But the new schedule of releases shows we have much to look forward to, with films including Cruella, Deep Water and West Side Story to binge on next year.
Some of these films - like Black Widow and Jungle Cruise - were originally supposed to hit screens this year, but had to delay because of the Covid-19 pandemic halting filming.
But all this means is we have an extra juicy batch of movies to watch in 2021. Every cloud!
The dates listed below are the scheduled US release dates, with several films expecting to be released to UK audiences on the same day. However, the unpredictability of this year shows that literally anything can happen in the world of cinema, so if these dates change for British audiences, we'll be the first to keep you posted.

Horror movie Antlers - starring Keri Russell and Jesse Plemons - is also landing on February 19th here in Blighty, centring around a teacher and her brother, who uncover a "dangerous secret" about a student and then get caught in a web of danger.
