There are a whole lot of movies coming out in 2019 and they run the gamut from superhero tentpoles to live-action retellings of Disney animated classics, animated sequels, prestigious historical dramas, and everything in-between. 2018 has only just concluded its run and it was a pretty terrific year for movies overall. This past month was especially impressive, with critically-acclaimed films like Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Mary Poppins Returns, Aquaman, and Bumblebee all releasing within a week or so of one another.
As always, things are slowing down now that January has arrived. Moviegoers would do best to catch their breath while they can, however, because it won’t be long before the first hotly-anticipated films of 2019 start make their way to theaters (starting near the end of this month). In the meantime, we’re going to run-down Every Movie Coming Out in 2019.
