Must-See November Releases
Despite there only being two months left in the year, there are still a great number of highly anticipated movies coming to AMC Theatres locations nationwide. In November alone, there will be massive superhero movies like THE MARVELS, AMC Artisan Films like RADICAL, and other must-see films that may very well come up in the early Oscars predictions. There’s a lot to look forward to during the penultimate month of 2023, so let’s break down some of the biggest films hitting the big screen.
Sofia Coppola will tell Priscilla Presley’s story on the big screen with the much talked about A24 biographical drama, PRISCILLA. Instead of focusing on Elvis Presley, this biopic will approach the epic love story from the perspective of his young bride, played by Cailee Spaeny, offering up a new point of view. Jacob Elordi will also appear in a high-profile role, as the up-and-coming actor will portray the “King of Rock and Roll” in Coppola’s latest effort.
PRISCILLA opens November 3
One of the anticipated international films set to hit the big screen between now and the end of the year, RADICAL could very well be its most heartfelt. The AMC Artisan Film is based on a true story from Christopher Zalla. The Spanish-language film follows influential teacher Bernando Villalobos (Eugenio Derbez) as he attempts to transform the minds and futures of the impoverished students in his classroom, which proves to be no easy task.
RADICAL opens November 3
Meg Ryan and David Duchovny, two of the biggest stars of the ‘90s, will team up for WHAT HAPPENS LATER, an upcoming romantic comedy which Ryan also directed and co-wrote. The new rom-com centers on two former lovers – Willa and Bill – as they find themselves stuck at an airport overnight because of a snowstorm. With nothing but time and old wounds to heal, the pair look back on their lives and attempt to figure out where things went wrong.
WHAT HAPPENS LATER opens November 3
Kristoffer Borgl’s upcoming surrealist comedy, DREAM SCENARIO, has a rather ridiculous premise but also the potential to become an instant cult classic. In the movie, Nicolas Cage plays a college professor named Paul Matthews, who, for reasons unknown to him, shows up in everyone’s dreams. But not just the dreams of his family, friends, and colleagues, he pops up everywhere.
DREAM SCENARIO opens November 10
Nia DaCosta’s THE MARVELS finally hits the big screen in November, after what seems like an eternity of hearing about the next chapter in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This time around, Carol Danvers (Brie Larson), Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris), and Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani) must work together to take on a Kree revolutionary (Zawe Ashton) and her devastating powers.
THE MARVELS opens November 10
One of the bigger sci-fi movies coming to theatres before the end of the year, THE HUNGER GAMES: THE BALLAD OF SONGBIRDS AND SNAKES, will take audiences back to an earlier period in the epic saga. Set decades before the events of the main films, this prequel follows a young Coriolanus Snow (Tom Blyth) and Lucy Gray Baird (Rachel Zegler) as they prepare for the 10th annual battle royale.
THE HUNGER GAMES: THE BALLAD OF SONGBIRDS AND SNAKES opens on November 17
Those searching for Thanksgiving movies for the family should look no further than TROLLS BAND TOGETHER, the third entry in the popular animated musical franchise. This time around, the series based on the iconic toy line of the same name follows Poppy (Anna Kendrick) as she helps Branch (Justin Timberlake) reunite the BroZone boy band to save one of its members.
TROLLS BAND TOGETHER opens on November 17
Remember all those fake trailers that played during Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino’s GRINDHOUSE? Several of those have since been turned into full-fledged movies, including THANKSGIVING, Eli Roth’s blood-soaked slasher about a mysterious killer who preys on Plymouth, Massachusetts, during the popular holiday.
THANKSGIVING opens November 17
Taika Waititi’s heartfelt underdog sports comedy, NEXT GOAL WINS, follows the American Samoa soccer team as they try to rebound from suffering a historic 31-0 loss in a 2002 World Cup qualifying match. With the help of down-on-his-luck coach, Thomas Rongen (Michael Fassbender), the unlikely team may very well be the heroes their island nation has long wanted.

Three years after making her directorial debut with PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN, Emerald Fennell returns in November with SALTBURN, a thriller that follows college student, Oliver Quick (Barry Keoghan), as he spends the summer with classmate, Felix Catton (Jacob Elordi) and his eccentric family at their massive estate. SALTBURN has been recognized as an AMC Artisan Film.
SALTBURN opens on November 17
Ridley Scott and Joaquin Phoenix reunite for NAPOLEON, a sprawling epic that will see the Academy Award-winning actor take on the role of the French general-turned-emperor. Detailing the historical figure’s unprecedented rise to power, as well as his tumultuous relationship with Josephein (Vanessa Kirby), the movie looks to be just as massive as their previous collaboration, GLADIATOR.
NAPOLEON opens November 22
What could very well turn out to be one of the best new animated films, Disney’s WISH will follow Asha (Ariana DeBose) as she wishes upon a star in hopes of saving her kingdom from an approaching darkness.
