Try not to act too shocked when Deadpool & Wolverine sets a new record for an R-rated film's opening weekend. That's been evident for a while now, and it's no mystery as to why. Getting Hugh Jackman on board to co-headline the sequel with Ryan Reynolds was a coup in of itself, but far from the only thing that's going to give this film great repeat business. It's too soon to say that this will snap Marvel out of its recent slump since Deadpool and Wolverine came with two established superstars. The real test of Marvel's resurgence won't be until its next movie, Captain America: Brave New World, hits theaters in February 2025.
In the meantime, expect Marvel's latest film to suck all of the air out of the box office this weekend, even though Twisters, Inside Out 2, Despicable Me 4, and Bad Boys: Ride or Die have established themselves as hits. Maybe the problems with this summer's grosses really were Furious and The Fall Guy all along. Regardless, there are still a lot of films coming this year, and our roundup of the best new movies coming to theaters in 2024 is your guide to staying on top of them.

The Man From Toronto overcame pandemic-related release delays to emerge as a Netflix hit. Starring Woody Harrelson and Kevin Hart, the movie follows Teddy, an unlucky individual fired from his job, who is mistaken for the notorious assassin, the man from Toronto. Teddy is recruited by the FBI to impersonate the assassin and capture a Venezuelan radical, but complications arise when the real man from Toronto appears.
The British true crime documentary The Tinder Swindler tells the real-life story of infamous Israeli con artist Simon Leviev, who used the online dating site to target and manipulate women into sending him money and finance his jet-setting lifestyle. Between 2017 and 2019, Leviev allegedly used a Ponzi scheme to swindle $10 million from his victims, under the guise that he needed to evade his many enemies.
Upon its release in 2022, The Tinder Swindler became the first documentary to top Netflix's Weekly Film Chart, clocking in 45.8 million hours worldwide during its debut week. The engrossing flick was also well-received by critics, who deemed it a must-see for true crime fans, and it went on to earn five Primetime Emmy Award nominations. A dramatized movie based on the documentary is currently in the works at Netflix.
Comedian and actor extraordinaire Kevin Hart continued his lucrative partnership with Netflix when he starred in and produced the heist comedy Lift, centering on international master thief Cyrus, who along with his Interpol agent former flame assembles a highly-skilled team of colorful characters to carry out a dangerous heist and steal $500 million during a passenger flight.
Hart is joined by an eclectic cast of talented stars including Vincent D'Onofrio, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, and Sam Worthington, and with a massive budget of $100 million, the entertaining caper held nothing back when it came to electrifying action sequences and wild shenanigans. Though it failed to impress critics, Lift is nonetheless a fun and exciting popcorn flick that capitalizes on Hart's charisma and overall appeal as a leading man.
An adaptation of a German novel released in 1929, and also based on a true story, All Quiet on the Western Front is one of Netflix's most acclaimed films. Nominated for nine Academy Awards, including Best Picture, the film won four of them. Telling the tale of an idealistic young German soldier three years into WWI, the story bleeds into a harrowing look at the harsh realities of the war.
Watching a soldier learn over time that he has little hope of ever becoming the hero he dreamed of being is heartbreaking, especially when he realizes that his best bet is to simply try to survive. Featuring some exceptional cinematography and gritty performances, the film painted an incredibly dreary but realistic portrait of life for those on the front lines of that tumultuous period in history and earned every single nomination and award it got in the process.
Continuing from the now iconic British series starring Idris Elba as the main character, Luther: The Fallen Sun became the first film that was released from the franchise. Reprising his role as John Luther, a police detective, whose slick portrayal often saw Idris Elba being linked to James Bond rumors, the film sees him taking on the complex case of a wealthy serial killer who keeps him on his toes through intricately planned crimes.
The show has been a massively popular one, especially in the UK, and the movie followed suit as it quickly became one of Netflix's most-watched English films of all time. With the feel of a soft reboot, the movie also made it likely for possible sequels to be made. If Elba doesn't get cast as Bond, he'll always have this great character to fall back on, and we certainly hope he stays with the role for a bit longer.
Netflix has fared successfully in the superhero genre with The Old Guard. Image Comic originally published this indie comic book with the screenplay written by Greg Rucka, who also authored the graphic novel. The movie was directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood, and stars Charlize Theron, KiKi Layne, and Matthias Schoenaerts, among many others. The plot centers around a group of immortal mercenaries who have been operating for a long time when suddenly they find themselves facing a secret conclave that seeks their immortality.
Charlize Theron has a spotless track record of being the ultimate female action hero. Her role as Andromache of Scythia, an immortal warrior who's been killing people for more than 5000 years, puts her at odds with an unseen enemy who manages to identify a new immortal as her abilities begin to falter. The film is faithful to the source material while offering a powerful, compelling story ripe for exploring in multiple future entries.
In The Sea Beast, we follow a young stowaway named Maisie as she joins a crew of monster hunters in search of the legendary sea monster known as the Red Bluster. However, Maisie and Jacob, the adopted son of the ship's first mate, are thrown from the boat when the Red Bluster is spotted. Both kids are led to safety by the monster. They soon learn that the so-called beast may have been a misunderstood creature all along. Featuring the voice talents of Karl Urban as Jacob, the film was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Animated Feature and reportedly has a sequel planned.
Family audiences have proven to be one of Netflix's most important demographics, as their delightful animated film offerings prove with consistency. The Sea Beast has many of the classic tropes of the misunderstood monster, but it's still a solid offering with great acting voices. Hearing Karl Urban play something that is the polar opposite of Billy the Butcher makes for a nice change of pace and proves the actor's versatility.
