As a cinephile who’s been through countless cinematic journeys, I must say October 2024 is shaping up to be quite the film-lover’s feast! From the intriguing titles like “Food and Country,” “Joker: Folie à Deux,” and “Venom: The Last Dance” to the lesser-known gems such as “Daaaali,” “The Problem with People,” and “Depravity,” there’s something for every taste.
As we move swiftly towards October, it seems hard to believe that autumn has already arrived. Despite our busy routines and numerous obligations, entertainment has been playing an essential part in making the time pass more quickly, particularly for film buffs who have been treated daily to some of the most awe-inspiring blockbuster movies hitting the silver screen.
This year has been filled with a string of blockbusters like Deadpool and Wolverine, Inside Out 2, and Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, but there’s even more movie magic to come! Particularly, October 2024 will see the long-awaited premiere of several highly anticipated films that fans have been eagerly waiting for. Here are the movies hitting the big screen in October 2024.
Joker: Folie à Deux

The groundbreaking movie “Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker” is undeniably a masterwork, boasting a chilling performance that garnered him an Academy Award.

Two years following the occurrences depicted in the 2019 movie “Joker,” Arthur Fleck (played by Joaquin Phoenix) is receiving care at Arkham Asylum, where he encounters a fellow patient, Harley Quinn (portrayed by Lady Gaga).

Terrifier 3

In a time when the excitement around slasher films has waned somewhat compared to their peak popularity, the Terrifier franchise, which debuted in 2016, was a refreshing change for film enthusiasts. After the massive success of Terrifier 2 in 2022, it seemed almost inevitable that a sequel, Terrifier 3, would follow suit.
In “Terrifier 3,” which is slated for a cinema release on October 11, 2024, the story, penned and helmed by Damien Leone, unfolds as Sienna and her younger sibling find themselves living miraculously after the horrors of Art the Clown’s Halloween rampage in the previous film. As they strive to put their lives back together, Art the Clown makes a chilling return, aiming to turn yet another holiday into a terrifying nightmare for them.

This cinematic gem features a stellar cast including Mikey Madison, Paul Weissman, and Lindsey Normington. After its captivating debut at the 77th Cannes Film Festival on May 21, 2024, “Anora” claimed the prestigious Palme d’Or, further fueling audience excitement for this highly-anticipated film. I can hardly wait to immerse myself in this cinematic journey!
The upcoming dramedy titled “Anora” tells the story of a young woman named Anora, originally from Brooklyn and working as a sex worker, who unexpectedly marries Vanya, the son of a Russian oligarch. She dreams of her own fairytale ending like Cinderella’s. However, upon learning about their union, Vanya’s parents travel to New York with the intention of annulling the marriage. The movie “Anora” will be available in theaters starting October 18, 2024.
Smile 2

The original “Smile” movie is one of the scariest horror films produced recently, and its sequel, titled “Smile 2“, announced in 2023, has been generating a lot of excitement for its release in fall 2024.

Venom: The Last Dance
Watch It in Theaters on October 25
The movie titled “Venom: The Last Dance” has been a whirlwind of excitement ever since its first trailer was released, captivating audiences and ranking high among the most eagerly awaited films in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe. Given the massive success, both in terms of critical acclaim and box office numbers, of the two preceding films, Venom (2018) and Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021), it’s expected that the third installment will continue this trend.
In the concluding chapter of the trilogy, Eddie and Venom find themselves evading pursuit when a formidable enemy arises who poses a threat to the survival of the remaining symbiotes. As their climactic encounter approaches, this dynamic duo must unite to tackle their most challenging obstacle yet.
