There are only a few days left in November, and we all know what that means. Netflix is about to lose some good movies! If you're looking for what to watch on Netflix, this is the list for you.

With the month winding down, we picked the three best movies leaving Netflix in November 2024. We highly recommend watching these movies before they leave in a few days.

At the end of every month, Netflix usually loses the streaming rights to at least a handful of licensed movies. Some of these movies are the most popular movies on Netflix, but more often than not, it's older films.

Let's get the list started with Two Weeks Notice -- which you don't have to watch these movies; it's more like five days notice -- starring Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant!

Two Weeks Notice

Last day to watch: Saturday, Nov. 30

A Man Called Otto is a comedy-drama film directed by Marc Foster from a screenplay by David Magee. Based on the 2012 novel A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman and its 2015 Swedish adaptation of the same name by Hannes Holm, the 2022 film follows a lonely widower who sees no purpose in life and decides to take a drastic step but when his...

The curse of success is a fascinating thing in Hollywood. It has always been a "What have you done for me lately?" business. In the case of director Andy Muschietti, in the fall of 2017, he delivered Warner Bros. the biggest horror movie of all time when he nailed an adaptation of Stephen King's much-beloved novel "It." While King's novel had previously been adapted as a TV miniseries in the '90s, Muschietti's take on the material resonated with audiences in a way that nobody could have predicted. The great news for all involved is that King's novel is an unwieldy beast that no one movie could possibly hope to contain.

So, Warner Bros. enlisted Muschietti to get to work right away on a sequel,...

When you think of the DC live-action universe, Swamp Thing might not be the first thing that comes to your mind. Sitting somewhere in the back of our minds, Gary Dauberman’s show seems like a distant memory at best. Of course, its tragic fate in the superhero universe might have had something to do with this.

Shortly after its premiere, Swamp Thing was pulled off the stage and canceled before the rest of its episodes were released. Fans have still not forgotten the ill-treatment of the show and are calling DC out for giving up on it so easily and leaving the audience begging for more, especially as they reminisce on one iconic scene from the pilot episode.

Pennywise is breaking his 27-year curse and returning to Derry sooner than expected. Joining him are Taylour Paige, Jovan Adepo, Chris Chalk, and James Remar, who have all been added to the cast, Variety reported on April 5. Like many other details about the show, their specific roles are being kept under wraps.

HBO Max announced that an "It" prequel series titled "Welcome to Derry" was in the works on March 29, 2022, and officially gave it the green light on Feb. 23. The series, inspired by Stephen King's horror classic, will explore life in Derry leading up to Pennywise's tirade on the Losers Club before the razor-toothed killer clown's misdeeds led Georgie to his unfortunate fate in that rainy sewer drain.

However, there's a big caveat. On March 28, in an interview with Jake's Takes, Bill Skarsgård, who received critical acclaim for his role as Pennywise,...

James Mangold may be bringing one of DC’s creepiest heroes to life. The “Logan” and “Ford v. Ferrari” director is reportedly in early talks to tackle “Swamp Thing,” one of the upcoming films from DC Studio’s first chapter of movies under James Gunn and Peter Safran’s command, THR first reported Wednesday.

It’s unclear whether Mangold would both write and direct the film or his exact involvement. Mangold did however seem to confirm his interest on his Twitter, via a post with a panel from the character’s comic series, drawn by co-creator Bernie Wrightson. The post was also retweeted by Gunn.

— Mangold (@mang0ld) February 1, 2023

Representatives from Warner Bros. Discovery. Sources told IndieWire that Mangold is a longtime “Swamp Thing” fan who approached the new regime at DC with his idea for the film, and that he will both direct and write should the project go forward.

"It" is one of Stephen King's most beloved novels. The horror story has terrified readers since it debuted in 1986. "It" features some of the most disturbing moments that King has ever created, and that's no small statement. While the story itself is horrifying, "It" explores the lasting impact of childhood trauma. The coming-of-age elements make "It" one of King's most heartfelt stories. Children and adults can feel inspired by seeing the Losers' Club overcome their fears.

Given the book's popularity, a film adaptation was nearly guaranteed. "It" was first adapted as a two-part miniseries in 1990, starring Tim Curry as Pennywise the Clown. The first episode showed the youthful adventures of the Losers' Club, and the second episode flashed forward to their time as adults. While there is a lot of nostalgia for the 1990 "It," the miniseries doesn't quite capture all the nuances that made the novel so beloved.

Director...

Aunjanue Ellis, who plays Venus and Serena Williams’ mother, Oracene, in King Richard, said her character deserves more credit, including from herself.

The film tells the story of how the Williams sisters’ father, Richard Williams (Will Smith), designed a plan for their tennis success. Ellis spoke with Deadline’s Joe Utichi about her performance at Contenders New York on Saturday.

“Before, I had a perception of her that I know so many people have that she was this doting mother in the stands who was always there cheering her daughters on,” Ellis said. “She wore these glasses. She was a woman of mystery but we didn’t know her.”

When Ellis began researching Oracene, even she took issue with sites like Wikipedia calling her Venus and Serena’s coach. The more Ellis researched, she realized how wrong she was.

“I felt...

With King Richard, director Reinaldo Marcus Green and screenwriter Zach Baylin looked to tell the story of tennis stars Venus and Serena Williams, and of the parents who spurred them to greatness, honing in less on the public record of the sisters’ accomplishments in the sports world and more on lesser-known aspects of their personal history.

“There are many iconic moments in their life, and I think we worked hard to try to find the moments we didn’t know,” said Baylin during Deadline’s Contenders Film: Los Angeles award-season event. “Really what happened inside the house and not just the SportsCenter highlights of their life and career.”

King Richard sees Will Smith portraying Venus (Saniyya Sidney) and Serena Williams’ (Demi Singleton) undeterred father, Richard, who was instrumental in helping the extraordinarily gifted athletes to fulfill their potential.

Exclusive: Bruce McGill (Rizzoli & Isles), Maria Sten (Swamp Thing) and Hugh Thompson (Chapelwaite) have been tapped as series regulars opposite Alan Ritchson in the upcoming Amazon original series Reacher, based on the Jack Reacher character from Lee Child’s international bestselling books.

Ritchson stars as the title character in the series, produced by Amazon Studios, Skydance Television and Paramount Television Studios. The first season, written, exec produced and showrun by Nick Santora, is based on the first Jack Reacher novel, The Killing Floor, which is set in Georgia.

McGill will play Mayor Teale, the distinguished mayor of Margrave, who comes from a long line of Southern gentlemen who have run Margrave for decade.

Sten will portray the irreverent Frances Neagley. She formerly worked under Reacher as an Army MP and now is a private investigator, she is Reacher’s best friend.

Thompson will play Baker, the head cop of Margrave.

Due to The CW's regular shows being delayed by the pandemic, the smallest network has decided to license and air preexisting series. Swamp Thing originated on the DC Universe streaming service and was cancelled after one season. While airing episodes on The CW seems unlikely to spawn a second season renewal at this point, perhaps the characters' story could continue in some way. After all, John Constantine (another DC Comics character) found new life on CW's Arrow and DC's Legends of Tomorrow after Constantine was cancelled by NBC. Could something like that happen again? Stay tuned.

The CW is adding some more shows to its scripted slate ahead of Thursday's fall schedule reveal.

DC Universe's one-and-done Swamp Thing, Serinda Swan's Coroner, and UK comedy, Dead Pixels.

The trio of pickups comes just hours after the news dropped that the network was adding Paul Wesley-led Tell Me a Story to its lineup.

With Tell Me a Story, the series was also canceled today, so it's not yet clear what made the network pull the trigger on a pickup.

It's possible that the fee to air the show dropped considerably with the cancellation.

Swamp Thing was a high profile series last year. It garnered critical acclaim but was canceled just one day after its DC Universe premiere.

Swamp Thing follows Dr. Abby Arcane (Gotham‘s Crystal Reed) as she investigates what seems to be a deadly swamp-born virus in a small town in Louisiana.

The CW has acquired former DC Universe series Swamp Thing, based on the DC character, along with Canadian drama Coroner and half-hour British comedy Dead Pixels, from BBC Studios, in their U.S. debuts. All will premiere on broadcast and the network’s free ad-supported streaming platforms. They join previously announced Tell Me A Story, from CBS All Access. Premiere dates and times will be announced later.

The CW is known for using acquired scripted series as summer programming. This year is different as there is a lot of uncertainty over when TV series will be able to go into production amid the coronavirus pandemic, so it is possible that the CW would use some of the acquisitions for late summer or fall to give its originals more time to produce new episodes. The CW is expected to unveil its fall schedule on Thursday.

Only hours after Fox announced it will air season 1 of the Spectrum series “L.A.’s Finest” this fall, the CW has gone three better by acquiring the broadcast rights to four different series, among them “Swamp Thing” from DC Universe and “Tell Me a Story” from CBS All Access.

In additional news, the Kevin Williamson-created anthology thriller has been canceled by All Access, Variety has confirmed, meaning that the show will end at two seasons, both of which will be heading to CW for a second-window run and will remain available to stream on All Access.

The other two shows that CW has picked up are “Coroner” (two seasons) and “Dead Pixels” (one season), which hail from Canada and the U.

When I was about 10 I had a friend whose parents really didn’t seem too bothered what he got up to. I remember thinking at the time how incredibly lucky he was (the thick dust that coated everything and gave me allergies didn’t set any alarm bells ringing… his parents swore! How cool!). This meant when I went for a sleep over we could watch whatever, totally inappropriate horror films we liked. We would scare ourselves witless with Freddy Krueger, the Thing and It. As a child I was traumatised by Stephen King’s It… I don’t remember exactly how young I was when I saw the made for TV movies, but I was too young. Over a summer holiday in Switzerland I...

I was just the right age for Swamp Thing when he shambled into comics back in the early 1970s. I had years of super-heroes committed to memory so I was primed for something different. Along came Len Wein and Bernie Wrightson’s creation and it dealt nicely with familiar horror tropes but with enough of a twist to feel different along with continuing characters and exquisite artwork.

The arrival of Swamp Thing on DC Universe was equally well-timed in that we’ve had plenty of super-hero films and live-action television so it was a welcome addition to their initial lineup. Then came the news that there was trouble on the set, the series order was cut, then canceled after one ten-episode season. We were left with plenty of unfulfilled potential.

For those who missed out on the show, Warner Home Entertainment has released Swamp Thing the Complete Series in a fine Blu-ray package.

Network: Starz

Seasons: Six

TV show dates: June 7, 2014 -- February 9, 2020

This dramatic series follows the brilliant and debonair owner of the Truth nightclub in New York -- James "Ghost" St. Patrick (Omari Hardwick). He also happens to be one of the largest drug distributors in the city. He and his best friend Tommy created his drug empire from nothing. While the club is a front to wash money, Ghost decides he wants to finally leave the drug world and go legitimate but that's easier said than done.

A few decades ago we’d often get three or four different Stephen King adaptations a year in theaters and on television, and 2019 feels like a throwback because it’s got so many new ones: “It Chapter Two,” In the Tall Grass,” “Pet Sematary,” season 2 of “Castle Rock,” and “Doctor Sleep.” That’s a lot of Stephen King things.

Based on the adult-focused parts of Stephen King’s iconic novel, “It Chapter Two” takes place 27 years after the first film. The Losers Club, now adults who have gone their separate ways, reluctantly reunite in Derry to fulfill the blood oath they made to each other and finish off the evil Pennywise once and for all. Director/writer pair Andy Muschietti and Gary Dauberman return, with James McAvoy, Jessica Chastain, Bill Hader, Isaiah Mustafa, Jay Ryan, James Ransone and Andy Bean playing the older versions of the Losers Club members.

It Chapter Two is the supernatural horror sequel to its first chapter in 2017, It, both directed by Andy Muschietti and based off Stephen King's exemplary 1,138 word novel. It reintroduces the kids from the first chapter as mostly successful adults who've done their best to move on from the traumatic summer of 1989. James McAvoy plays the main protagonist, Bill Denbrough, who has become a novelist with an actress wife, Jessica Chastain plays Beverly Marsh as a well known, Chicago-based fashion designer, Bill Hader plays Richie Tozier as a famous La based comedian, James Ransome plays Eddie Kaspbrak who is ironically a NYC based risk assessor, Andy Bean plays Stanley Uris who has become a wealthy partner of an accounting business, and Isaiah Mustafa plays Mike Hanlon who is the only one to have stayed in Derry, working as a local librarian. Clearly, most of them have moved far away from...

Together with the $91 million North American results, the worldwide opening weekend amounts to $185 million. In addition, the film scared up $9 million on the global IMAX network.”

Evil resurfaces in Derry as director Andy Muschietti reunites the Losers Club—young and adult—in a return to where it all began with “It Chapter Two.”

The film is Muschietti’s follow-up...

This carnivalesque sequel throws in shocks aplenty and homages to horror classics, but it lacks depth and precision

In the wake of the record-breaking success of 2017’s It, this follow-up brings the Stephen King story to an end, not with a whimper but with several spectacular bangs. More epic in both scope and length than its predecessor (the running time outstrips even Tarantino’s ultra-indulgent Once Upon a Time in Hollywood), Andy Muschietti’s good-looking sequel has visual style to spare as it pits its now-adult antiheroes against an ever-expanding creepshow of shrieking scary monsters and crawly super creeps. From giant, drooling clowns to grotesque insect apparitions and spiderlike shape-shifters, It Chapter Two doesn’t skimp on the funhouse theatrics, even riffing on a quotable moment from John Carpenter’s The Thing, which remains a monstrous benchmark for mind-bending 80s horror. Yet in stretching its canvas so far, the film...

Warning: Major spoilers ahead for It Chapter Two!

It Chapter Two, the highly anticipated sequel to 2017's remake of It, is here and ready to scare our clown noses right off. Directed by Andy Muschietti, the sequel leaps 27 years after the first movie ends and finds the Losers all grown up and living their own lives until they're drawn back to Derry to defeat Pennywise the Dancing Clown (Bill Skarsgard) once and for all. All grown up, Bill (James McAvoy), Beverly (Jessica Chastain), Eddie (James Ransone), Stanley (Andy Bean), Richie (Bill Hader), Ben (Jay Ryan), and Mike (Isaiah Mustafa) have been away from the town for so long that most barely remember their childhoods . . . except for Mike and Stanley, who becomes so frightened by the prospect of facing Pennywise that he commits suicide.

While diehard fans of the novel and the previous adaptations may find many similarities and the movie...

It Chapter Two is the sequel to 2017’s horror thriller based on Stephen King’s iconic book. Andy Muschietti returns as director and is joined by the entire original cast including adult versions of their characters played by Jessica Chastain, James McAvoy, Bill Hader, Isaiah Mustafa, Jay Ryan, James Ransone, and Andy Bean. The film takes place 27 years after the events of the first, as the evil entity Pennywise reawakens and terrorizes their hometown of Derry once again. But does this movie improve on its predecessor and deliver big on the thrills or should keep on floating by this one?

Watch the 60-second review from One Minute Critic:

You can check out more 1-minute reviews on One Minute Critic's Instagram or Youtube page.

Giving the sagging box office a jolt, “It: Chapter Two” is heading for as much as $100 million in its opening weekend in North America, early estimates showed Friday.

Warner Bros. is adhering to its $90 million forecast for the horror sequel but rival studios projected a nine-figure launch frame. The figure is $23 million less than the 2017 debut of “It,” but it’s also the best opening since “The Lion King” premiered with $191.8 million during its July 19-21 opening frame.

Should it top $100 million, “It: Chapter Two” will the first non-Disney title to open above that mark this year and fifth following “Avengers: Endgame,” “The Lion King,” “Toy Story 4” and “Captain Marvel.”

The sequel is debuting at 4,570 domestic locations in the widest launch ever for an R-rated film. “It: Chapter 2” will easily surpass the opening for last year’s “Halloween,” which scored $76 million for the second-biggest horror movie launch of all time.

I’m sure you’ve noticed that the reviews for director Andy Muschietti’s It: Chapter 2 have been mixed. Some people are loving it while others are like, “What the hell was that!?” I personally loved the sequel! I thought it was a great and terrifying conclusion for the adaption of Stephen King’s classic story.

As I’ve talked to people about the film and I’ve been reading people’s reactions, I’ve noticed that most people who liked the movie read the book while the people who didn’t read the book didn’t seem to care for the film. This makes sense because the film introduces some some interesting and weird elements like the Ritual of Chud, which is what the Losers’ Club needs to perform in an effort to help destroy Pennywise The Clown. I won’t get into what that means, or how it plays out,...

When I was about 10 I had a friend whose parents really didn’t seem too bothered what he got up to. I remember thinking at the time how incredibly lucky he was (the thick dust that coated everything and gave me allergies didn’t set any alarm bells ringing… his parents swore! How cool!). This meant when I went for a sleep over we could watch whatever, totally inappropriate horror films we liked. We would scare ourselves witless with Freddy Krueger, the Thing and It.

As a child I was traumatised by Stephen King’s It… I don’t remember exactly how young I was when I saw the made for TV movies, but I was too young. Over a summer holiday in Switzerland I...

Warner Bros.’ “It: Chapter Two” has launched solidly in international markets with $16.5 million, finishing in first place in 48 markets.

The horror sequel opens in an additional 27 markets on Friday, including the U.K., Mexico and Spain. France opens the following week on Sept. 11 and Japan on Nov. 1.

“It: Chapter Two” notched the biggest opening day for a horror movie and biggest Warner Bros. opening day of 2019 in Russia with $2.1 million from 3,215 screens and a 91% share of the top five films. “It 2” also scored the biggest opening day for a horror movie in Italy with $1.6 million at 840 venues for a 65% share of the top five titles. Germany generated $1.4 million, including previews, at 681 screens for a 64% share.

“It: Chapter Two” nabbed a powerful 75% share of the top five films in Australia with $625,000 at 501 screens. In Brazil, the sequel launched with $555,000 at 2,022 screens, and the country joined Russia with “It 2” as the biggest Warner Bros.

“It: Chapter Two” has launched impressively with $10.5 million domestically in Thursday night preview showings.

The figure is $3 million less than the $13.5 million preview gross from “It” two years ago, when the horror adaptation stunned the industry with a $123 million opening weekend.

Warner Bros.’ much-anticipated sequel is kicking off the fall movie season amid sky-high expectations, and could debut with $85 million to $90 million from 4,570 domestic locations. That number is short of its predecessor’s bullish start, but the R-rated film will likely surpass the opening for last year’s “Halloween,” which scored $76 million for the second-biggest horror movie launch of all time.

Rival studios have backed away from taking on “It: Chapter Two,” leaving it as the lone nationwide release this weekend in what’s the widest domestic opening ever for an R-rated title. Based on the second half of Stephen King’s 1986 novel, “It: Chapter Two” picks up 27 years after...

I think almost everybody has read Stephen King’s books. There's a reason his name resonates so powerfully. Were any of you super big Stephen King fans when you were younger?

Jessica Chastain: I was. I think Pet Sematary was one of the first books that I read that wasn't assigned to me. And then I went from there to The Shining to Misery.

Because every 27 years evil revisits the town of Derry, Maine, “It Chapter Two” brings the characters...
