Get ready; in 2023, we’re getting a lot of rebooted movies.
Disney is rebooting several new films, including Haunted Mansion, Peter Pan, and The Little Mermaid.
Elsewhere, the Exorcist, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Dungeons & Dragons are getting franchise reboots.
But to start the year, the 1990s classic House Party is being rebooted, and it’s set in Lebron James’s house.
In February, Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey is hitting theaters, but it isn’t a Disney reboot. Because of that, I’m excluding it from this list of 2023 movie reboots. Still, it definitely looks trippy. However, if you were hoping for a horror movie reboot, The Exorcist is coming back.
Anyways, what reboot(s) do you plan on watching in 2023? And, well, which do you think should be left in the past?
