And so we’re back from Labor Day weekend, and we hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. But now, let’s see what’s coming our way with this week’s new releases.
September always feels like the perfect transitional month, as we slowly move out of the summer season and into the fall slate. Somewhere in that shift, you usually get a little bit of everything. There are bound to be a few leftovers hanging around, but expect a few surprises along the way, too.
This week brings a long-awaited sequel to give Spider-Man his biggest challenge yet, along with a handful of mid-budget flicks to choose from. On the TV side, there’s a scattering of new releases as well.
Overall, it’s not exactly a jam-packed week, but there are still plenty of new movies and shows to sort through and keep on our radar. So scroll down and see if anything catches your eye.
🎥 In Theaters This Week
⇩
🎥 Hope
(Wed, Sept 9th — wide release)
Big-city landmarks usually take the hit in alien-invasion movies, but this one sends the threat somewhere smaller: a quiet South Korean town with no idea what’s coming. Directed by The Wailing filmmaker Na Hong-jin, this Korean sci-fi action thriller follows a police chief (Hwang Jung-min) as strange local incidents point to something far more disturbing than a wild animal in the woods. Jo In-sung and Jung Ho-yeon, along with Michael Fassbender, Alicia Vikander, Cameron Britton, and Taylor Russell, also star. This is close encounters of the wrong kind.
🎥 The Uprising
(Thurs, Sept 10th — wide release)
Filmmaker Paul Greengrass trades modern thrillers for 14th-century England in this sweeping medieval epic about the 1381 Peasants’ Revolt. Andrew Garfield stars as Wat Tyler, an impoverished man pushed by crushing taxes and royal oppression into leading a rebellion against King Richard II (Woody Norman). With Jamie Bell, Stephen Dillane, Tom Hollander, Thomasin McKenzie, Jonny Lee Miller, Cosmo Jarvis, and Katherine Waterston also aboard, this looks like history told from the mud up, where the tired, the fed up, and the angry finally get heard.
🎥 The Passion of the Christ
(Thurs, Sept 10th — re-release; One-Week Fathom Screening Event)
More than 20 years after its theatrical release, Mel Gibson’s biblical epic returns to theaters in a newly remastered 4K presentation. Starring Jim Caviezel as Jesus, the film became a box-office phenomenon and one of the highest-grossing independently distributed films in U.S. history. The re-release will also include a first look at Gibson’s upcoming two-part sequel, The Resurrection of the Christ: Part One, due in 2027.
🎥 Practical Magic 2
(Fri, Sept 11th — wide release)
To break the family curse, the Owens sisters Sally and Gillian (Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman) return nearly three decades later to confront the dark magic that started it all. This time, Sally’s daughters Kylie (Joey King) and Antonia (Maisie Williams) uncover secrets that send the family from Massachusetts to the United Kingdom, where their magical bloodline began. Xolo Maridueña and Lee Pace also star, with Susanne Bier directing. Sure, love still has a price, but the Owens women may finally break the spell for good.
🎥 Runner
(Fri, Sept 11th — wide release)
One life-saving delivery, one ticking clock, and no room for delays. Alan Ritchson stars as a former soldier turned delivery driver tasked with transporting a donated liver to a sick girl before time runs out. When black-market hijackers target the package, the job becomes a full-throttle chase. Owen Wilson co-stars as an unlikely ally, with Scott Waugh directing the kind of action movie where traffic turns into a demolition derby.
🎥 The Fix
(Fri, Sept 11th — wide release)
Sometimes a macho action thriller is exactly what the doctor ordered: tactical vests, gritted teeth, bad decisions, and Liam Neeson growling through the chaos. In this military action thriller, Zachary Levi stars as the field leader of a war-scarred CIA team sent into Tehran for a rescue mission that quickly turns personal. Neeson plays the hardened veteran mentor, with Titus Welliver and Wes Chatham adding extra grit, because when a mission goes sideways, you want a few hard faces in the room.
🎥 Oasis: Don’t Look Back In Anger
(Fri, Sept 11th — IMAX release)
Some reunions come with guitars. Others come with decades of baggage. Oasis’ new music documentary follows Noel and Liam Gallagher as they reunite the band for the Live ’25 tour, moving from rehearsals and backstage moments to the roar of the stage. After years of feuds, breakups, and fan speculation, the question is simple: have the Gallagher brothers mellowed, or are they still ready to blow at any moment? Either way, that question deserves an IMAX documentary experience.
🎥 On a String
(Fri, Sept 11th — limited release)
A Juilliard-trained musician tries to survive New York City’s classical music scene, one odd job at a time. Isabel Hagen writes, directs, and stars as a freelancer bouncing between gigs while sharing an apartment with her oddball family. Dylan Baker, Eric Bogosian, Frederick Weller, and Jamie Lee round out the cast in this offbeat indie comedy about art, work, family, and the strange places a paycheck can send you.
🎥 Don’t Move
(Fri, Sept 11th — limited release)
Every step could be their last after a church retreat leads a group into the wrong stretch of the Ozark wilderness. Lyndsy Fonseca stars as Megan, who must keep the survivors together when a prehistoric arachnid hidden in a maze of webs starts hunting by vibration. At first, suspicion falls on the group troublemaker, but the real threat is much larger... and far less human. Stillness may be their only chance. That is, if they can stop moving long enough to survive.
🎥 If I Go Will They Miss Me
(Fri, Sept 11th — limited release; in LA)
In a child’s eyes, parents can feel larger than life, sometimes almost godlike. In this inner-city L.A. drama from writer-director Walter Thompson-Hernández, Danielle Brooks and J. Alphonse Nicholson play the parents of a twelve-year-old boy (Bodhi Dell) who idolizes his recently returned father. But life in Watts soon chips away at that myth. Based on the director’s short film, it explores childhood imagination, family struggles, and growing up when a child’s reality refuses to stay small.
🎥 The Condor Daughter (La Hija Cóndor)
(Fri, Sept 11th — limited release; in NY)
One of cinema’s great gifts is how it can carry us somewhere unfamiliar and make that world feel less foreign. This Bolivian drama travels high into the Andes to follow Clara, a teenage girl caught between ancestral customs and dreams beyond her mountain homeland. Written and directed by Álvaro Olmos Torrico and starring Marisol Vallejo Montaño, the film looks at a Quechua community where heritage, tradition, and ambition pull in different directions.

(Tues, Sept 8th — premiering on Netflix)
Before the mohawk, gold chains, and “I pity the fool,” there was Laurence Tureaud.

What begins as a weekend of trust exercises and corporate slogans quickly turns into a competition for survival.

🎦 In the Grey
(Sat, Sept 12th — streaming on STARZ)
Jake Gyllenhaal, Henry Cavill, and Eiza González team up for Guy Ritchie’s latest snarky action thriller, playing elite operatives sent to recover stolen billions from a ruthless dictator.
