OK, not all the movies. Some of them, like "Dune: Part Two," have been postponed until next year due to the ongoing actors and writers strikes. But most of the film calendar has stayed intact - for now.
Just like summer, there are plenty of sequels and prequels on the way. A second "Nun," a third "My Big Fat Greek Wedding," a fourth "Expendables" and a 10th "Saw." But many of the most anticipated titles are awards contenders, historical epics and festival hits.
Here's a look at some of the highlights of the next three months.
MOVIES RELEASING IN SEPTEMBER
"Cassandro" (in theaters Sept. 15, streams on Prime Video Sept. 22) Gael García Bernal gives one of his best performances in Roger Ross Williams' biopic about lucha libre wrestler Saúl Armendáriz. Williams, the veteran documentary filmmaker, makes his narrative debut with this drama about the openly gay wrestler who became a fan favorite in a traditionally homophobic sport. Bad Bunny co-stars.
"Dumb Money" (in theaters Sept. 22, wide Oct. 6)
The GameStop stock trading frenzy gets a rousing and comic big-screen telling in Craig Gillespie's "Dumb Money!" Paul Dano stars as Keith Gill, the small-time investor who helped rally a historic short squeeze on hedge funds who had bet that GameStop's future was dismal. Gillespie's film features a freewheeling ensemble including Pete Davidson, Anthony Ramos, Seth Rogen, Shailene Woodley, America Ferrera and Nick Offerman.
"Fair Play" (in theaters Sept. 29, on Netflix Oct. 13)
