January 2025 is going to be stacked with fun movies for genre fiends

January is no longer solely the playground for movies studios want to sink. And the start of 2025 is gearing up to be very exciting for people who like fun genre movies.

Consider the last few years of January releases: In 2023, we got the genre thriller Underwater and a fun franchise return in Bad Boys for Life; M3GAN, Plane, Sick, and Missing; 2024’s crop included action standouts Mayhem! and The Beekeeper.

But January 2025’s lineup takes the month to a whole new level. There’s Mickey 17, Bong Joon-ho’s sci-fi comedy with Robert Pattinson doing a delightfully weird voice. There’s Den of Thieves 2: Pantera, the follow-up to the LA heist thriller Dirtbag Heat Den of Thieves, which looks like an absolute blast. (See the new trailer at the top of this story.)

January 2025 at the movies is going to rule. See you there.
