January usually doesn't have many of its own good movies. It's better as a time to catch up on December releases you missed, like "Hidden Figures" and "Silence."
This February, though, we can expect to see our first couple of blockbusters in theaters, with "The Lego Batman Movie" and "Fifty Shades Darker."
Here's what you can look forward to in February 2017:
1. "Rings"
Release date: February 3
What it's about: A scientist comes across the suspicious VHS from the original "Ring" film and a woman is subjected to a curse that will kill her in seven days.
Why you should see it: The first "Ring" movie is beloved by horror fans, while the 2005 sequel was panned. This update might just give the terrifying premise the jolt it needs. An unexpected cameo from a big actor offers a big surprise.
2. "The Space Between Us"
Release date: February 3
What it's about: The first human born on Mars travels to Earth and falls in love with a girl.
Why you should see it: It's rare you see a sci-fi romance movie, and this one looks like it'll put a sweet human story before any flashy spaceships.
3. "Fifty Shades Darker"
Release date: February 10
What it's about: Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele get together for real this time. A mysterious figure from Christian's past threatens to tear them apart.
Why you should see it: Because you're still not sure if "Fifty Shades of Grey" was actually any good, but you know you need to see the sequel anyway. Plus, it's Valentine's Day. Taylor Swift also made a new song for it.
