It’s a new year, which means new movies. AndIMDBhas released a list of the most anticipated films of 2025, according to user engagement on their site.
It probably shouldn’t come as a surprise that every single one of those is based on existing IP. Nine of the ten are a sequel, reboot, or remake. The only non-sequel, first-time film isA Minecraft Movie.
These franchises have all built up fan bases and followings. So of course they’re more anticipated than auteur-driven pictures likeMickey 17(Bong-Joon-ho),Eddington(Ari Aster), andBugonia(Yorgos Lanthimos).
What Were The Most Anticipated Movies Of 2024?
I thought it would be fun to look back one year prior to the most anticipated movies of 2024. Knowing what we know now, the list is kind of comical.
Where to start? In terms of box office,threemade the domestic top-10 for the year.Deadpool & Wolverine(2),Beetlejuice Beetlejuice(6), andDune: Part Two(7). In terms of critical response,sixof the 10 were Fresh according to Rotten Tomatoes.
Predicting How The Most Anticipated Movies Of 2025 Will Perform
Honestly, I feel like the most anticipated of 2025 will blow the 2024 films out of the water.
So I’m going with eight of these being fresh and seven ending up in the top 10. I just don’t see how you’re able to doubt four Disney movies, a DC movie, and the first live-action adaptation from DreamWorks. And no Jurassic Park movie has ever landed outside the top 10. I doubtRebirthwill be the first.
