New DVD Releases 2021: All The Latest Movies And TV Shows

2020 was a wild year for theatrical releases that is going to take quite some time to fully recover from. One the one hand, the lack of theatrical releases last year means that all those delayed films will be delayed even further when it comes to their release on Blu-ray and dvd, which left 2020 a far different year than we expected.. However, with theaters closed, many films decided to go directly to video on demand platforms. Under the circumstances, this is great, as it gives people access to the same movies in the comfort of their own homes.

Exactly what the future has in store for home releases in 2021 is anybody’s guess right now. But we’ll keep things updated here with the news on the newest releases as they are announced.

January dvd And Blu-ray Releases

2021 in film

2021 in film is an overview of events, including the highest-grossing films, award ceremonies, festivals, a list of country-specific lists of films released, and movie programming.

Evaluation of the year[edit]

In his article highlighting the best movies of 2021, Richard Brody of The New Yorker said, “From an artistic perspective, 2021 has been an excellent cinematic vintage, yet the bounty is shadowed by an air of doom. The reopening of theatres has brought many great movies—some of which were postponed from last year—to the big screen, but fewer people to see them. The biggest successes, as usual, have been superhero and franchise films. The French Dispatch has done respectably in wide release, and Licorice Pizza is doing superbly on four screens in New York and Los Angeles, but few, if any, of the year’s best films are likely to reach high on the box-office charts. The shift toward streaming was already under way when the pandemic struck, and as the trend has accelerated it’s had a paradoxical effect on movies. On the one hand, a streaming release is a wide release, happily accessible to all (or to all subscribers). On the other, an online release usually registers as a nonevent, and many of the great movies hardly make a blip on the mediascape despite being more accessible than ever.”[1]

Highest-grossing films[edit]

2021 box office records[edit]

  • Worldwide, the global box office ended the year at $21.4 billion, a figure 78% higher than 2020.[4]
  • China was the highest-grossing country of 2021 with $7.3 billion.[5]
  • In the United States and Canada, theaters earned an estimated $4.55 billion throughout 2021, a statistic 100% higher than 2020’s $2.28 billion and 60% lower than 2019’s $11.4 billion.[6]

Film records[edit]

  • The Marvel Cinematic Universe became the first film franchise to gross $23 billion, $24 billion, and $25 billion with the releases of Black Widow, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Eternals, and Spider-Man: No Way Home.[citation needed] Additionally, the MCU became the first film franchise to have ten films gross over $1 billion with the release of Spider-Man: No Way Home.
  • Spider-Man: No Way Home became the 48th film to gross $1 billion worldwide (the first film to do so since 2019’s Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker prior to the COVID-19 pandemic), surpassed Spider-Man: Far From Home as Sony’s highest-grossing film of all time,[7] and attained the distinction of being the highest-grossing film not to be released in China (one of the world’s biggest box office markets).[8]
    • Also, is the third film to surpass the $800 million mark in North America.
    • In Latin America, No Way Home became the all-time highest-grossing film in Mexico ($75 million), and the second all-time highest in Brazil ($55 million), Central America ($12.6 million) and Ecuador ($7.9 million).[9]
  • The Battle at Lake Changjin became the highest-grossing non-English film of all time as well as highest-grossing Chinese film of all time.[10]
    • The Battle at Lake Changjin also became the second highest-grossing film in a single market, after Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015) in the United States.[11][12]
  • Hi, Mom became the highest-grossing film by a solo female director, surpassing the record set by Wonder Woman (2017).[13]
  • Detective Chinatown 3 set the record for the biggest opening weekend in a single territory, surpassing the record set by Avengers: Endgame in 2019, and had the tenth highest-grossing opening weekend on release.[14]
  • Avatar became the highest-grossing film of all time again after a re-release in China increased its gross past $2.8 billion.[15]
  • The anime film Demon Slayer: Mugen Train (2020) released in North America in April 2021, with its opening weekend gross of $19.5 million setting the record as the biggest opening for any foreign-language film released in North America.[16][dubious ]

New Netflix movies: the biggest films to stream in October 2023

Tom Power, senior entertainment reporter

After a few weeks without updating this guide, we’re giving our new Netflix movies hub a spring clean. We’ve added Pain Hustlers and Old Dads to our list, removed some older entries from early September, and included new information on flicks that will debut on the service between now and the end of 2023.

Welcome to TechRadar’s new Netflix movies guide. In this article, you’ll learn all about the biggest (but not necessarily best) new movies to land on the platform since mid-September.

Netflix, which is considered to be the world’s best streaming service, has a stacked film library that Netflix Originals and licensed flicks. It’s a back catalog that’s updated with alarming regularity, too, so it can be difficult to stay on top of what’s new and worth watching on any day of the week. With our help, though, you’ll learn if these new Netflix films are worth your time.

New Hollywood epics revive old debate about long movies

Welcome to the Wide Shot, a newsletter about the business of entertainment. Sign up here to get it in your inbox.

How long is too long?

Every so often, a certain cadre of frequent and professional moviegoers revives the debate about whether some movies are asking too much of our social media-addled attention spans. The latest cycle of this timeworn question is brought to you by Martin Scorsese’s epic “Killers of the Flower Moon,” clocking in at nearly three and a half hours.

I was joking around recently with a couple of theater executives about whether Hollywood ought to bring back the old-fashioned intermission to give patrons a few minutes to run to the bathroom, in a throwback to the days of “Gone With the Wind” and “Lawrence of Arabia.” Long ago, intermissions served a practical purpose for theaters, allowing projectionists time to change the physical film reels during the show.

Returning to the practice could sure serve as a relief to some moviegoers, especially those partaking in the wine, beer and cocktails on offer to consume inside the auditorium.

Again, I was kidding. But it turns out that a very small number of theaters decided to take matters into their own hands for “Killers of the Flower Moon,” including one Colorado cinema that reportedly offered screenings with a short break for attendees. These rogue modifications drew a swift crackdown from studio reps, who informed the exhibitors that they were in violation of their agreements.

On one level, it’s a bit of a nontroversy.

If Scorsese can convince a studio — in this case, Apple Original Films, with paramount Pictures handling theatrical distribution — to fork over $200 million for a 3 hour and 26 minute historical quasi-western, more power to him. Sure, moviegoers may groan. But distributors have an obligation to make sure movies are shown in the way the filmmakers intended, even if eventually someone might watch them, as X (formerly Twitter) users have joked, at home, in 40 minute increments on a cracked iPhone screen.

Despite the proliferation of think pieces on the subject of runtimes, there’s mixed evidence on whether marathon movie lengths in and of themselves are actually a major deterrent for moviegoers.

“Killers of the Flower Moon” opened with a promising $23 million domestically before dropping 61% in its second frame, which is probably not ideal. Its global box office stands at about $85 million, with Apple hoping for another run at the best picture Oscar and another dose of prestige for its streamer Apple TV+.

But some of the longest studio films are also the highest-grossing, with their length sometimes contributing psychologically to the sense that they constitute an event audiences have to see in theaters, or else they’re missing out. “Oppenheimer” (180 minutes) has generated nearly $950 million worldwide. “Avatar: The Way of Water” (192 minutes) did $2.32 billion. There’s also Taylor Swift’s “Eras Tour” concert movie (169 minutes, $203 million). Counterexample: Last year’s “Babylon” (ouch).

Most movies shouldn’t be three hours. Some of my favorite recent films, especially in the horror genre, are shorter than some “Stranger Things” episodes (A24’s “Talk to Me,” for example, a 95-minute chiller made by a couple of YouTubers). You often hear theater owners and distributors caution that long runtimes can hamper repeat business and limit the number of screenings they can squeeze into a day (adding intermissions would compound that problem), but they always seem to adapt when the consumer demand is there.

In a 2021 Screen Engine/ASI survey for The Times, a plurality of the U.S. respondents (36%) said they often sought out a film’s runtime before deciding to see it, while 16% said they always did, according to the polling. Comparatively, 32% indicated they rarely sought out runtimes. Sixteen percent said they never did. Younger audiences were more likely to seek runtime information.

Audiences didn’t necessarily let duration influence their purchases, though some did show hesitation about the longer sits. Among those who at least occasionally checked runtimes, 44% said their decision always depended on how much they wanted to see the movie, not its length. For those who did factor in runtime, 57% expressed trepidation about movies running past 150 minutes.

That all makes sense. The fact that the opening night audience for “Killers of the Flower Moon” was 46% under 35 suggests that length didn’t dissuade the young cinephiles who badly wanted to see the movie. Or maybe it just means that people under 35 have more time on their hands.

Anyway, if you’re worried about your next trip to a 180-minute-plus feature where the audience is expected to sit still, do what I do — stick to popcorn, candy and a small soda.

Stuff we wrote

Matthew Perry was easy to love. And it went deeper than his acting. The “Friends” actor, who died Saturday at 54, was a ninja of sarcasm — and his peerless blend of resilience and vulnerability made him a star we could all root for.

Disney pushes new ‘Snow White’ and pulls Jonathan Majors film as actors’ strike continues. Disney has updated its theatrical release schedule, delaying the new “Snow White” starring Rachel Zegler and pulling “Magazine Dreams” starring Jonathan Majors. More: Thousands of actors sign letter declaring they’d “rather stay on strike than take a bad deal.” Also, people are having fun with SAG-AFTRA’s Halloween costume guidelines.

WME owner Endeavor says it is considering ‘strategic alternatives’ amid stock slump. Investor Silver Lake, clearly frustrated with the firm’s performance, said it is looking to take the Ari Emanuel-run company private.

Long hours, low pay and mental trauma: Stars say reality TV is grueling and a union could help. As scrutiny mounts on reality TV, stars from Bravo’s “Real Housewives” franchises, “Love Is Blind” and “The Challenge” say the industry needs to change.

How the Israel-Hamas war is dividing Hollywood. For the entertainment industry, which has already been roiled this year by a bitter, historic double strike of writers and actors, the outbreak of violence has created a new set of fault lines.

New streaming service will offer Lakers games to cable cord-cutters. Spectrum and the NBA team announced the launch of SportsNet+, which will carry local telecasts for $19.99 a month.

Number of the week

Yes, Gen Z spends a lot of time on TikTok right now, which is supposed to be terrifying Hollywood executives across the industry. But it turns out that young people also want to go out and have fun with friends. Imagine that.

Blumhouse’s “Five Nights at Freddy’s,” the new video game-based horror film, grossed $80 million during its opening weekend in the U.S. and Canada ($133 million worldwide), exceeding industry expectations. About 80% of the domestic audience was under 25. The result is all the more remarkable considering that this movie was also streaming on Peacock.

The kids weren’t bothered by poor reviews for the film, about a Chuck E. Cheese-style children’s eatery from hell, featuring evil animatronic characters. Fans were clearly into it, giving the Emma Tammi-directed movie an A- CinemaScore.

Don’t expect a long tail from this one in cinemas, but it does suggest that the simultaneous theatrical and streaming release strategy can work, as long as it’s the right movie and the streaming service isn’t that big.

Warner Bros. Releases Special Digital Collection of 25 Horror and Sci …

Just in time for Halloween (and beyond), Warner Bros. has released a collection of 25 of its most popular thrillers, sci-fi and horror movies, as part of a new digital bundle celebrating the studio’s 100th anniversary.

Available exclusively to download on Apple TV, the Warner Bros. 25-Film Vol 4. Thrillers/Sci-Fi/Horror Bundle is on sale for $29.99 for the complete set. This breaks down to just about $1.20 per movie, or a whopping 85 percent off — or a $170 discount — from the list price. Download the films to your device to watch on your next movie night at home.

The movies span nearly 90 years of cinema with releases as early as 1933 with the original King Kong to as recent as 2021 with the remake of Dune from director Denis Villeneuve. This bundle also features a mix of 16 4K Ultra HD releases and nine HD releases altogether. Ahead, you’ll find a complete list of all of the movies in the collection and which ones are in 4K and HD.

Interesting to note: This bundle is compatible with the Movies Anywhere service — which means once you download them to your Apple ID account, you can watch them on just about any device with the Movies Anywhere app for free. And while Apple TV has a number of deals that are live right now, you don’t need to be an Apple TV+ subscriber to score this movie bundle.

This is one very impressive collection of movies, and fans of even just one or a few of the titles might find it worth getting the whole set — especially considering the hefty discount and the low price. And let’s be honest, there’s plenty of high-quality movies from directors such as Martin Scorsese, Christopher Nolan, The Wachowskis, Stanley Kubrick, David Fincher, Spike Jonze, William Friedkin, James Wan and others.

For $30, which would be the regular price for two of these movies, you’re getting 25 classics in one bundle. This appears to be a limited-time offer so we recommend adding to your cart now. See full details here.

Netflix New Releases: September 2023 – The Hollywood Reporter

Sex Education, Spy Kids: Armageddon and The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar are among the high-profile new projects debuting on Netflix in September.

Sex Education’s fourth and final season will start streaming Sept. 21, with action shifting from the closed Moordale Secondary to the progressive Cavendish College and Emma Mackey’s Maeve in America. Creator Laurie Nunn said that as the writers were working on season four, “it became clear that this was the right time to graduate.” The final season sees the return of stars Asa Butterfield, Ncuti Gatwa, Aimee Lou Wood, Dua Saleh, Mimi Keene, Kedar Williams-Stirling and Chinenye Ezeudu. Gillian Anderson will also return as Otis’ (Butterfield) sex therapist mom. But the new settings bring fresh faces in Anthony Lexa, Felix Mufti and Alexandra James, who make up the popular group, The Coven; a rival sex therapist for Otis, named O (Thaddea Graham); and Schitt’s Creek star Dan Levy, who joins Maeve’s world in the U.S.

The fifth installment of the Spy Kids franchise introduces a new generation of secret agents as two kids, played by Everly Carganilla and Connor Esterson, have to become spies like their parents, played by Gina Rodriguez and Zachary Levi, in order to save the world from a game developer’s powerful computer virus. Director Robert Rodriguez teamed up with son Racer Max to co-write the latest film, saying in part, “It’s been very exciting for me and my kids to work on this film together as a family, for other families to enjoy.”

And Netflix jumps into the world of Roald Dahl, after acquiring the author’s catalog in a Blockbuster deal in 2021, with four shorts dropping at the end of this month. The series of films, all directed by Wes Anderson, begins with Benedict Cumberbatch starrer The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar on Sept. 27, followed by The Swan (Sept. 28), The Rat Catcher (Sept. 29) and Poison (Sept. 30). The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar, based on Dahl’s 1977 story of the same name, sees Cumberbatch play a wealthy man who tries to learn how to see without using his eyes as a gambling technique. The short — also starring Ralph Fiennes, Dev Patel, Ben Kingsley, Rupert Friend and Richard Ayoade — had its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival, where The Hollywood Reporter’s Leslie Felperin called the film “small but perfectly crafted.”

Additionally, after Alex Murdaugh was found guilty of two murders, Netflix returns to the powerful family’s South Carolina community for a second season of the Murdaugh Murders: A Southern Scandal docuseries. The new batch of three episodes of what’s been called “Southern Succession will feature firsthand accounts from key figures, including Curtis Edward Smith (aka Cousin Eddie), former housekeeper Blanca Turrubiate-Simpson and Libby Murdaugh’s caregiver Mushelle “Shelly” Smith.

The fifth and final season of NBC medical drama New Amsterdam hits Netflix on Wednesday, with the last 13 episodes of the Ryan Eggold-led series that wrapped earlier this year joining previous seasons on the streamer.

Later this month, the streamer will add four-part docuseries Encounters. The show, produced by Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Television in partnership with Boardwalk Pictures and Vice Studios, tells firsthand stories of experiences with otherworldly phenomena, with each episode devoted to a different sighting across the globe, including strange lights over the sky in Texas and an alien encounter in Zimbabwe.

At the end of the month, music video director Grant Singer makes his feature debut with the crime thriller Reptile, starring Justin Timberlake, Benicio del Toro and Alicia Silverstone, the latter two reuniting after 1997’s Excess Baggage. In Reptile, del Toro’s Tom tries to uncover the truth behind the brutal murder of a young real estate agent, with her boyfriend Will (Timberlake) quickly becoming the prime suspect. In her review of the murder mystery, which had its world premiere at the 2023 Toronto Film Festival, THR’s arts and culture critic Lovia Gyarkye says Singer “crowds Reptile with gripping sequences, suspenseful moments, dramatic pauses and surprising levity — elements that, despite their overuse, keep the audience on edge and strategically blur the lines between dreams and reality.”

And Netflix returns to the tent with the start of a new season of The Great British Baking Show on Sept. 29. This year, new host Alison Hammond joins Paul Hollywood, Prue Leith and Noel Fielding.

Other projects coming to Netflix this September include Love Is Blind season five and Power Rangers: Cosmic Fury, which will feature the return of Blue Ranger Billy (played by David Yost after he returned in the Once and Always anniversary special.)

Earlier this month, Netflix added movies Don’t Worry Darling, Love at First Sight, El Conde, Fences, Field of Dreams, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Arrival, Baby Mama, Hacksaw Ridge, Love Again, Matilda, Miss Congeniality, My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2, Stand by Me, Superbad, Up in the Air, Vice, The Wolf of Wall Street, both Anchorman movies and the Jaws franchise.

And the streamer has added new seasons of Love Is Blind: After the Alter, S.W.A.T., Top Boy, Virgin River, Selling the OC and the docuseries Wrestlers, as well as past HBO miniseries Band of Brothers and The Pacific.

Welcome to your first daily roundup of what’s new on Netflix (US) for this week, where we’ll be looking through all six new movies, seven new series, and a new mobile game added to the streamer so far this week.

Quite a few titles still to come this week, including not least the brand new Spy Kids movie that sees Robert Rodriguez returning to the director’s chair on the over-the-top franchise.

On the removal front, you only have hours left to watch In Darkness (2018) with other titles set to leave in the coming days, including The Vanishing (2018), My Mother’s Wound (2016), and Animal World (2018).

“Determined to win his first title, a college coach struggles to keep his life and team together when his quarterback goes on strike against the NCAA.”

If you’re a fan of All American and can’t wait for the new season, which has been delayed due to the strikes, this should be a perfect stopgap.

Today comes the bittersweet news that Sex Education has come to an end at the streaming service four years after the first touched down. It’s been a whirlwind adventure for the teens who have now moved up from High School into Sixth Form College.

Reviews haven’t been particularly strong for the final season, with DiscussingFilm noting that the final season falters under the weight of its giant cast.


New Amsterdam (Season 5)

Number of episodes: 13
Rating: TV-14
