Most Anticipated Movies of October 2025: A Data Analysis


The fall film slate is continuing its great momentum, with October 2025’s most anticipated new movies bringing some potential heavy-hitters to theaters and streaming. In partnership with predictive media data analytics company Diesel Labs, Screen Rant has exclusive data analyzing new movies with the most online attention prior to release. Each film is assigned a hype score, measured by engagement across various online platforms.

October 2025’s most-buzzed-about new titles are ranked by Attention Signals, which are calculated using measures such as likes, shares, comments, and views on social and video channels like Facebook and YouTube. These calculations provide valuable insight into which movies are making the biggest virtual impact on potential viewers before their debut – regardless of box office performance or reviews.

The attention scale metric is the percentage of attention based on the show or movie in the number one spot (which is represented as 100%).

Following September’s hits like The Conjuring: Last Rites, Demon Slayer, and One Battle After Another, October is gearing up for a potentially even larger showing. From long-awaited franchise sequels to some early-prediction 2026 Oscars contenders, this month is full of must-watch arrivals. Based on Diesel Labs’ data, here’s Screen Rant’s list of October 2025’s top new movies with the most online anticipation.
