As September arrives, you can count on three things: the leaves will begin to turn, the weather will start to cool, and the blockbusters that dominated movie theaters throughout June, July and August will give way to the eclectic slate of fall films, which range this month from the pre-Halloween horror releases to the first dramas out of festival season. The month won't be without blockbusters entirely, however, with the re-release of the highest-grossing movie of all time: Avatar.

Scroll on for more on all the movies hitting theaters and streaming platforms this September.
