Napoleon, Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes and The Marvels These are some of the most notable movie releases this month this November 2023, which means only one thing: it’s a weak month for billboard renewals. That said, there’s usually some distance from the most notable to the most interesting, at least for the most popular titles, and in all likelihood this is no exception.

Remember, if you accidentally got here, yes, in this monthly section we collect only a small selection of films that are released in cinemas in Spain, so if these parts do not grab you or you do not really feel like going to the cinema, we publish another column every week VOD news, dedicated exclusively to content that comes via video-on-demand that you may be more interested in. And now to the news in cinemas.

The film will be released on November 1

They know it

Although the Spanish Billboard usually refreshes on Fridays, the holidays are very attractive and new features appear from day one, such as They know it, a biopic about a person who needs no introduction for several generations, such as the genius Catalan comedian Eugenio. It’s also David Trueby’s new movie (Soldiers of Salamis).

Five Nights with Freddy

One was also released on the same day Five Nights with Freddy, a fantasy horror film from Blumhouse that, without much excitement from critics, ended up being one of the box office hits of the year. And there it goes.

The film premieres on November 9 and 10

The Marvels

It premieres next week on Thursday The Marvels, more than a possible new setback for the Marvel Cinematic Universe if the prevailing trend of recent years holds. Starring Brie Larson (captain marvel), Iman Vellani (Ms. Marvel) and Teyonah Parris (Scarlet Witch and Vision) we’ll have to see if it’s at least drinkable, or if it not only flops at the box office, but is yet another UCM failure.

God’s bullet

He will take his place on the billboard by Friday God’s bulletaction drama starring Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Game of Thrones), accompanied by a cast that includes names like Jamie Foxx (Django Unchained) or Ethan Suplee (My name is Earl), which was clearly crushed by the critics.

One love

As a national product, One lovethe latest from Isabel Coixet, a slightly risqué romantic drama that opened at festivals with an uneven reception.

The film premieres on November 16 and 17

Seneca

We move on to the next week and once again there are premieres that exceed the standard. It’s a case Senecaa hodgepodge around a famous Roman philosopher who is also relentlessly hammered but… Seneca is played by John Malkovich, Geraldine Chaplin is there, it’s one of Julian Sands’ posthumous works…

Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes

And now on Friday the highlight of the week, which is none other than the new spawn from the famous youth adventure franchise, whose first new chapter is called Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. It’s directed by someone who knows history like Francis Lawrence and the cast is diverse and familiar… It looks terrible but who knows.

Old oak tree

This week also sees the premiere of a new release from another veteran, Ken Loach, and the title doesn’t lie: Old oak tree It is, like almost any self-respecting British work, a drama; but a drama with rural life in the background.

The film premieres on November 22 and 24

Teacher

For the last week of November, the pattern repeats itself, and the film is ahead of its premiere: it is Teacherdrama distributed by Netflix, starring and directed by Bradley Cooper (A star is born), in which the American steps into the shoes of the legendary composer, pianist and conductor Leonard Bernstein.

Napoleon

A few days later, one of the most anticipated releases of the second half of the year arrives: Napoleona biopic about the most famous Frenchman in history directed by Ridley Scott and starring Joaquin Phoenix, a combination not seen since Gladiator and we hope it works accordingly in the entertainment section at least. Of course, the trailer shows the ways.

Wish: The power of wishing

The end of the month is coming Wish: The power of wishing, a new animated film from Disney that we could put under the sub-category of “Disney princesses”, which seems to repeat all the usual clichés in this type of production, from the technical invoice to everything else. We’ll see what happens if it’s the new one he frozeeats snot like A strange world or neither.
