Frankenstein (2025)

Guillermo del Toro's long-gestating passion project finally arrives, grossing $150 million globally in its opening weekend. Oscar Isaac delivers a career-best performance as the mad scientist, while Jacob Elordi's creation is 40% more emotionally complex than the runner-up's antagonist. This visually stunning adaptation of Mary Shelley's Gothic novel is cheaper than the typical blockbuster production, made for just $80 million.
