Our first edition brings together an Owens family reunion, a biblical epic returning to the big screen and Andrew Garfield leading a rebellion. Watch Nestor’s reel, explore the releases below and tell us which one belongs at the top of your watchlist.
Practical Magic 2: Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock Reunite
In North American theaters September 10, 2026.
The Owens sisters are back, and the family curse has unfinished business. Practical Magic 2 reunites Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman for a story about ancestral magic, family bonds and a threat that forces the sisters to confront the darkness surrounding their lineage.
Directed by Susanne Bier and based on Alice Hoffman’s The Book of Magic, the sequel also features Joey King, Maisie Williams, Lee Pace and Xolo Maridueña, with Dianne Wiest and Stockard Channing returning. For anyone whose ideal fall movie night includes witches and complicated family ties, this is the reunion to circle on the calendar. Official film details and tickets.
The Passion of the Christ: A Limited Return in 4K
In theaters September 10–17, 2026.
Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ returns to theaters in a newly remastered 4K presentation. First released in 2004, the film stars Jim Caviezel as Jesus of Nazareth and depicts the final hours leading to the crucifixion, followed by the resurrection.
This engagement revisits the original film and includes a behind-the-scenes sneak peek at The Resurrection of the Christ: Part One. For viewers interested in experiencing the film’s treatment of faith, sacrifice and redemption on a cinema screen, the limited September run is the date to note. The film is rated R; check your local theater for participating screenings. Fathom’s event details and tickets.
The Uprising: Andrew Garfield Leads a Fight for Justice
In theaters September 10, 2026, according to Focus Features’ current listing.
Andrew Garfield trades the modern world for a rebellion against King Richard II in The Uprising. Written and directed by Paul Greengrass, the drama follows a leader who rallies ordinary people into an army to challenge the Crown’s power.
Focus Features connects the story’s historical uprising to the inspiration behind the Robin Hood legend. The ensemble includes Jamie Bell, Cosmo Jarvis, Thomasin McKenzie and Katherine Waterston. If your movie-night mood runs toward historical conflict, resistance and the stakes of standing up to authority, this is the week’s change of pace. Official Focus Features details and tickets.
