Earlier this month, we took a look at the most anticipated movies of fall 2023. But now, it’s time to look ahead at all of the upcoming movies set for release in late 2023 and early 2024.
As you may have heard, the word out of Hollywood is that the WGA and the AMPTP have reached a tentative deal to end the writers’ strike. Presumably ending the SAG-AFTRA strike will be the next thing on the agenda. This is important to keep in mind for the upcoming movies because all films and TV shows have been at a standstill for months, and the 2024 release dates are tentative at best. That’s one of the reasons why the 2024 schedule looks so empty at the moment. There’s a lot of work that needs to be done by both the writers and the actors before a lot of these movies are going to be ready, so don’t be too shocked if the release dates change again. Some of them could even slip into 2025.

For now, let’s just celebrate the potential end of labor strife in Hollywood and start making plans for our movie nights this year and beyond.
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga: release date, plot, cast, trailer, and more
Oh, what a lovely day! Almost a decade after George Miller stunned the film-loving world with the release of Mad Max: Fury Road, the director is back with Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. The film, a prequel to Fury Road, will focus on a younger Furiosa in the days before she tries to escape from Immortan Joe.
This will be the fifth film in the Mad Max franchise, which spans more than 40 years, going back to 1979. Until now, every film in the franchise has focused on Max Rockatansky and his adventures through a dystopian wasteland. Here's everything we know about this prequel spinoff, which will be the first entry in the franchise not built around Max.
What is the release date for Furiosa?
If you have to watch one (HBO) Max movie in April 2024, stream this one
HBO built its name off of the movies that it was able to bring to its premium cable channel, and that hasn't changed now that the service has extended its focus to streaming as Max. In this month alone, Max is offering subscribers such films as Black Swan, Elizabethtown, all of the Harry Potter movies, the Infernal Affairs trilogy, The Thomas Crown Affair, and many more. But for us, the one movie that you have to watch on Max in April is The Social Network, a 2010 drama that chronicles the founding of Facebook.
The Social Network is one of the best films by director David Fincher, and its tagline sums up the story pretty well: "You don't get to 500 million friends without making a few enemies." And if there's one thing that main character Mark Zuckerberg excels at in this film, it's making enemies on his way toward making a fortune. If you've never seen this movie before, here are five reasons why you should watch The Social Network on Max in April.

Peacock subscribers should be very happy with their film lineup this month. The Godfather trilogy is back, and so are the first four Mission: Impossible movies.

That's why we've put together this list of the three underrated movies on Peacock that you need to watch in April. Two of our picks are comedies, but our first choice is a crime drama that is also one of Al Pacino's most underappreciated films from the '90s.
