Here Is Every Movie Releasing in Theaters in September 2024 (2024)

Though the summer box office season is coming to a close, audiences are still looking forward to heading to the theater to watch some highly anticipated films. Cinema has been a significant form of entertainment for decades, constantly reinventing itself with films like Night of the Living Dead, which served as a seminal moment for the horror genre, Die Hard, an action film that is still being talked about after three decades, and The Lord of the Rings, which provided an experience of a lifetime in the early 2000s.

As films have become more reliant on CGI, we see various concepts in films that would've once been seen as impossible. Indeed, movies created with such care are best appreciated on the big screen. That said, 2024 has been enjoyable so far, with films like Deadpool & Wolverine, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, and Dune: Part Two being box office hits. Similarly, the following month will bring audiences several more highly anticipated theatrical releases. With that in mind, here's a list of every movie coming to theaters in September 2024.

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice

The Thicket

Watch It in Theaters on September 6

Western films, especially good ones, have become increasingly scarce in recent years. The Thicket, starring Peter Dinklage, Juliette Lewis, and Esme Creed-Miles, seeks to breach that certain barrier with an intriguing trailer that raises expectations. Based on a 2013 novel by Joe R. Lansdale, the film follows Reginald Jones, a ferocious bounty hunter who is recruited by a youngster looking for his sister and rallies against a merciless killer known as Cutthroat Bill. However, when the killer notices Jones' tracks, she leads his party into the hazardous "no-man's-land," where they have to fight tooth and nail to survive. The Thicket will be available in theaters on Sep. 6.

Speak No Evil

Watch It in Theaters on September 13

Speak No Evil is an upcoming psychological horror film co-written and directed by James Watkins, best known for his work on Black Mirror. The film is a remake of the 2022 Danish film of the same name, and it follows the Dalton family, who are invited to spend the weekend in the peaceful countryside.

However, they are instead met with strange occurrences connected to the house they are staying in, and it might be too late to leave. James McAvoy leads the film as the main protagonist, with Mackenzie Davis, Aisling Franciosi, Scoot McNairy, and Alix West Lefler rounding out the major cast.

The 4:30 Movie

Watch It in Theaters on September 13

The 4:30 Movie looks to be a classic teen comedy starring Siena Agudong and Austin Zajur. Almost acting as a love letter to cinephiles, the film follows three 16-year-old friends in the summer of 1986 who typically spend their weekends at the movie theater. When Zajur's character invites his dream girl, Melody (Agudong), to the 4:30 movie, she surprisingly says yes. He couldn't be more excited, but, of course, things don't go according to plan and, from the official synopsis, "All hilarity breaks loose, as a self-important theater manager (Ken Jeong) and teen rivalries interfere with his best-laid plans." From Kevin Smith (Clerks, Clerks II, Dogma, Chasing Amy), The 4:30 Movie will release in theaters on Sept. 13.

Transformers One

Watch It in Theaters on September 20

Transformers is one of the most genuinely entertaining action franchises of all time, thanks to Michael Bay's expertise in high-budget action backed with polished visual effects and cinematography. While the first five films have told a significant story, we have yet to discover how Optimus Prime and Megatron, who were once sworn brothers, have turned into enemies, changing the fate of Cybertron forever.

Transformers One, directed by Josh Cooley and featuring Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Keegan-Michael Key, Brian Tyree Henry, and many others as voice actors, will finally tell this story through animation. Transformers One is set to release theatrically on Sept. 20.

Never Let Go

Watch It in Theaters on September 20

Starring Halle Berry, the film follows a family of three: a mother and her two children who have been taught for years that they are haunted by an evil spirit. Having lived in the wilderness their whole life, the family never strays far from one another, but trouble ensues when one of the kids begins to wonder whether there really is an evil spirit lurking in the woods. Never Let Go will be released in theaters on Sept. 20.

Lee

Watch It in Theaters on September 27

There have been numerous films depicting the horrors of World War II, but Lee, the upcoming biographical picture, will illustrate the atrocities of this period through the lens of Lee Miller, portrayed by the ever-gorgeous Kate Winslet. During World War II, an American photographer, Lee Miller, becomes a war correspondent for Vogue magazine, hoping to bring about change in the world.
