2025 is in full swing, and with March just around the corner, it’s time for you to look ahead at the movies and series scheduled to depart Netflix throughout the month of March. The biggest notable TV series leaving is The Mindy Project, while hit films like Scooby-Doo and Love Again, among others, are also set to depart.
As always, Netflix’s library is constantly evolving. That means new titles are always on the way, but because Netflix licenses titles from big distributors, they’re not always on Netflix forever. When this license (or rental period) comes to an end, the movie or series leaves Netflix.
Note: This list will be constantly updated throughout February as we learn of more series and movies set to leave (typically 30 days before their departure). In the last few weeks of the month, Netflix...

Twelve years have gone by since the release of a new entry in the Scary Movie horror parody series – but the franchise isn’t going to remain dormant for much longer. Last April, it was announced that the Miramax label at Paramount, which is now operating under new boss Jonathan Glickman, had given the greenlight to a new Scary Movie sequel, with the plan being to get the film into theatres sometime in 2025. Now we know exactly when the new movie is going to be released… but it’s not going to be this year. Scary Movie 6 is scheduled to reach theatres on June 12, 2026. As of right now, we know this is going to put it in direct competition with the next movie from the Daniels, the directing duo behind Best Picture Oscar winner Everything Everywhere All at Once.

"My Name Is Earl" is one of those sitcoms that remains beloved to a select group of fans but never really caught on in the zeitgeist in a way like "The Office" or "30 Rock" did. It had a great, heartwarming premise of the titular Earl (Jason Lee) wanting to make amends to all the people he's wronged in his troublemaking life. Earl typically hung around an eclectic group of characters to help (or hinder) him along his journey, and there was the potential for the show to make some big waves had it been allowed to continue.
Sadly, "My Name Is Earl" was canceled after four seasons due to negotiation issues between the network and the studio. It was an anticlimactic development, especially seeing as season 4 ended on a cliffhanger with the revelation that Darnell (Eddie Steeples) wasn't the father to Earl Jr.

Marlon, Shawn, and Keenen Ivory Wayans are shaking the cobwebs off the Scary Movie franchise. On Tuesday, the brothers formally announced their return to the comedy horror series for a six installment. News of the comedy horror revival first made headlines in April during Paramount’s CinemaCon.

We have a new trailer for Undercover Brother 2, which is probably an assortment of words nobody expected to find themselves reading today. Indeed, Universal Pictures has pulled something of a fast one on all of us by putting together this direct-to-video sequel to its 2001 predecessor rather quietly. Though, it seems to be a sequel mostly in name only, as we've got an entirely new cast, with Michael Jai White as our new titular hero.
The trailer is admittedly brief, clocking in at just 30 seconds, which is normally what we can expect from a TV spot. But this appears to be a very small budget, low-key affair. Though, for those familiar with the 2002 movie, many of the same elements are at play here. We've got the organization known as The Brotherhood, who are tasked with trying to take down The Man. It's all coated in 70s sheen and layers of cheese.

Netflix has picked up “Mr. Iglesias,” the Gabriel Iglesias comedy, for a second season, the streamer announced on Thursday.
The multi-camera comedy stars the comedian as a good-natured public high school teacher who works at his alma mater and teaches gifted, misfit kids to not only save them from being “counseled out” by a bully bureaucrat assistant principal, but also to help them unlock their full potential.
Showrunner Kevin Hench will return for Season 2 and will serve as executive producer alongside Iglesias, Ron DeBlasio and Joe Meloche.

Marlon Wayans of White Chicks fame, is set to star in a new Netflix comedy called Sextuplets and he will play six different characters in the film! Wayans is known for his silly comedy movie work, so it's not surprising to see him take on a project like this. Here are the story details:
Sextuplets tells the story of Alan (Wayans), a man embarking on a personal journey to meet his birth mother before the arrival of his first child. When Alan meets his brother, Russell, he discovers that he was born a sextuplet and decides to seek out his four other siblings (all played by Wayans). Together, the two brothers set out on a road trip to track down the rest of the family that they’ve never known, and Alan quickly realizes he may have gotten more than he bargained for.

Netflix has given a 10-episode series order to a multi-camera comedy starring Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias as part of a three-project deal that also includes two new stand-up specials headlined by the comedian.
The pact expands Iglesias’ presence on Netflix. The Internet network previously ordered a special, I’m Sorry For What I Said When I Was Hungry, which premiered on its streaming platform in 2016, and also carries two older Gabriel Iglesias Comedy Central standup specials.
For the multi-cam comedy series, Iglesias has reteamed with Cristela co-creator/executive producer Kevin Hench. It was on the ABC multi-camera comedy, co-created, executive produced and starring comedian Cristela Alonso, where Iglesias landed his first big TV series role — he was a major recurring player on the sitcom. ABC proceeded to take two shots at launching a comedy series headlined by Iglesias, with the multi-camera The Fluffy Shop, which went to pilot in 2016, and another project,...

The entertainment industry just chalked up another victory armed with a potent legal tool: California’s Slapp law. The most recent win was by actor Marlon Wayans, who won dismissal last month of a lawsuit by a movie extra who claimed that Wayans racially harassed him on Twitter and on the movie set for “A Haunted House 2.” A California Court of Appeal ruled that the Slapp statute gave Wayans the power to quickly dismiss the lawsuit by movie extra Pierre Daniel because Wayans’ “allegedly harassing and offensive” tweets and verbal jabs were protected “free speech” in connection with “an issue of.

Thanks to a published ruling out on Thursday from a California appeals court, we can envision the film A Haunted House 2 coming up repeatedly in future disputes in the state of California. Among other things, a 50-page opinion by associate justice Jeffrey Johnson discusses the intersection between racial harassment and speech, examines whether "nigga" is a epithet when spoken by a black man, and not last nor least, addresses a celebrity's Twitter following while determining that a single tweet can make transformative use of someone else's identity.
Haunted House 2 starred Marlon Wayans, and in a very minor role, Pierre Daniel.

E! News is reporting that The Flash has cast Ashley Rickards as Rosalind "Rosa" Dillion a.k.a. The Top and she'll make her debut as the extremely dangerous DC Comics villain in the fourth episode of the upcoming third season. Rickards' iteration will be a new take on The Top, a male character in the comics, but she'll retain the same metahuman abilities, which are to make people's heads spin. Her version will also likely share a fairly intimate relationship with Grey Damon's Mirror Master as she's being teased as the Bonnie to his Clyde. Rickards is best known for her lead role as Jenna Hamilton on MTV's comedy drama series Awkward and has also guest-starred on episodes of Zoey 101, Ugly Betty, One Tree Hill, Entourage, and American Horror Story: Murder House. Her film credits include Fly Away, Sassy Pants, A Haunted House 2, and Behaving Badly.

While January isn't typically a big month for box office blockbusters, there can be the occasional movie that opens big. Two weeks ago, Ride Along 2 breathed some life into the new year with a respectable $35.2 million opening frame, but last weekend, it dropped a whopping 64.7% and slipped from first to third place, with the holdover The Revenant taking the top spot in its fifth week in theaters. This weekend is shaping up to be the biggest frame of the new year so far, with three heavily-promoted new releases, Kung Fu Panda 3, Fifty Shades of Black and The Finest Hours. Box Office Mojo is reporting that Kung Fu Panda 3 took the top spot at the box office with $41 million.
Kung Fu Panda 3 is expected to easily take the top spot with a projected $48 million, which isn't terribly surprising given this franchise's pedigree of critical acclaim and box office success.

One of the early box office hits this year was Universal's Fifty Shades of Grey, which took in over $500 million worldwide, and set the pace for the studio's record-breaking year. Unfortunately for fans of this movie, and the E.L. James novel it's based on, the sequel Fifty Shades Darker won't be hitting theaters until February 2017, but Open Road Films has a new movie that could help to fill the void, Fifty Shades of Black. The studio is helping fans kick off 2016 in the right way, with a video featuring New Year's Resolutions from Christian Black (Marlon Wayans).
These resolutions include "Become a Better Person," "Be More Generous," "Drink Less Alcohol," "Eat Healthier," "Explore New Cultures" and "Always Be Prepared."

In an official statement, Wayans said: "Sex and comedy go hand-in-hand and I'm looking forward to having fun with this project. It's amazing when a film of this caliber comes along begging to be made fun of.
"I'm really happy to be doing what I love with people I love to do it with. That double entendre was intentional."

The movie stars Ed Helms as a grown-up Rusty Griswold who seemingly wants to take his kids on his childhood vacation to Walley World. Some crude and filthy jokes later, we get a pretty solid first trailer that takes aim at the absurdity of it all.
The film also stars Christina Applegate, Leslie Mann, Chris Hemsworth, Steele Stebbins, Beverly D’Angelo, Skyler Gisondo, Nick Kroll, Charlie Day, Kaitlin Olson, Regina Hall, and Keegan-Michael Key.
Vacation opens in theaters on July 31st.
Here’s the synopsis:
The next generation of Griswolds is at it again. New Line Cinema’s “Vacation,” starring Ed Helms (“The Hangover” films) and Christina Applegate (the “Anchorman” films), takes the family on the road for another ill-fated adventure.

A new generation of Griswolds hit the road once again to visit WalleyWorld in the new red band trailer for Vacation. This remake even pokes fun at itself, as Rusty Griswold (Ed Helms) states that the new Vacation will "stand on its own." We also get a brief montage of footage from the original Vacation, which segues into Clark (Chevy Chase) and Ellen Griswold (Beverly D'Angelo) welcoming their son Rusty to their home.
New Line Cinema's Vacation starring Ed Helms (The Hangover films) and Christina Applegate (the Anchorman films), takes the family on the road for another ill-fated adventure. The film marks Jonathan M. Goldstein and John Francis Daley's directorial debut.

The next generation of Griswolds is at it again in Vacation, starring Ed Helms (The Hangover) and Christina Applegate (Anchorman 1&2), who take the family on the road for another ill-fated adventure.
Following in his father’s footsteps and hoping for some much-needed family bonding, a grown-up Rusty Griswold (Helms) surprises his wife, Debbie (Applegate), and their two sons with a cross-country trip back to America’s “favorite family fun park,” Walley World.
Rounding out the cast are Leslie Mann (The Other Woman) as Rusty’s sister, Audrey; Chris Hemsworth (Thor) in the role of Stone Crandall, Rusty’s irritatingly successful brother-in-law; and Skyler Gisondo (Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb) and Steele Stebbins (A Haunted House 2), who play Rusty’s sons, James and Kevin. Chevy Chase and Beverly D’Angelo reprise their roles as Clark and Ellen Griswold from the classic “Vacation” comedies.

The Griswolds are back and the torch is being passed from Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo to Ed Helms and Christina Applegate as Helms plays Rusty Griswold in the new Vacation movie and here comes the film's first red band trailer. Following in his father's footsteps and hoping for some much-needed family bonding, a grown-up Rusty Griswold (Helms) surprises his wife, Debbie (Applegate), and their two sons with a cross-country trip back to America's "favorite family fun park," Walley World. So, yes, it's returning to where it all started and based on this trailer there will be more than just a few callbacks to the original films which will either play as incredibly stale or as a loving homage, but this thing is going to have to bring more to the table than simply bringing back old jokes if it hopes to land with today's audiences. Also in the cast...

The middle of Spring actually means a new selection of summer blockbusters to look forward to, and with a ton of big-budget films slated to come out within the next few months and beyond, the summer of 2015 looks like one to remember.
From the new Mad Max (which is already on our end-of -year top ten list event though we haven’t yet seen it) to Avengers, Poltergeists, male strippers, talking teddy bears, and a reboot of the Jurassic Park franchise, this summer’s trips to the theaters will be jam-packed with sequels and new tales. From May 1st right through to the end of August, some of the movies on our list could wind up on year-end “best of” lists or even receive some Oscar talk by December.
Grab your calendar, because Wamg has a rundown of this summer’s films we’re most excited about, so check them out below!

The Wall Street Journal reports “overall North American box-office receipts and attendance for 2014 declined more than 5% to $10.35 billion from $10.92 billion in 2013, according to box-office tracker Rentrak Corp. – the worst results since 2011.”
Kicking off 2015 with “Best of” lists and awards season on the minds of many Cinephiles, we offer our look back at the worst of 2014. Some awful, some horrendous, we were disappointed and flummoxed by some of the movies Tinseltown released into theaters (and on moviegoers) over the past 12 months.

The 2014 Razzie nominations short list has arrived and it’s predominantly movies you’d expect to be in contention for worst of the year (dis)honors, but there are a couple of surprising selections in the mix, namely Noah and The Interview. No, they’re not the greatest, but they’re not bad movies either, let alone the worst. However, Transformers: Age of Extinction certainly deserves its nine Razzie short list positions and the same goes for A Million Ways to Die in the West and The Legend of Hercules and their eight possible nominations. The nominating ballots for the 35th Razzies just went out at the end of December so we won’t know which films scored the nods until the nominees are officially announced on Wednesday, January 14th. After that, final ballots are sent out and then the winners are revealed on Saturday, February 21st, the day before the 87th Annual Academy Awards.

Award season is once again upon us, a time when we celebrate all the best films of 2014… and all the movies we never want to see again. The annual Golden Raspberry Awards have announced their shortlist of contenders, with Seth McFarlane's western-comedy A Million Ways to Die in the West leading the charge with eight potential nominations on the Razzies shortlist. The Cameron Diaz comedy Sex Tape also pops up in five shortlisted categories ranging from Worst Picture to Worst Screenplay to Worst Screen Combo for Diaz and Jason Segel.

2014 was a bit of a mixed bag for comedy on the silver screen. Sure, there were some very funny films last year. The Lego Movie surprised just about everyone with its wit, The Muppets Most Wanted and 22 Jump Street were worthy sequels and The Grand Budapest Hotel enchanted everyone with its whimsy.
Then there was the bad, ugly and unfunny side of 2014’s comedy output. Sex Tape barely raised a titter, Dumb And Dumber To paled in comparison to the original and the less said about Let’s Be Cops and A Haunted House 2, the better.
As a genre, comedy can be hit-and-miss at the best of times. At the end of the day, we are all amused by different things and what makes one person keel over in fits of hysterical giggles may leave another person completely stone-faced. It’s just the way it is and comedy films...

The Interview has been performing well in its limited theatrical and online VOD release, taking in more than $15 million from online sales and rentals. The comedy has already expanded to cable VOD, Playstation, Vudu and more theaters nationwide. Despite its early success, The Interview has not been received well by at least one organization, The Golden Raspberry Awards, a.k.a. The Razzies, which has released its "short list" of nominees. The Interview is listed in several categories including Worst Picture, Worst On-Screen Combo (James Franco and Seth Rogen) and Worst Actor (both James Franco and Seth Rogen). Voting for the Razzie Awards ends on January 10, with the nominations to be announced January 14, one day before The Academy Awards nominations are announced.
Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas, which was already voted the worst movie of all time by IMDb users, is also prominently featured on the short list, with nominations for Worst Picture,...

It seems every year I have this debate with myself whether or not to do a "worst of" list. Aren't the worst films of any year best forgotten, ignored, never to be mentioned againc Well, yes and no. Let's definitely forget them, but not forget the lessons they've taught us, lessons in what not to do, lessons of which 2014 was full of. Now before you go digging into this list, clicking the reviews and wondering how something that received a "D+" review could make the list over something that received a "D-", just understand grading movies isn't a science and, for me, what makes something the "worst" is very similar to what makes something the "best", it's the legacy the film holds in my mind. The films that made my "Top Ten Movies of 2014" are films I not only love, but films I hold fond memories for and would most...

For every year that is packed with awards season fodder and memorable movies that will go down in history, there is an equal number of films we wish we could erase from our memories.
The Worst of 2014 includes both people who should know better and repeat offenders, artists with a vision and hucksters out for a quick buck.
Here’s hoping the responsible parties resolve to do better in 2015.

Netflix streaming is upping the ante this December, adding enough high-profile TV shows and movies to more than make up for last month's lackluster offerings.
On the movie side, highlights include Will Ferrell and gang in "Anchorman 2," the Heath Ledger-starring "A Knight's Tale," Cameron Crowe classic "Almost Famous," Oscar-winning "American Beauty," and horror hits "Oculus" and "Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones." Oh, and let's not forget '80s classic "Troop Beverly Hills," '90s cult favorite "Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion," or Leonardo DiCaprio in "The Wolf of Wall Street."
And there's plenty to love about what's coming on the TV front: "American Horror Story: Coven" finally gets its day on Netflix, "Sharknado 2" storms its way to streaming, and Brit hit "Broadchurch" finally lands stateside. Oh, and December sees the premiere of the hotly anticipated Netflix Original series "Marco Polo" on the 12th.

News was released just yesterday that indie distributor A24 secured a $50 million line of credit, which it will use "to build out its film distribution business and finance initiatives in complementary industry verticals, it said." This is a studio responsible for films such as Under the Skin, Enemy, The Rover, Locke and more from this year alone. And while there may have been some misses in their lineup, they are a studio showing they aren't afraid of a little risk. While A24 isn't distributing Dan Gilroy's Nightcrawler, they are one of the few younger studios along with Nightcrawler distributor Open Road willing to release features that might otherwise be forgotten. Already this year Open Road has brought us Chef and will later deliver Jon Stewart's Rosewater and while they are more likely to also bring us something like A Haunted House 2 than A24, they also distributed Steven Soderbergh...

Chicago – The opening text to “Annabelle” comically clues its audience into the significance of dolls - beloved child play things, and/or vessels for evil spirits, whatever floats your boat.
This spin-off of the mute toy from “The Conjuring” (as later made love to intensely by Marlon Wayans in “A Haunted House 2”) presents a different usage as well, that of taking up shelf space.
Rating: 1.5/5.0
Like second-class beers from booze conglomerates or some Adam Sandler movies, “Annabelle” is most of a dibs on marquee room by the “Conjuring” franchise, the sleeper hit in 2013 not just a sequel but also a restless ongoing lawsuit concerning ownership to its not-so-true story. All of this achieved without the main force of evil, a doll, having to lift a finger. Or, blinking.

Rosemary’s Scabies: Leonetti Does His Best James Wan Impression
Sure to take its place on future lists of cinematographer’s unfortunate attempts at directing, John R. Leonetti’s Annabelle, a sort-of prequel to a subplot from 2013’s The Conjuring, is technically assured though lacking in anything innately original or insidiously creepy. Basically another bargain basement housewife-in-peril horror film, Gary Dauberman’s script plays like another cheap Rosemary’s Baby knock-off, attempting to prove that a Los Angeles apartment complex is just as spooky as anything you’ll encounter in Manhattan. With no time wasted on comic relief as it takes itself surprisingly seriously (you can forget about all those Marlon Wayans shenanigans with ‘Abigail’ from A Haunted House 2), Leonetti leaves most of the heavy lifting to our own familiarity with the basic material and our lowered expectations with carbon copy.

When it comes to unexplainable creepiness, dolls are right up there with innocent, towheaded children and small towns where no one locks their doors. That's probably why people are hot to trot to see "Annabelle," the kinda sorta spin-off of "The Conjuring" that opened last night to the tune of $2.1 million.
There's nothing scarier than something you love gain consciousness, turn evil, and try to kill you and everyone you've ever loved. Especially a beloved toy like Woody, from "Toy Story." He's the best friend you could ever have, right? He's like a cooler, nicer, less bigoted version of John Wayne! He's adorable! Except it seems like he's been hanging out with Annabelle, that tiny monstrosity we first saw in "The Conjuring." She was just another evil freaking doll locked up in Ed and Lorraine Warren's special room dedicated to demonically possessed stuff back then. You might have even...

Principal Photography Begins On New Line Cinema’s Vacation Starring Ed Helms and Christina Applegate
“It’s a Long Way Down The Holiday Road!”
The next generation of Griswolds is at it again. Shooting has begun in Georgia on New Line Cinema’s Vacation, starring Ed Helms (“The Hangover” films) and Christina Applegate (the “Anchorman” films) on the road for another ill-fated adventure.
The film marks Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley’s directorial debut.
Following in his father’s footsteps and hoping for some much-needed family bonding, a grown-up Rusty Griswold (Helms) surprises his wife, Debbie (Applegate), and their two sons with a cross-country trip back to America’s “favorite family fun park,” Walley World.
Rounding out the cast are Chris Hemsworth (the “Thor” films) in the role of Stone Crandall, Rusty’s irritatingly successful brother-in-law; Charlie Day (the “Horrible Bosses” films), who plays a river rafting guide; and Skyler Gisondo (“Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb,” “Hard Sell”) and Steele Stebbins...

The flick stars Ed Helms as a grown-up Rusty Griswold, and Christina Applegate plays his wife, Debbie.
