The new installment of the Now You See Me series, which showed 'box office magic' worldwide, cemented its status as an anticipated November release with the full original four Horsemen (Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco, Isla Fisher) returning and the meeting with Venom director Ruben Fleischer. As a long-awaited series comeback, it promises an even larger-scale magic show, on-location shoots, and newly joined rising actors, upgrading the filmic elements. It will captivate audiences by promising movie-like magical entertainment that can only be felt in theaters. As Now You See Me 3 signals the start of the Hollywood blockbuster release relay, prospective audiences' expectations are overwhelming, and attention is on Now You See Me 3's box office performance in November.
Then on Nov. 26 (Wednesday), Disney animation Zootopia 2 opens. Zootopia 2 is an exhilarating chase adventure in which the returning top duo of Zootopia, Judy and Nick, pursue a mysterious snake, Gary, who shook the city, plunge into a new world, and investigate a perilous incident, and it is expected to captivate audiences of all ages with upgraded team chemistry between Nick and Judy and an enhanced scale of adventure.
Finally, in December the new Avatar film, Avatar: The Fire and the Fury, is set to open. Avatar: The Fire and the Fury will once again present an unimaginably expansive world on screen with more advanced technology, drawing audiences to theaters. James Cameron, who showed astonishing cinematic imagination with the Avatar series, is expected to deliver another 'legendary' sequel with Avatar: The Fire and the Fury.
With a variety of Hollywood blockbuster sequels set to launch a theatrical relay from November, raising anticipation among prospective audiences, Now You See Me 3, which will show new box office magic, can be seen in Korea starting Nov. 12 (Wednesday), earlier than in North America.
