Twenty-five movies based on books have already been released in the U.S. this year. Tackling everything from horror to fairy tales to history, these adaptations prove that filmmakers are enthralled by stories rooted in literature. Whether or not audiences are equally as captivated varies wildly, as billion dollar-grossing behemoths (Beauty and the Beast) are listed alongside box-office flops (Rock Dog…we hadn’t heard of it either.)

Check out the titles below to view every English-language movie released since January that was based on a book or a comic series.
