In my third edition of how the year is going so far, I’m now up to 181 titles released in 2025 (to the best of my knowledge). I have seen some films that have yet to secure distribution from film festivals, so they could be later titles. For now, I remain optimistic. Some big titles I still need to see include F1, M3gan 2.0, Friendship, Elio, and Mission Impossible: Final reckoning. Just to name a few.
