up taking the Warrens beyond anything they’ve ever seen before. For the first time in U.S. history, a murder suspect claims demonic possession as their defense.

Debuting both on HBO Max and in theaters, the musical drama — directed by “Crazy Rich Asians” director Jon M.

Based on the viral 2015 Twitter thread, what could possibly be this summer’s wildest movie centers on Zola (Taylour Paige), a Detroit waitress who befriends Stefani (Riley Keough), an exotic dancer who convinces her new friend to join her on a road trip to a high-end strip club in Florida where they can make a fortune in just one night of dancing.

Forever Purge

“The Purge” series is set to come to an end with its fifth movie. With no official description from Universal Pictures, the plotline is still relatively unknown.

Things take a turn when they discover a secluded beach that causes them to age rapidly— reducing their entire lives into a single day. From thriller veteran director M.

The Green Knight

The Green Knight is not this tale’s hero, but rather a gigantic emerald-skinner stranger who Sir Gawain (Dev Patel) must confront. In this fantasy adventure, King Arthur’s reckless, headstrong nephew comes face-to-face with ghosts, giants, thieves and schemers, all the while learning to better define his own character and prove his worth in the eyes of his family and the kingdom. It also features Alicia Vikander, Sean Harris and Joel Edgerton.

Jungle Cruise

Emily Blunt and Dwayne Johnson star in the adventure fantasy film based on Disneyland’s park ride where a small riverboat transports a group of travelers down the Amazon through a supernatural jungle. Watch the trailer here .

French director Leos Carax is set to make his English-language debut with “Annette,” a musical film starring Adam Driver and Marion Cotillard.

But, their lives take an unexpected turn when their daughter, Annette, is born. The film will debut at Cannes Film Festival and will then be available in theaters and on Amazon Prime in late summer.

The Suicide Squad

Directed by James Gunn and premiering on both HBO Max and in theaters, the “Suicide Squad” standalone sequel follows the comic book roots of Harley Quinn and her gang of supervillains, rather than continuing the narrative of the 2016 film. The star-studded cast features Viola Davis, Margot Robbie, Taika Waititi, Sylvester Stallone, Idris Elba, Jai Courtney and Pete Davidson.

The Kissing Booth 3

The final chapter of the rom-com trilogy, “The Kissing Booth 3” follows Elle (Joey King) as she must decide which college to attend while balancing her friendship with Lee (Joel Courtney) and relationship with Noah (Jacob Elordi). Of course, Taylor Perez returns as Marco to stir up trouble and potentially win Elle back after their kiss in the sequel. Directed by Vince Marcello, the film comes out on Aug. 11 via Netflix.

In Shawn Levy’s bright and inventive summer blockbuster “Free Guy,” Ryan Reynolds plays a video game character who doesn’t know that his world isn’t real. Somewhere between “Deadpool,” “The Matrix” and “The Lego Movie,” “Free Guy” follows what happens when an “NPC” (non-playable character) gains consciousness and falls in love. The film premieres in theaters on Aug. 13.

As the sole hearing member of a deaf family, 17-year-old Ruby (Emilia Jones) focuses her life on being the interpreter for her parents (Marlee Matlin, Troy Kotsur) and working on the family’s struggling fishing boat every day before school. She ends up joining her school’s choir and is encouraged to apply to music school when she discovers she has a gift for singing. However, Ruby comes to feel torn between her obligations to her family and the pursuit of her own dreams.

Written and directed by Neill Blomkamp, this horror thriller sees a young woman unleash terrifying demons when supernatural forces at the root of a decades old rift between mother and daughter are ruthlessly revealed. The cast includes Carly Pope, Chris William Martin and Michael Rogers.

He's All That

Addison Rae makes her feature debut in “He’s All That,” a gender-swapped reboot of the 1999 rom-com. Mark Waters, the filmmaker behind “Mean Girls” and “Freaky Friday,” directs, while R. Lee Fleming, who wrote the original movie, also penned the remake. Also starring Tanner Buchanan, Matthew Lillard, Rachael Leigh Cook, Madison Pettis and Peyton Meyer, the film is set for an Aug. 27 release on Netflix.

Audiences were deeply excited to see Nia DaCosta’s take on the “Candyman” last October, but like many films on this list, it was pushed. We’ve only seen glimpses of the director’s vision including a couple trailers and this haunting, shadow puppet short which she released with these thoughts via her Twitter account : “CANDYMAN, at the intersection of white violence and black pain, is about unwilling martyrs. The people they were, the symbols we turn them into, the monsters we are told they must have been.”

Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, who recently won an Emmy for his work on “Watchmen,” stars as the film’s lead and Oscar-winning director Jordan Peele co-wrote the script along with DaCosta and Win Rosenfeld. If you’re looking for something to tide you over until August, we strongly recommend watching DaCosta’s 2018 feature “Little Woods” (written by DaCosta as well) and getting familiar with her work – you’re going to be hearing a lot from her, as she’s already slated to direct the sequel to “Captain Marvel.”

Featuring a star-studded cast of Camilla Cabello, Nicholas Galitzine, Billy Porter, Idina Menzel, James Corden, John Mulaney and Pierce Bronson, the classic Disney princess film chronicles the fairytale in a revamped, modern twist. Instead of having her biggest goal be finding her Prince Charming, Cinderella — with the help of her Fab G (Porter) — has a bigger ambition of making it as a fashion designer. The film is set to premiere on Sept. 3 on Amazon Prime Video.

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings

Another installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, “Just Mercy” director Destin Daniel Cretton introduces Shang-Chi (Simu Liu), a master martial artist. Co-starring Awkwafina, Michelle Yeoh, Florian Munteanu and more, this will be the first MCU film with a mostly Asian and Asian American cast.

Set in 1978, a former rodeo star and horse breeder takes a job to bring an ex-boss’ young son home and out of the hands of his alcoholic mom. The pair face a challenging journey as they cross over from rural Mexico to Texas and all the while the horseman has a chance at redemption by teaching the boy the meaning of being a good man. Clint Eastwood directs and star.

The Eyes of Tammy Faye

Starring Andrew Garfield and Jessica Chastain, “The Eyes of Tammy Faye,” based on a true story, follows the life of mega-televangelists Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker in their colorful, clean-cut world. Being positioned as trusted, spiritual leaders takes a toll on the couple as financial improprieties, a sex scandal and rivals break up their marriage — and their empire. With props to the hair and makeup artists of the film, Garfield and Chastain look unrecognizable as their characters grow older throughout the years.

Everybody’s Talking About Jamie

Adapted from the popular West End musical, “Everybody’s Talking About Jamie” brings viewers into the world of Jamie New, a teenager from Sheffield who dreams of life on stage. As he gets mentored by a local drag queen legend, Jamie dives into the world of glamour, while also dealing with his unsupportive father and ignorant classmates. The cast stars Max Harwood as Jamie New, Sarah Lancashire, Lauren Patel, Shobna Gulati, Ralph Inseson, Adeel Ahktar, Samuel Bottomely, Sharon Horgan and Richard E. Grant. The film will premiere on Sept. 17 on Amazon Prime Video.

Dear Evan Hansen

Ben Platt returns in his Tony-winning titular role in the big-screen adaptation of the Broadway musical hit created by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul. “Dear Evan Hansen” follows Evan Hansen, an anxious and isolated high school student who gets caught in a complicated lie after one of his classmates commits suicide.

The Many Saints of Newark

The prequel to HBO’s wildly successful series “The Sopranos,” “The Many Saints of Newark” depicts the 1967 riots in Newark, N.J. and the tension between the town’s Italian and Black communities. Directed by Alan Taylor, who also helmed several episodes of “The Sopranos,” the film stars Alessandro Nivola, Leslie Odom Jr., Jon Bernthal, Corey Stoll, Michael Gandolfini, Billy Magnussen, John Magaro, Michela De Rossi, Ray Liotta and Vera Farmiga. “The Sopranos” creator David Chase is also on board as a producer and writer, as is Lawrence Konner.

After winning the top prize at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, Julia Ducournau’s body horror film, “Titane,” will creep up on American audiences this fall. Ducournau, the mind behind the 2017 cannibalism thriller “Raw,” subverts and shocks traditional ideas about gender, sex and power through protagonist Alexia, who, after sustaining intense trauma from a major car accident with her family, becomes impregnated by… a car.

Diana: The Musical

The hardly-seen Broadway musical about “the people’s princess” will soon be available to the people. After live preview performances of “Diana” shut down after only a few runs last March due to COVID-19, a stage recording will debut on Netflix. And while shows like “The Crown” and real-life scandals are already keeping Princess Diana on everyone’s minds, why not throw a few showtunes into the mix?

No Time to Die

The 25th movie in the James Bond franchise, starring Daniel Craig in what is likely his last tour as the iconic spy, sees Bond’s retirement in Jamaica cut short when an old friend, Felix Leiter (Jeffrey Wright), comes seeking help. 007’s mission to rescue a kidnapped scientist puts him on a collision course with Safin (Rami Malek), a mysterious masked villain armed with dangerous technology. Watch a trailer here.

Venom: Let There Be Carnage

In “The Velvet Underground,” director Todd Haynes paints a dazzling historical collage of the seminal rock ‘n’ roll band.

With a limited release in July, the documentary premieres on Apple TV Plus on Oct. 15.

Halloween Kills

The sequel to 2018’s “Halloween” once again pits Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) against Michael Myers. She and her family are forced to confront the psychotic, masked serial killer. It also features Judy Greer and Anthony Michael Hall.

The Last Duel

Based on Eric Jager’s book “The Last Duel: A True Story of Trial by Combat in Medieval France,” Ridley Scott’s historical drama tells the story of two 14th-century men ordered to engage in a fight to the death. It stars Matt Damon, Adam Driver and Jodie Comer.

Last Night in Soho

Edgar Wright’s next film is a London-set psychological thriller that follows an up-and-coming fashionista who is able to reach back in time and meet her idol, a dazzling singer named Sandy, in the 1960s. The cast includes Anya Taylor-Joy, Thomasin McKenzie and Matt Smith.

Premiering on both HBO Max and in theaters, the long-awaited Denis Villeneuve remake of the sci-fi epic stars Timothée Chalamet as a young duke named Paul Atreides leading a battle to control the desert planet Arrakis. Zendaya, Oscar Isaac, Rebecca Ferguson, Dave Bautista, Jason Momoa and Javier Bardem round out the star-studded cast. Watch the trailer here .

The upcoming installment of the iconic franchise picks up 30 years after 1989’s “Ghostbusters II” and follows a family that moves to a small town to discover their connection to the ghost-catching business. Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Sigourney Weaver and Annie Potts reprise their roles from the original movie, and they’re joined by Finn Wolfhard, McKenna Grace, Paul Rudd and Carrie Coon.

Licorice Pizza

Paul Thomas Anderson’s 1970s-set film is a coming-of-age tale set in California’s San Fernando Valley. Alana Haim and Cooper Hoffman star, with Bradley Cooper co-starring with Joseph Cross and Benny Safdie. Hoffman plays a high-schooler who develops an affection for a photographer’s assistant in her 20s, played by Haim.

House of Gucci

Adam Driver and Lady Gaga are a force to be reckoned with as they portray Mr. and Mrs. Gucci. The film details the assassination of Maurizio Gucci (Driver), and the downfall of the Gucci family fashion dynasty. Al Pacino, Jared Leto and Jeremy Irons co-star in Ridley Scott’s deliriously over-the-top family saga.

West Side Story

Directed by Steven Spielberg, this long-awaited adaptation of the 1957 Broadway musical stars Ansel Elgort and newcomer Rachel Zegler as star-crossed lovers Tony and Maria.

It seems that Hollywood is going to be very busy with its 2021 movies coming to theaters. With an ungodly amount of comic book movies from Marvel and DC alike to the new Fast and Furious movie, the next calendar year is jam-packed with some of the most anticipated releases to ever be announced. That is due, in part, to the fact that many of these films were originally scheduled for a sooner release, or should have been out months ago.

The outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic led to a great deal of rescheduling and reevaluating primary methods of distribution , with some studios taking the straight-to-streaming route. The ones who chose to uphold the tradition of going to the theater either postponed a release to later in the year, or went as far as pushing it right into the 2021 calendar, which is why you may recognize some of the titles below as films you hoped to see in 2020.

The following is a one-stop location for all the movies to look forward to in 2021 and when to expect them. Of course, as we all should be used to by now, dates are subject to change, so be sure check back for shifts in the schedule. Enjoy!

2021 Movie Release Dates: Here's What's Coming to Theaters This Year

Release dates are subject to change.

It's not unusual for movie release dates to jump around the calendar, but we've witnessed a unique set of circumstances caused by COVID-19. A lot of movies finally arriving in 2021 were due out in 2020, and while a vaccine is already starting to roll out across the globe, studios don't know when people will feel comfortable returning to theaters.

With that in mind, we have a list of release dates that are highly subject to change, especially in the early part of 2021. We've also noted where a theatrical release is day-and-date with a streaming release as will be the case with all Warner Bros. movies in 2021 when they simultaneously release on HBO Max.

We'll be sure to keep this calendar updated with the latest info as we get it.
