From blockbuster releases to indie gems, discover what’s hitting theaters this week.

As October rolls in, the post-strike movie calendar is heating up, with a slew of new releases heading to theaters. Whether you’re in the mood for a massive blockbuster or a niche indie film, there’s plenty to choose from this week.

One of the week’s most anticipated releases is Joker: Folie à Deux, the sequel to Todd Phillips’ Joker. Joaquin Phoenix reprises his role as Arthur Fleck, this time joined by pop star and actress Lady Gaga. Folie à Deux follows Fleck as he awaits trial for his crimes while discovering the love of his life and unleashing a new side of his chaotic persona. This musical-drama hybrid promises to deliver more of the gritty, psychological tension that made the original a hit while introducing audiences to a new narrative style.

In contrast, White Bird brings a different tone entirely. Directed by Marc Forster, this wartime drama stars Gillian Anderson and Helen Mirren, and it tells the touching story of a young boy who gains wisdom and inspiration from his grandmother’s tales of escaping Nazi-occupied France. The film offers a poignant reminder of the power of storytelling, bringing history to life in a way that resonates with viewers of all ages.

For those looking for something outside the mainstream, there are two limited releases making waves. Little Bites is a spine-chilling horror that tells the story of a widow who allows a monster to devour her piece by piece in a bid to save her daughter. Meanwhile, Daaaaaali! is a surreal comedy about a French journalist making a documentary about the legendary Salvador Dalí, filled with absurd humor and whimsical artistry.

Other notable releases this week include The Forest Hills, Arthur’s Whisky, and the 20th-anniversary re-release of Mean Girls, allowing fans of the cult classic to relive the experience on the big screen. Scarygirl and The Problem with People round out the list of new films offering something for everyone, no matter your taste in cinema.

As the industry gets back into full swing, these releases are just the tip of the iceberg. With upcoming films like Terrifier 3 and Saturday Night on the horizon, it’s a good time to be a movie lover.
