The year 2023 is shaping up to be a good one for movie fans. After pandemic shutdowns and delays, movie studios are firing on all cylinders again, which means a packed schedule of new releases are on the horizon.
But what to watch? The best movies of 2023 are a mix of old and new, with some of our favorite characters returning to screens, and others popping up for the first time. There are plenty of Marvel, DC and other comics-inspired movies for those who need their superhero fix. There are lots of kids' movies in 2023 that you can take the whole family to see and watch together. Horror movies are all over the release schedule, so you don't have to wait until Halloweentime to have a good scare. And action and adventure abound from some of the best in the business, with familiar names like Indiana Jones and Ethan Hunt leading the way. Plus, there's always the sprinkling of rom-coms, adult dramas and other originals dotting the release calendar throughout the year.
Check out our most anticipated movies of 2023 (listed in order of release date), mark your calendar for your favorites. But be advised that studios love to shift these around — especially now that the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers have failed to negotiate a fair contract with the screenwriters' and actors' unions, who are striking and unable to promote the movies. That has caused some studios to push some of their movies into next year. But the ones that remain on the schedule will make you grab your popcorn and get ready to have a good time. And, if you're still looking for more, you can always catch up with the movies of 2022.
