(They have some catching up to do!)

Without further adieu, here’s a list of the prominent movies scheduled to be released. Let me know in the comments if there’s something you think I missed. I didn’t try to list every movie, just the noteworthy ones.

RunPee is one of my favourite apps. No more googling a film before you see it and risking spoilers, this app has everything you need to know, not just the best time to go to the toilet. Dan, the developer, also offers an amazing customer service experience. I recently switched phones, and Dan was very generous in sorting things out with me as I moved over to my current system. If you’re an avid film watcher, this is the app for you!
