The Summer Movie Season of 2026 is over. September usually starts rolling in the awards hopefuls, although this year the first month of Award Season looks a little light…with only two possible films that we will still be talking about in February. The biggest release of this month is a re-release, with Marvel sending their epic AVENGERS: ENDGAME back into theatres for another go. Sub-titled ENCORE, this new edition promises new footage that will lead us into AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY in December. Other re-releases this month include Pixar’s CARS (20 years). Here’s what else is coming to the big screen in September:
BY ANY MEANS – In this historical crime thriller, Mark Wahlberg plays a mafia hit man who teams up with the FBI to investigate the murders of civil rights leaders in 1966.
THE FIX – Liam Neeson starts in this action film where a group of former CIA operatives enter Tehran to pull off a score.
PRACTICAL MAGIC 2 – The sequel to the 1998 hit. Set 25 years after the events of the first film, the Owens family faces a new crisis when their history is uncovered. The cast includes Sandra Bullock, Nicole Kidman, Stockard Channing, Dianne West, Maisie Williams, Lee Pace, and Joey King.
THE UPRISING – Famed action director Paul Greengrass (THE BOURNE SUPREMECY, CAPTAIN PHILLIPS), helms this historical epic about the rebellion against Richard II of England. Andrew Garfield leads the way.
RESIDENT EVIL – The second reboot of the popular video game series. Zach Cregger, director of the acclaimed horror films BARBARIAN (2022), and WEAPONS (2025), directs.
HEART OF THE BEAST – Brad Pitt plays a Special Forces officer stranded in the wilderness after a plane crash with only his combat dog with him. David Ayer (FURY, TRAINING DAY), directs.
PRIMETIME – Robert Pattinson plays former NBC correspondent Chris Hansen in this thriller which follows the production of To Catch a Predator.
