Maestro is a towering and fearless love story chronicling the lifelong relationship between Leonard Bernstein and Felicia Montealegre Cohn Bernstein. A love letter to life and art, Maestro at its core is an emotionally epic portrayal of family and love. Starring Bradley Cooper and Carey Mulligan

Wonka: Timothée Chalamet stars as the titular Willy Wonka, an up-and-coming chocolate maker desperate to make his mark selling the most glorious confections people have ever tasted! This is quite a lofty goal in a world where chocolate seems to be akin to actual currency, not to mention candy is currently being monopolized by a hidden chocolate cartel headed up by three shady businessmen secretly working in tandem (Matthew Baynton, Paterson Joseph, and Matt Lucas). Oh, and they have a chocaholic Chief of Police (Keegan-Michael Key) located firmly in their back pockets.

Rebel Moon: Part One – A Child of Fire: When a peaceful colony on the edge of a galaxy finds itself threatened by the armies of a tyrannical ruling force, Kora (Sofia Boutella), a mysterious stranger living among the villagers, becomes their best hope for survival. Tasked with finding trained fighters who will unite with her in making an impossible stand against the Mother World, Kora assembles a small band of warriors — outsiders, insurgents, peasants and orphans of war from different worlds who share a common need for redemption and revenge. As the shadow of an entire Realm bears down on the unlikeliest of moons, a battle over the fate of a galaxy is waged, and in the process, a new army of heroes is formed.

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom: After failing to defeat Aquaman the first time, Black Manta wields the power of the mythic Black Trident to unleash an ancient and malevolent force. Hoping to end his reign of terror, Aquaman forges an unlikely alliance with his brother, Orm, the former king of Atlantis. Setting aside their differences, they join forces to protect their kingdom and save the world from irreversible destruction.
