This month offers loads of movies belonging to a wide plethora of genres. That includes action flicks, dramas, comedies, horror, adventure, sci-fi, and thrillers.
Netflix is known for releasing a lot of content each month and their November movies’ release schedule is looking as heavy as it normally does. Some of them include Netflix original movies, such as: Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey a family musical; The Princess Switch: Switched Again a romantic comedy; Hillbilly Elegy a drama; The Christmas Chronicles 2 a comedy, and also a few other new movies. Netflix is certainly gearing up for the Holiday season.

Many films have been released digitally for the audience to view on-demand in the last seven months. There are a ton of VOD releases in November, those are Possessor: Uncut a sci-fi horror-thriller; The Dark and the Wicked a horror; Kindred a psychological horror-thriller; Jungleland a drama; Come Away a drama; Dating Amber a comedy-drama; The Nest a thriller; Dreamland a drama thriller; Fatman a dark comedy/action; Jiu Jitsu a fantasy action film all soon becoming available for VOD. Most of the VOD releases are also opening in select theatres before, or simultaneously, launching on digital platforms.
In the last three months, many theatres across various countries are reopened and new movies are getting released wherever theaters are available, instead of waiting for other theaters to come back in full form. But in the next two months, many are planning to close once again. Some November movies have a limited release in select theaters before they head to streaming, while others are having as wide a release possible. Those are Let Him Go a drama, Freaky a comedy thriller, Ammonite a romantic drama, and DreamWorks Animations’ The Croods: A New Age an adventure comedy film.
Check out the synopses and release dates for each of these November movies below.
