Bet you didn’t think a snowman could look ominous!
6. Murder on the Orient Express — November 10
My parents and I used to watch Agatha Christie’s TV series every week when it used to come on TV. So you can imagine our excitement when we realized that there was a movie coming out based on one of Christie’s most famous novels, and we’ve been counting down the days. The trailer of this movie is simply perfect. I can immediately identify the cast of this movie as the Dream Team. We’ve got Josh Gad, Penelope Cruz, Johnny Depp and so many more! The movie revolves around a murder and a famous detective, who tries to identify the murderer among thirteen stranded strangers before he decides to strike again.

For all you Star Wars fans, this one’s going to be epic! In continuation, to the last movie of the series, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the new movie will follow Rey as she spends her next adventure with her friends and Luke Skywalker.
8. Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle — December 20
The movie I’ve watch so many times is the 1995 Jumanji with Robin Williams, so it’ll be fun to see a new perspective of the movie. The cast consists of Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart and Jack Black, and those are only a few of the actors! This movie has a bit of a modern twist to it. While the old Jumanji consisted of a board game, the new one consists of a video game console.
9. Pitch Perfect 3 — December 22
If you thought it was going to end at Pitch Perfect 2, you were wrong! I’m not entirely sure how this movie will do in comparison to the other two, but we’ll find out soon, because we can’t get enough of our favorite a cappella group. The Bellas reunite for their final performance for an oversees tour but face challenges as they compete with more experienced and advanced groups.
