Sony Pictures 2023 Film Schedule

S​ony has some of the biggest franchises under its belt. With more Spider-Man adjacent movies and a new Ghostbusters film coming up, 2023 looks to be a good year for the movie studio. A few of their other big series will also be making a comeback to hopefully make a successful year at the box office. A little bit of everything seems to be on the calendar this year, so you are covered whether you want superhero films, action movies, rom-coms, or some sci-fi stories. What can we look forward to from Sony’s 2023 film schedule? Let’s find out.

6​5 – March 10

A​dam Driver stars in this sci-fi film as an astronaut from another world that has to crashland on an unknown planet. The only survivor besides himself is a young girl. They quickly discover that they are not alone. The planet is actually Earth, 65 million years ago. They must fight off the most dangerous dinosaurs on Earth to get to their escape pod. Seems like a fun sci-fi romp.

T​he Pope’s Exorcist – April 7

R​ussell Crowe stars in this movie based on the life of real-life priest Father Gabriele Amorth. He is thought to have performed over 100,000 exorcisms. The film will have a horror bent and show the priest’s battles with demons and possibly Satan himself. Russell Crowe vs. Satan seems like a great addition to Sony’s 2023 film schedule. Who wouldn’t want to see that?

Untitled George Foreman Biopic – April 28

J​ennifer Lawrence stars in this comedy as a woman who answers a Craigslist ad to go on a date with an awkward teen before he goes off to college. His parents placed the ad and want him to go on an actual date before he leaves. This, of course, leads to all sorts of awkward hi-jinks.

K​raven The Hunter – October 6

A​ spin-off of the Spider-Man series, this follows Sergei Kravinoff (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) as he sets out to prove he is the greatest hunter in the world.

He could eventually show up in the planned Sinister Six film that Sony has been trying to get together ever since the Andrew Garfield-led Spider-Man films.

G​hosbusters: Afterlife Sequel – December 20
