Last Updated: July 15, 2020
Get ready for everything that's coming in 2020 with our movie release date calendar. With Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe getting underway and Star Wars taking a break until 2022 (as far as films go), 2020 is shaping up to be an interesting time for movies. It's also coming on the heels of a year that saw Avengers: Endgame unseat Avatar as the all-time highest grossing release and Disney secure a firm grip on the box office, save for a handful of smash-hits like Joker and IT Chapter Two.
The Mouse House is in a great position to dominate the 2020 box office as well, but will have to do battle with hotly-anticipated DCEU tentpoles, several buzzed-about horror movies, and even some comic book adaptations that are neither Marvel nor DC-related. And if all that wasn't enough, Daniel Craig will also be taking his long-awaited final bow as James Bond in the months ahead. It goes without saying, but there are a lot of films to keep track of this year - which is where we come in.
Enter Screen Rant's 2020 Movie Release Date Calendar. Obviously, there are going to be changes coming in the months ahead, but (as always) we'll strive to keep this list as up to date as possible.
