September 2026 Is Stacked: Resident Evil Reboot, Practical Magic 2, By Any Means & 6 More Movies You Can't Miss

September 2026 Is Stacked: The Biggest Hollywood Theatrical Releases to Put on Your Radar

Okay, but who approved this lineup? September 2026 is shaping up to be one of the most packed months at the cinema this year — we're talking a Resident Evil reboot, the Practical Magic sequel 25 years in the making, Mark Wahlberg going full mobster, and Andrew Garfield basically living in theaters. If you only go to the movies once a month, you might want to upgrade to a season pass. Here's everything dropping in theaters this September.

The First Wave: September 4

The month opens with a triple threat. First up is Onslaught, an action-thriller starring Adria Arjona, Rebecca Hall, and Dan Stevens. Arjona plays a former Army sniper turned mom whose daughter gets kidnapped — and yeah, her response is exactly as gloriously unhinged as it sounds. Then there's By Any Means, based on the true story of a 1960s New York mafia war against the FBI, with Mark Wahlberg and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II playing two agents who'll do absolutely anything to crack the case.

If you'd rather keep it wholesome, The Magic Faraway Tree is the family pick — Andrew Garfield and Claire Foy play parents who move to the countryside and discover, uh, a giant magical tree. Nicola Coughlan of Bridgerton fame joins the adventure, so expect maximum whimsy.

Mid-Month Mayhem and the September 18 Blowout

September 11 brings Fall 2: Deadpoint, the terrifying sequel to the 2022 survival hit, with Harriet Slater and Grace Caroline Currey tackling a broken plank walk on Mount Kwan in Thailand. Same day, The Uprising drops — a 1380s medieval rebellion drama starring Garfield again (yes, really) alongside Jamie Bell and Tom Holland–wait, no, Tom Hollander.

Then September 18 arrives like a freight train:

• Resident Evil — the reboot starring Austin Abrams as a hapless medical courier who takes one (1) delivery job to Raccoon City. Paul Walter Hauser co-stars. Chaos ensues.
• Practical Magic 2 — Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman reunite as the Owens sisters, with Joey King, Lee Pace, and Maisie Williams joining the witchy fun. 25 years late, absolutely worth it.
• The Weight — Ethan Hawke and Russell Crowe star in a gritty WWI-era drama about a desperate father cutting a deal with a warden to smuggle gold out of a mine.
• Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom — the stop-motion legend returns, because even the sheep deserve a sequel in 2026.

The Bottom Line

Honestly? There's no weak week in September 2026. Whether you're here for Resident Evil's zombie chaos, Practical Magic 2's nostalgic witchery, or Wahlberg going full Departed in By Any Means, the theaters are about to be very, very busy. Mark those dates, grab your popcorn, and let's make September the month we actually leave the house.
