What Movies Will Be In Theaters In January 2022

Get Ready for January Movie Magic! (Because We All Need It)

January. It's that time of year where the holiday sparkle fades, the resolutions start to wobble, and... well, let's just say we could all use a little cheering up. Luckily, the movies are here to help! Think of January releases as the comfort food of cinema – maybe not the fanciest, but definitely satisfying.

So, grab your popcorn (or leftover holiday cookies, no judgment!), dim the lights, and let’s peek at what's hitting the big screen this January. Prepare for action, suspense, and maybe even a little bit of spooky fun. It's like a cinematic buffet, and you're invited!

Action-Packed Adventures to Kickstart the Year

Feeling the need for some adrenaline? Then you're in luck! January's bringing the heat with some seriously exciting action flicks. We're talking explosions, car chases, and heroes doing impossible things. It's the perfect way to escape those January blues.

Keep an eye out for movies like The 355, a spy thriller packed with an all-star female cast. Picture this: Jessica Chastain, Lupita Nyong'o, Diane Kruger, Penélope Cruz, and Fan Bingbing teaming up to save the world. It’s like the Avengers, but with even more fabulous outfits! Expect globe-trotting adventures and some seriously impressive fight scenes.

Suspenseful Thrills to Keep You on the Edge of Your Seat

If you prefer suspense that keeps you guessing, January has you covered there too. Get ready for twists, turns, and maybe a few jumpscares (but nothing too terrifying, we promise!). It’s the perfect genre for those cold winter nights.

One movie to look out for is Scream. This isn't just another sequel; it's a re-quel! That means it's both a reboot and a sequel, bringing back original cast members like Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, and David Arquette alongside a new generation of potential victims. Who's behind the Ghostface mask this time? You'll have to watch to find out... if you dare!

A Touch of Horror (Because Why Not?)

Okay, maybe "horror" is a strong word. Let's call it "thrills with a spooky vibe." Sometimes you just need a good scare to remind you you're alive, right? Plus, hiding behind a bucket of popcorn is great exercise for your arm muscles!

Fans of dark comedies and eerie settings might enjoy films that blend genres, such as The Wolf and the Lion. This movie has been delayed, but fingers crossed, it might finally hit the screen! It is about a wolf and a lion cub who become friends and explores friendship and human relation with nature. Prepare for heartwarming moments punctuated by moments of high drama.

Indie Gems & Hidden Treasures

While big-budget blockbusters get all the attention, don't forget about the smaller, indie films that often sneak into theaters in January. These are the hidden gems, the movies that surprise you with their originality and heart.

These movies can be harder to track down in advance, so check your local theaters' listings and keep an open mind. You might just discover your new favorite film!
