The final four months of 2026 are packed with exciting and highly anticipated movies, even if few will come anywhere close to the billions billions Spider-Man and Odyssey have made. (Although one upcoming Marvel movie has a better shot than anything else.) Spooky season means new horror releases are imminent — don't forget about Buddy though! — and several high-profile book-to-screen adaptations are heading our way as well. And I hear there's some kind of a street fight happening.
Check out what you can find in theaters and releasing on streaming throughout the month of September and the remainder of 2026 through Christmas and pre-New Year's. (We're also looking ahead to all the big 2027 movie releases.)
August 2026 Movie Releases
One of September's potentially biggest releases (not noted below) is Avengers: Endgame Encore (serving as the first official Infinity Vision release), which has extra footage added in to lay better groundwork leading into Avengers: Doomsday. Beyond that, we have the long-awaited sequel to Practical Magic, the latest action extravaganza from Deadpool 2 and Fall Guy's David Leitch in How to Rob a Bank, and TWO different movies with "runner" as the title word. (The one without the article is Alan Ritchson's new movie.)

November 2026 Movie Releases
This November, YA fans can give thanks for the return of Panem with The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, and the Focker family's latest foibles, with Johnny Depp also returning to the big screen with horror director Ti West for a new take on Charles Dickens' Christmas Carol. We also have Sly and Rocky's returns (sorta) in the biopic I Play Rocky. Perhaps the biggest (literal) return comes from a certain fire-breathing monster, though...

The most wintery wonderland-y part of 2026 will indeed feature a visit from Santa Claus, or at least the version played by David Harbour. One of the most star-studded movies of any given year will also arrive on Christmas Day itself, with Anthony and Joe Russo's return to the MCU for Avengers: Doomsday. although some fans have taken to calling it Dunesday, given the shared release date with Denis Villeneuve's third sci-fi epic.
