September arrives with one foot in the cinema foyer and the other by the sofa: a month for big-screen revisits, polished crime capers and a pair of streaming launches made for a properly planned evening in.
Release at a Glance
- Guide: Selected confirmed September releases
- Territories: United Kingdom and United States, with differences noted below
- Focus: Cinema events and major streaming arrivals
Viewer Match
- Best for: Viewers who want a practical shortlist rather than a sprawling release calendar.
- Maybe skip if: You only want one format; this month moves between a cinema event and streaming premieres.
- Expected mood and pace: Varied, cinematic and deliberately selective; easy to plan across the month.
- Cinema or streaming? Mix both: reserve the cinema outing for the communal event and save the series launches for a home-watch run.
- Spoiler level: Spoiler-free.
In Cinemas
Avengers Endgame: Encore
- Format: Theatrical re-release
- United States: In cinemas from 25 September
- United Kingdom: Listed for 25 September
- Studio: Marvel Studios
The Infinity Saga finale returns as a special theatrical engagement. It is the month’s clearest excuse to choose the biggest screen available and revisit an event film built for an audience reaction.
Streaming
Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu
- Platform: Disney+
- Release date: 2 September
- Availability: United States and United Kingdom
- Director: Jon Favreau

- Platform: Netflix
- Release date: 3 September
- Availability: United States and United Kingdom

- Starring: Matthew McConaughey, Woody Harrelson and Holland Taylor
Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson fictionalise their friendship in a family-secret comedy that looks built for a more relaxed late-September watch.
More Cinema Releases to Put on the Calendar
The Death of Robin Hood
- UK release: In cinemas from 4 September
- Distributor: True Brit Entertainment
- Director: Michael Sarnoski
- Starring: Hugh Jackman, Jodie Comer and Bill Skarsgård
A large-scale September opener with a notably strong cast, this is the month’s first major new cinema option for viewers after a darker take on a familiar legend.
The Runner
- UK release: In cinemas from 11 September
- Distributor: Entertainment Film Distributors
- Director: Scott Waugh
- Starring: Alan Ritchson and Owen Wilson
The mid-month action option pairs Alan Ritchson with Owen Wilson under Scott Waugh’s direction, making it a useful counterpoint to the period and franchise titles around it.
Resident Evil
- UK release: In cinemas from 18 September
- Distributor: Sony Pictures

- Director: Zach Cregger
- Starring: Austin Abrams, Paul Walter Hauser and Zach Cherry
For a full-scale horror outing, Resident Evil arrives with an IMAX option in the UK and a new story rather than a retread of the earlier screen adaptations.
Heart of the Beast
- UK release: In cinemas from 23 September
- Distributor: Paramount Pictures
- Director: David Ayer
- Starring: Brad Pitt, J.K. Simmons and Anna Lambe
A wilderness-survival thriller with Brad Pitt at its centre, this is one of the month’s clearest original-studio releases for audiences wanting something less franchise-led.
Hope

- Distributor: NEON
- Director: Na Hong-jin
- Starring: Hwang Jung-min, Zo In-sung, Hoyeon, Taylor Russell, Alicia Vikander and Michael Fassbender

Chad Powers — Season 2
- Release date: 3 September
- United States: Hulu

MobLand — Season 2
- Release date: 18 September
- Platform: Paramount+
- Availability: Global
- Starring: Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren
The Harrigans return for a second season of shifting loyalties and family warfare. It is the month’s strongest choice for viewers who want crime drama with an unapologetically operatic scale.
Movieversalfilm’s September Pick
Make the cinema date for Avengers Endgame: Encore, then use The Gentlemen for the month’s returning-series binge and Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu for a proper home-event night.
