September new movies release dates: Here's full list

The Conjuring: Last Rites returns to theaters on September 5, 2025, delivering one final spine‑chilling installment starring Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson as Ed and Lorraine Warren, tackling the harrowing Smurl haunting with signature fervor. Just a week later, on September 12, multiple high-profile films hit screens—Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale closes the beloved saga of the Crawley family, while The Long Walk, adapted from Stephen King’s chilling novel, delivers a stark survival thriller. Also on the 12th, expect Demon Slayer – Kimetsu no Yaiba: Infinity Castle, a stunning anime feature, and Spinal Tap II: The End Continues, a mockumentary revival featuring the original cast reunited for one final rock tour.

As September progresses, the cinematic feast continues. On September 19, audiences can look forward to the animated horror‑sports hybrid Him, brought to life by Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions, alongside the visual romance A Big, Bold, Beautiful Journey starring Margot Robbie and Colin Farrell, and the political-comedy Ella McCay, set in Rhode Island and directed by James L. Brooks. The final week of September features sweeping cinematic variety on the 26th: Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another, an IMAX war thriller with Leonardo DiCaprio; the next chilling chapter The Strangers: Chapter 2; imaginative family fun with Gabby’s Dollhouse: The Movie; and the romantic drama BFFs.
