Beetlejuice Beetlejuice — In Theaters September 6, 2024
Warner Bros. Entertainment

Who could forget her) daughter Astrid summons the ghost, the family gets very acquainted with the afterlife. This movie will make you squirm just enough to get you in the mood for Halloween.

The Front Room — In Theaters September 6, 2024
A24
A bride's relationship with her mother-in-law is always a hot topic, but nobody understands how monstrous a MIL can be like Belinda. Her mother-in-law decides to move in (right after Belinda learns she's pregnant, no less), and tries to get her claws on the new baby — literally.
The Front Room hits theaters September 6 and stars Brandy Norwood, Kathryn Hunter, and Andrew Burnap.
My Old Ass — In Theaters September 13, 2024
Prime Video
This coming-of-age comedy is actually fairly deceptive. I was crying by the end! (As was the audience at the Sundance Film Festival). Elliott goes on one last trip with her friends before leaving for college, and by "trip" I mean a literal hallucinogenic trip. While her friends have very different reactions, Elliott ends up coming face-to-face with her 39-year-old self, who's full of advice — and warnings.
My Old Ass in theaters September 13 and stars Maisy Stella, Aubrey Plaza, Kerrice Brooks, Maddie Ziegler, and Percy Hynes White.

Netflix
Hunger Games fans will love this YA adaptation, which follows Tally, who lives in a society where everyone gets perfecting surgery at the age of 16. But when her friend disappears, and she realizes becoming a "Pretty" isn't as beautiful as it sounds, Tally sets out to change her future — and the world.
Uglies hits Netflix September 13 and stars Joey King, Chase Stokes, Keith Powers, Brianne Tju, and Laverne Cox.

Universal Pictures

His Three Daughters — On Netflix September 20, 2024
Netflix
You might be most familiar with Elizabeth Olsen as Marvel's The Scarlet Witch, but I will be singing her praises until the end of time for her work on Sorry For Your Loss. She brings that same nuanced, emotional gravity to His Three Daughters, which follows three adult sisters who come together to care for their father on his death bed. This is an absolute must-watch.
His Three Daughters hits Netflix September 20 and stars Carrie Coon, Elizabeth Olsen, and Natasha Lyonne.
Killer Heat — On Prime Video September 26, 2024

Robot Roz finds herself alone when she's shipwrecked on a deserted island. She has to learn to adapt to this new environment, and after meeting some of the native animals, she takes an adorable orphaned gosling under her wing (see what I did there?). I was totally not prepared to hear the cinematic version of Billie Eilish's "Birds of a Feather" in the trailer and I got EMOTIONAL.
