I go goo-goo for the movies (CREDIT: Universal/Screenshot)

They keep making new movies, and some of them are even worth watching. Here’s what’s at the top of the slate for October 2026:

Verity: Anne Hathaway plays the titular incapacitated writer, while Dakota Johnson plays another writer hired to help her finish a book series. Josh Hartnett also stars. It’s based on a Colleen Hoover novel, although the trailer is giving more Freida McFadden vibes.

Truly, Verity will be in theaters on October 2.
