We want to go to the cinema. The problem was that for a number of years, there were no worthwhile movies to go see in cinema! 2026 has been an unusually great year for movies so far and it will continue to be great right until the end of the year because the remaining releases this year have more than a handful of interesting films among them. I’m waiting for Werwulf and Wildwood, personally. I wanted to go see more movies, but money are tight right now, so I have to pick.
I literally can’t remember the last time I had a year where I was this hyped to go see one movie, let alone five or six and having to actually prioritize which ones I’ll go support in the cinemas and which ones I’ll buy on bluray or DVD later. I think this hasn’t happened to me since 2018 when Hereditary came out. Every year since 2018 has been progressively more dull and disappointing, until this year and I don’t think I’m the only one who feels this way.
Kinda wild that when you start making movies that people want to watch, they actually go watch them. Who would’ve known???

Well, that’s the thing. It might sound silly, but it’s actually really hard to know what people will like. That’s why they pay marketers millions of dollars a year to find out what people like. Tastes can change across the span of a few years, and by the time the movie comes out, audiences may have moved on to something else.
Also, making a good movie doesn’t guarantee that people will go watch it. There are plenty of good movies that flopped at the box office, and there are plenty of bad movies that made $1 billion.
Despite all that, I’m glad you’ve seen lots of good movies this year! Hopefully this momentum continues to 2027!
