Thanksgiving week is here and for many, that means a bit of extra time on their hands or few more family members in the house.
From animated Disney sequels to a thrilling fugitive tale, this year's theater lineup offers plenty of opportunities to get out and enjoy some time at the movies.
Frozen 2
Six years after the first wildly successful "Frozen" animated film, Disney has released a sequel just in time for the holidays.
Idina Menzel still carries the belting vocals of the movie's main character, Elsa, and the creative team remains largely the same. So, Elsa, Anna, Kristoff, our favorite funny snowman Olaf and a stinky reindeer all return to the screen to set out on a journey to find the origin of Elsa's powers and save the kingdom of Arendelle. The film's already broken records for Disney, so you'll probably want to get your hands on tickets ASAP.
A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood
It only takes one person to inspire a world of kindness. Based on the true story, #ABeautifulDayMovie in theaters this Thanksgiving.

Tom Hanks portrays the beloved character of Fred Rogers, the man behind Mister Rogers, in this feel-good film.
CNN's Brian Lowry praised Hanks's portrayal of the sing-song character's soft presence in a movie that focuses more on the storyline of Tom Junod, a jaded magazine writer who is assigned to write a profile of Rogers.
Based on a real-life friendship between Rogers and Junod, the film follows their pair's relationship as the children's TV personality leads Junod towards embracing the empathy and kindness that characterized Rogers.
Queen & Slim
Queen & Slim - In Theaters November
Listen to the Queen & Slim playlist on Spotify: https://queenandslim.lnk.to/playlist
From trailblazing, Emmy-winning writer Lena Waithe (Netflix’s Master of None) and Melina Matsoukas, the visionary director of some of this generation’s most powerful pop-culture experiences, including Beyonce’s “Formation” and the Nike “Equality” campaign, comes Makeready’s unflinching new drama, Queen & Slim.
While on a forgettable first date together in Ohio, a black man (Get Out’s Daniel Kaluuya) and a black woman (Jodie Turner-Smith, in her first starring feature-film role), are pulled over for a minor traffic infraction. The situation escalates, with sudden and tragic results, when the man kills the police officer in self-defense. Terrified and in fear for their lives, the man, a retail employee, and the woman, a criminal defense lawyer, are forced to go on the run. But the incident is captured on video and goes viral, and the couple unwittingly become a symbol of trauma, terror, grief and pain for people across the country.
As they drive, these two unlikely fugitives will discover themselves and each other in the most dire and desperate of circumstances, and will forge a deep and powerful love that will reveal their shared humanity and shape the rest of their lives.
Joining a legacy of films such as Bonnie and Clyde and Thelma & Louise, Queen & Slim is a powerful, consciousness-raising love story that confronts the staggering human toll of racism and the life-shattering price of violence.
Waithe wrote the script based on an original idea by bestselling author James Frey (A Million Little Pieces, Katerina). The feature-film directorial debut from Melina Matsoukas (executive producer of HBO’s Insecure) stars Academy Award® nominee Daniel Kaluuya as “Slim” and rising star Jodie Turner-Smith (Syfy’s Nightflyers), as “Queen.”
Waithe produces the film via her company, Hillman Grad Productions, along with Matsoukas via her production company, De La Revolución Films. Frey produces via his production company, 3BlackDot, alongside Andrew Coles and Michelle Knudsen.
Queen & Slim is financed by Makeready and will be distributed by Universal Pictures worldwide, with eOne handling distribution in select territories including the U.K. and Canada.

Emilia Clarke (HBO’s Game of Thrones), Henry Golding (A Simple Favor, Crazy Rich Asians), Michelle Yeoh and Emma Thompson star for director Paul Feig (A Simple Favor, Spy, Bridesmaids) in the romantic comedy Last Christmas, with a screenplay by Academy Award® winner Thompson (Sense and Sensibility, Bridget Jones’s Baby) and playwright Bryony Kimmings.
Kate (Emilia Clarke) harumphs around London, a bundle of bad decisions accompanied by the jangle of bells on her shoes, another irritating consequence from her job as an elf in a year-round Christmas shop. Tom (Henry Golding) seems too good to be true when he walks into her life and starts to see through so many of Kate’s barriers. As London transforms into the most wonderful time of the year, nothing should work for these two. But sometimes, you gotta let the snow fall where it may, you gotta listen to your heart.
Last Christmas features the music of George Michael, including the bittersweet holiday classic of the film’s title. The film will also premiere brand new unreleased material by the legendary Grammy-winning artist, who sold more than 115 million albums and recorded 10 No. 1 singles over the course of his iconic career.
The film is produced by BAFTA winner David Livingstone for Calamity Films, by Emma Thompson, and by Paul Feig and Jessie Henderson for Feigco Entertainment. The film is executive produced by Sarah Bradshaw.
If you're the type of person who starts preparing for Christmas the second Thanksgiving is over (or even before), "Last Christmas" may be the perfect pick.
From the director of "Bridesmaids," the festive movie follows Kate, played by Emilia Clarke, as she plods through what seems to be a spectacular series of undesirable situations. While working as a holiday elf, she meets Tom (Henry Golding), who may just be able to sprinkle her life with a bit of romance.

FORD v FERRARI | Official Trailer 2 [HD] | 20th Century FOX
One greased-up moviegoing option is "Ford v. Ferrari," with Matt Damon and Christian Bale reenacting a rivalry based on a real story. This adrenaline-fueled film pits the two auto makers against each other as the all-American car manufacturer attempts to build a race car revolutionary enough to leave Italian-bred Ferrari in the dust at the 1966 Le Mans race.
