Every Movie Releasing In Theaters In September 2023 (2024)

September 2023 will see a variety of movies coming to theaters, including some horror movies to kick off the spookiest season of the year, such as two horror stories from major franchises, the third entry in an action film series, the return of the Portokalos family, a new Hercule Poirot adventure, the latest mission from the Expendables team, and more. August 2023 welcomed some exciting stories, as were Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, the sci-fi action horror movie Meg 2: The Trench, the supernatural horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter, the biographical sports movie Gran Turismo, and DC’s Blue Beetle.

As August was mostly about big releases, none of them are available to stream yet, but the movies hitting theaters in September are exciting enough to fill in that void. September will see a bunch of sequels from some popular franchises, along with new stories from a variety of genres. That said, September will welcome new stories from the horror franchises of The Conjuring and Saw, the return of Robert McCall, Toula and her family, Hercule Poirot, and the Expendables team, along with Gareth Edwards’ latest project, among other stories. Here’s every movie coming to theaters in September 2023.
