Morgan (Sept. 2)
Anya Taylor-Joy, who came to our attention with ‘The Witch’ last year, stars in this eerie-looking sci-fi thriller as the title character, an artificial being created by a corporation.

-
The Light Between Oceans (Sept. 2)
Real-life romantic pair Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander, previously seen together in last year’s ‘Macbeth,’ reunite for this period drama in which they play a couple who find a baby and raise it as their own.

-
Yoga Hosers (Sept. 2)
Kevin Smith returns with the second installment of his Canada-set True North trilogy for a crazy story about two teens (Smith’s own daughter, Harley Quinn Smith, and Johnny Depp’s daughter, Lily-Rose Depp) fighting, uh, miniature Nazi sausage people (?!) in a convenience store.

-
Sully (Sept. 9)
In 2009, Captain Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger made an unforgettable emergency landing of US Airways flight 1549 in the Hudson River following his takeoff from New York’s LaGuardia airport. Now his unbelievable story is dramatized in a film from Clint Eastwood starring a mustachioed Tom Hanks in the heroic title role.
-
When the Bough Breaks (Sept. 9)
Surrogate parenthood goes terribly wrong in this psychological thriller starring Regina Hall and Morris Chestnut as a wealthy couple who take in the young woman (Jaz Sinclair) hired to carry their baby. Think ‘The Hand That Rocks the Cradle’ but during pregnancy.
-

-
Blair Witch (Sept. 16)
This out-of-nowhere sequel to the iconic 1999 horror film ‘The Blair Witch Project’ was kept a secret until recently, and then it immediately became one of the most anticipated fall releases.

-
Hillsong: Let Hope Rise (Sept. 16)

-
Storks (Sept. 23)
Featuring the voices of Andy Samberg, Jennifer Aniston and Kelsey Grammer, the second movie this year from ‘Neighbors 2’ director Nicholas Stoller is an animated feature inspired by the myth that storks deliver babies. Despite his usual output being raunchy comedies, Stoller also wrote ‘The Muppets’ -- so he can be trusted for family fare.
-
Queen of Katwe (Sept. 23)
When it comes to winning our moviegoing interests, casting ‘Selma’ star David Oyelowo and Oscar winner Lupita Nyong’o is a sure way to achieve checkmate. The movie depicts the true story of Ugandan chess prodigy Phiona Mutesi (Madina Nalwanga) in what looks to be an inspiring drama.
-
Deepwater Horizon (Sept. 30)
Mark Wahlberg reunites with ‘Lone Survivor’ director Peter Berg for a movie about the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil-rig disaster, in which the actor plays real-life hero Mike Williams.

-
Masterminds (Sept. 30)
The cast of this heist comedy, which is based on a true story, includes Zach Galifianakis, Owen Wilson, Jason Sudeikis and three of the new Ghostbusters: Kristen Wiig, Leslie Jones and Kate McKinnon. It would be a crime if a movie so jam-packed with hilarious actors is anything but perfect.
-
Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children (Sept. 30)
The pitch for this YA adaptation must have been “What if Tim Burton made an X-Men movie?” The ‘Edward Scissorhands’ director is at the helm here for a tale of youngsters gifted with special powers, including a newcomer played by Asa Butterfield (‘Hugo’), living under the protection of Eva Green.
-
The Birth of a Nation (October 7)
Director and star Nate Parker's dramatization of Nat Turner's 1831 slave revolt was a massive hit at the Sundance Film Festival, where it won the Audience Award and the Grand Jury Prize before it was purchased for a record-breaking price.

-
Friend Request (Oct.7)
‘Psycho’ kept you out of the shower. ‘Jaws’ kept you off the beach. And now, ‘Friend Request’ wants to keep you away from... Facebook?

-
The Girl on the Train (Oct. 7)
This adaptation of Paula Hawkins' best-selling novel sounds like the spiritual cousin to ‘Gone Girl.’ Emily Blunt plays a tragic mess who can barely keep her life together BEFORE she starts suspecting that the woman she spies on during her daily commute was murdered. Justin Theroux, Rebecca Ferguson, Luke Evans, Alison Janney and Edgar Ramirez round out a cast filled with potential suspects.
-
Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life (Oct. 7)

Hijinks, as they say, ensue.
-
The Accountant (Oct. 14)
Don't let the title fool you: ‘The Accountant’ may star Ben Affleck as an introverted economics genius, but he's the kind of introverted economics genius who does work for vicious criminal organizations and finds himself propelled into a dangerous conspiracy.

-
Jack Reacher: Never Go Back (Oct. 21)
Tom Cruise's retired military policeman turned wandering problem solver apparently doesn't listen to the titles of his own movies, because Jack Reacher is back in ‘Jack Reacher: Never Go Back.’ The case this time involves an old colleague (Cobie Smulders), an unsolved murder, and a conspiracy within the armed forces. And of course, Reacher must outthink his enemies before he goes in for the skull breaking.

‘Superbad’ director Greg Mottola is back with this comedy about an ordinary suburban couple (Zach Galifianakis and Isla Fisher) who discovers that their far-too-sexy new neighbors (Jon Hamm and Gal Gadot) are actually spies. Naturally, one thing leads to another and this unlikely quartet has to work together to save the world, of course.
-
Ouija: Origin of Evil (Oct. 21)
Outside of the title, ‘Ouija: Origin of Evil’ doesn't have a direct connection to 2014's ‘Ouija.’ It's actually a prequel set in 1967, following a family torn apart by evil spirits summoned by that pesky supernatural board game. More importantly, it's the latest film from the always promising Mike Flanagan, whose writing-directing credits include ‘Hush’ and ‘Oculus.’
-
Inferno (Oct. 28)
Tom Hanks' Robert Langdon is back for this third big-screen thriller following ‘The Da Vinci Code’ and ‘Angels & Demons.’ This time, a resourceful doctor played by Felicity Jones assists him as he races across Europe, battling his own amnesia while attempting to foil a doomsday plot.

Brad Pitt is back fighting Nazis in a World War II espionage drama from ‘Forrest Gump’ director Robert Zemeckis.

-
Rules Don't Apply (Nov. 23)
It’s been a long time since Warren Beatty appeared on the big screen and even longer since he made a movie, so this Old Hollywood-set comedy he directs, in which he portrays iconic businessman Howard Hughes, is a real treat. His comeback also stars the new Han Solo, Alden Ehrenreich.
-
Bad Santa 2 (Nov. 23)
