Earlier this month, we took a look at the most anticipated movies of fall 2023. But now, it’s time to look ahead at all of the upcoming movies set for release in late 2023 and early 2024.
As you may have heard, the word out of Hollywood is that the WGA and the AMPTP have reached a tentative deal to end the writers’ strike. Presumably ending the SAG-AFTRA strike will be the next thing on the agenda. This is important to keep in mind for the upcoming movies because all films and TV shows have been at a standstill for months, and the 2024 release dates are tentative at best. That’s one of the reasons why the 2024 schedule looks so empty at the moment. There’s a lot of work that needs to be done by both the writers and the actors before a lot of these movies are going to be ready, so don’t be too shocked if the release dates change again. Some of them could even slip into 2025.

3 underrated Amazon Prime Video movies you should watch this weekend (November 1-3)
One of the joys of any weekend is the feeling that you are no longer tied down by all of the obligations that often define your week. If you want to spend some time watching a movie, you're free to do so. Once you've opted to watch something, though, you face the somewhat monumental task of deciding what you actually want to watch.
We've made that task a little easier by combing through all of the great movies available on Amazon Prime Video to find three underrated gems that are well worth your attention. Whatever kind of movie you might be looking for, you're sure to find something like it on this list.
The selection of new movies coming to HBO and Max in November is so thin that you could be forgiven if you accidentally mistook it for the lineup heading to Disney+. Twenty-three films are going to Max on November 1, which is well below the number that usually heads to streamers each month. That total includes the perquisite Christmas movies, many of which are also streaming on Hulu this holiday season.
So for films, November's a wash for Max. Thankfully, HBO's original programming, including Dune: Prophecy, Like Water for Chocolate, and a few new documentaries, makes Max worthwhile. Sports lovers also have the option to stream some NHL and NBA games, as well as cycling and "endurance car racing."
Paramount+ may have launched Taylor Sheridan's Lioness season 2 at the end of October, but it also has a new Sheridan-created series coming in November as well. Like many of Sheridan's recent shows, Landman boasts an impressive cast that includes Billy Bob Thornton, Demi Moore, Jon Hamm, Andy Garcia, Michael Peña, and more. But instead of focusing on the drama surrounding ranching like Yellowstone, Landman is shifting the focus to an oil company in Texas.
Showtime is also dropping a prominent new original series, The Agency, which features Michael Fassbender as a CIA operative named Martin who tries to figure out his identity after spending years on an undercover assignment. But only Paramount+ with Showtime subscribers can stream The Agency. And that's true of a lot of the latest movie additions as well. Showtime tends to get the A-list titles, and Paramount+'s lower tiers get everything else.
