The weather is getting just slightly chillier and the box office is getting a lot busier, because so many fall 2026 movies are shaping up to be blockbusters.
From late September through December, you’re looking at a slew of horror movies, quirky character studies, dark comedies, romantic dramas and, yes, “Dunesday“—this year’s portmanteau for the simultaneous release date of what are each shaping up to be two of the biggest movies of 2026 (besides mega-hits The Odyssey and Spider-Man: Brand New Day), Avengers: Doomsday and Dune: Part Three.
Below, a sneak peek at the movies coming out this fall that we’re most excited to see and their release dates—with just one note: Though autumn doesn’t technically start until Sept. 22, we’re counting movies released the weekend before (Sept. 18) in our list since, well, they’re close enough. Now, grab your popcorn and a pal and get ready to escape reality for a while. Goodness knows we can all use it right now!

Release Oct. 28, 2026
La Bola Negra
Guitarricadelafuente as Sebastián and Miguel Bernardeau as Rafael Rodríguez Rapún in “La Bola Negra”Netflix
Penélope Cruz is garnering Oscar buzz for her performance in La Bola Negra (The Black Ball). The drama, also starring Guitarricadelafuente, Miguel Bernardeau, Carlos González, Milo Quifes, Lola Dueñas and Glenn Close, follows the loves and losses for three gay men in Spain across eras from the 1930s to today. The film was partially inspired by a story from Federico García Lorca, who was murdered before completing the work.
Release Oct. 16, 2026
Once Upon a Time in Harlem
Aaron Douglas, Jean Blackwell Hutson, Nathan Huggins, Richard Bruce Nugent, Eubie Blake and Irwin C. Miller in “Once Upon a Time in Harlem”William Greaves Productions
David Greaves started filming Once Upon a Time in Harlem in 1972, but the film remained unfinished for five decades—until his son William took the reins and finished the project.
The documentary focuses on surviving contributors to the Harlem Renaissance, including visual artists (photographer James Van Der Zee and painter Aaron Douglas), poets (Arna Bontemps and Countee Cullen‘s widow Ida Mae Cullen), writers (like Richard Bruce Nugent) and musicians (Eubie Blake and Noble Sissle).
Release Oct. 16, 2026
The Only Living Pickpocket in New York
John Turturro as Harry in “The Only Living Pickpocket in New York”Sony Pictures Classics
John Turturro never disappoints, and as an aging criminal racing against time (and the mob and a detective, played by the ever-flawless Giancarlo Esposito), The Only Living Pickpocket in New York will get adrenaline pumping from the trailer alone.
Release Oct. 16, 2026
Sacrifice
Chris Evans as Mike Tyler in “Sacrifice”Netflix
Anya Taylor-Joy plays Joan, a religious terrorist who believes that kidnapping fading movie star Mike Tyler (Chris Evans) is the only way to save the world from Armageddon. With a stacked cast that includes Charli XCX as Mother Nature and the criminally underrated Sam Richardson as Tyler’s agent, this looks absolutely insane in the best possible way.

Sense and Sensibility

Daisy Edgar-Jones top-lines Sense and Sensibility as Elinor, with Esmé Creed-Miles as Marianne and—get ready to feel absolutely ancient or indignant—Outlander star Caitriona Balfe as their mother. Thankfully, it’s pretty impossible for Jane Austen adaptations to be bad because the source material is so good, so we can forgive that.

Street Fighter
Cody Rhodes as Guile and Andrew Koji as Ryu in “Street Fighter”Paramount Pictures
Shoryuken!
Spring 2026 brought us Mortal Kombat II (an underrated great time), and fall 2026 delivers Street Fighter, adapting the beloved fighting game for a new generation. While we’ll always miss Raul Julia‘s M. Bison from 1994, David Dastmalchian delivers a punch in his stead, and the rest of the casting is pretty on point: Jason Momoa as Blanka (seriously, the only other suitable option may have been Jason Mantzoukas), Andrew Koji as Ryu, Noah Centineo as Ken, Cody Rhodes as Guile, Callina Liang as the Strongest Woman in the World Chun-Li (my queen), 50 Cent as a truly uncanny Balrog and more.
Will the 2026 Street Fighter movie be good for cinephiles? Honestly, who cares? We’re here for hadoukens and classic Capcom camp, and if the trailer alone is any indication, this film is serving.

Whalefall
Austin Abrams in “Whalefall”20th Century Studios
You know how in the Bible Jonah gets swallowed by a whale? Or how Pinocchio gets swallowed by a whale in the classic fairy tale? Whalefall asks: What would it be like if that really happened? The answer is “truly gross and genuinely terrifying.”
Release Oct. 16, 2026
Clayface
Tom Rhys Harries as Matt Hagen in “Clayface”Warner Bros.
Fans of DC Comics and the classic Batman: The Animated Series are waiting with bated breath for Clayface, and with good reason: James Watkins directs the heartwrenching origin story of one of the caped crusader’s most sympathetic baddies. This is as much a horror movie as it is a comic book movie, and a tragedy above all else.

Wicker
Alexander Skarsgård and Olivia Colman in “Wicker”Black Bear Pictures
Remember how The Shape of Water paired an amazing actress (Sally Hawkins) with, basically, the Creature from the Black Lagoon? Wicker saw Guillermo Del Toro‘s creepy love story and said, “Hold my beer.”
The film sees a lonely Olivia Colman beg a basket weaver (Peter Dinklage) to make her a man, and he makes her a sentient Alexander Skarsgård basket-man. There’s a lot to unpack here, some of which may be best done with your diary or your therapist, but you best believe we’ll be watching anyway.
Release Oct. 23, 2026
Klara and the Sun
Amy Adams as Chrissie and Jenna Ortega as Klara in “Klara and the Sun”Columbia Pictures

Sam Rockwell as Lee and John Malkovich as Chris in “Wild Horse Nine”Searchlight Pictures
Honestly, they had us at Sam Rockwell.

Paper Tiger
Miles Teller as Irwin Pearl, Adam Driver as Gary Pearl, Roman Engel as Benjamin Pearl, Gavin Goudey as Scott Pearl and Scarlett Johansson as Linda Pearl in “Paper Tiger”Neon
Miles Teller and Adam Driver play brothers embroiled in a scheme with Russian mob in Paper Tiger. The James Gray crime thriller reunites Driver with his Marriage Story co-star Scarlett Johansson and brings even more drama—and much higher (read: potentially deadlier) stakes.
Release Nov. 13, 2026
Madden
Nicolas Cage as John Madden in “Madden”Amazon Prime Video
The inimitable, always earnest and ever delightfully weird Nicolas Cage stars as titular NFL icon John Madden in this biopic from David O. Russell. Madden also stars Kathryn Hahn, O. Russell regular Christian Bale, comedians John Mulaney and Shane Gillis and more, most of whom are in bizarrely cheap-looking wigs.
Release Nov. 18, 2026
Elsinore
Andrew Scott as Ian Charleson in “Elsinore”Focus Features
Fellow Shakespeare nerds, rejoice! Elsinore follows Scottish actor Ian Charleson (Andrew Scott) and his final performances in Hamlet near the end of his life. It’s as much of a tearjerker as the play (albeit with less actual sword fighting and murder, natch).
Release Nov. 20, 2026

Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson will each reprise their roles of Katniss and Peeta Mellark, making this installment a must-see for fans. (Also a reason for anyone to watch? Elle Fanning chewing the scenery as a young Effie Trinket is absolutely chef’s kiss.)
Release Nov. 20, 2026
Josephine
Channing Tatum as Damien and Mason Reeves as Josephine in “Josephine”Sumerian Pictures

14th
Ava DuVernay and Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden in “14th”Netflix
Ava DuVernay follows 13th with 14th, a deep look into birthright citizenship and the impacts of President Donald Trump‘s administration’s challenges to that constitutional right.
“If 13th asked who gets caged, then 14th asks who gets counted,” DuVernay said in a statement. “This is not a film about the past tense of freedom. I’m not interested in asking you to look back. The film asks what kind of country is being written beneath our feet now … while we’re busy believing the stories we’ve all been told.”

Another Robert Eggers low-color Gothic horror film released on Christmas, Werwulf, like Nosferatu before it, stars Lily Rose Depp, Willem Dafoe and Aaron Taylor-Johnson. The difference?
