Movies to Watch in Theaters This Winter Break

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Pepperdine chapter.

Looking for something to do this weekend? Trying to figure out what you want to do with your friends once break starts? Why not go watch a movie? Here are just a few movies that you might be interested in seeing!

 

1. Coco

This is the new Pixar movie that was released in theaters on November 22. I personally haven’t watched this movie yet, but it is something I definitely want to see because of Pixar’s reputation for making phenomenal movies. This would be a good movie to watch during winter break with your family, especially with younger siblings. I have also heard great reviews from friends who have already watched this.

 

2. Ferdinand

This is another family-friendly movie that is coming to theaters December 15. It is an animated film about a bull named Ferdinand. This would be another movie that is made for you to take younger siblings to watch. But if you don’t have a younger sibling, this could be a light, fun movie to watch too.

 

3. Justice League

If you love superhero movies, then you should definitely go watch this movie in theaters. You should hurry to see it too, because it came out November 17.

 

4. Pitch Perfect 3

I have watched both of its previous movies, and they were both phenomenal, so I am really excited to see how the third movie will turn out. If you haven’t seen any of the Pitch Perfect movies, you should definitely try watching it, and I would recommend that you watch it in order! This movie is coming out December 22, so make sure to keep your eye out for it.

 

5. Wonder

I think this movie is more on the heartfelt side, so if you are looking for a heartwarming story that’s inspirational, then this is the movie for you. This one is actually a novel turned movie, so I think I might actually read the book before watching this in theaters. This movie is actually already out in theaters. It came out on November 17, so don’t miss your chance to watch this!

 

6. Star Wars: The Last Jedi

 On December 15, the next another Star War movie is coming to the big screens, so you Star Wars fans out there, be sure to go watch it.

 

7. Thor: Ragnorak

This is yet another superhero movie, but specifically, it tells the story of Thor. It came out November 3, which was quite a while ago, so be sure to check online to see if it is showing if you are planning to watch this. I read some of the reviews and from what I see, people either loved it or hated it. The people who hated it said that it was too comical for an action movie, and those who loved it did because it was funny.
