After over a year of movies having to be delayed or sent to streaming platforms, studios are finally releasing some of their most anticipated titles in theaters, and here’s every movie releasing in October 2021. The coronavirus pandemic was a big shakeup for the entertainment industry, with cinemas around the world forced to close temporarily and studios having to reorganize their schedules, which in many cases meant delaying various movies multiple times, and some had to be sent to streaming platforms so they could reach their target audience.
However, the entertainment industry has been slowly returning to normal – all those movies and TV shows that had to be put on hold due to the pandemic are back in production and theaters are now open and operating again. Streaming platforms gained a lot of force during the peak of the pandemic as they were the only source of entertainment, and while it has taken some time for people to feel comfortable going to the cinema again, they are slowly going back and regaining a sense of normalcy. This also means that many movies are finally being released, and October will see a lot of big movies finally hitting theaters.
As it’s also time to get into Halloween mood, October will bring a couple of horror movies and thrillers, among those the latest Edgar Wright movie and the return of Michael Myers and Laurie Strode, as well as some movies aimed at a younger audience and others that went through multiple delays as they are some of the biggest titles of the year. Here’s every movie coming to theaters in October 2021.
