Major Theatrical Releases September 2019
Here are the major theatrical releases for September 2019.
**THERE WILL BE NO SPOILERS**
**DATES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE**
It Chapter 2
September 6
"It" became a critical and box office success, ranking up over $325 million dollars in America alone, and since it was only half of Stephen King's iconic novel, it was only a matter of time before we got the sequel - and end - if it. Set both twenty-seven years later and also reminiscent of the past, this film reunites the children who starred in the first "It" with their adult counterparts who return to Derry after hearing Pennywise has returned, and sets out to finish him for good. This looks to be a horror-filled nightmare with tremendous performances and ultimately a bloody good time in the theater, and it'll be interesting to see how it all ends.
The Goldfinch
September 13
Based on the beloved novel by Donna Tartt, "The Goldfinch" tells the story of Theo, who looses his mother after a bombing at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. As the years go by, Theo struggles with grief, guilt, love and redemption, all the while holding onto the one thing that gives him hope - a painting of a Goldfinch bird. Sure to bring tears to your eyes, the film features a stellar cast including Ansel Elgort, Nicole Kidman, Sarah Paulson, Luke Wilson and Jeffrey Wright.
Hustlers
September 13
"Hustlers" is based off the true story of a group of strippers who hustle wealthy men during the financial crisis of the late 2000s, and how they almost got away with it all. Featuring a strong cast including Constance Wu, Jennifer Lopez, Julia Stiles, Keke Palmer, Lili Reinhart and Cardi B, this looks to be a great underdog film where the wealthy get what they deserve.
Ad Astra
September 20
Brad Pitt joins the likes of Matt Damon, Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, George Clooney, Ryan Gosling and Sandra Bullock and takes off into space in "Ad Astra," where he plays an astronaut who's sent into the outer edges of the solar system in search of his father and unravel a mystery that threatens mankind itself. Much like films "Interstellar," "Gravity," and "The Martian," this looks to be a great outer space drama filled with tense moments and strong performances by Pitt, Tommy Lee Jones, Ruth Negga, Liv Tyler and Donald Sutherland.
Downton Abbey
September 20
Based off the famed television series, "Downton Abbey" centers around the owners, caretakers, and workers of the famed abbey as they eagerly anticipate the arrival of the King and Queen in 1927. I've never seen the television series, so I'll be going into the film totally blind, but any film featuring Maggie Smith playing a snarky woman you can count me in.
Rambo: Last Blood
September 20
Sylvester Stallone birthed two iconic film characters that've spanned generations - spunky underdog boxer Rocky Balboa and mercenary John Rambo, and here it looks like he's retiring Rambo for good in "Last Blood." Rambo is enlisted by a friend to go to Mexico to save his daughter who's been taken by a drug cartel, and Stallone looks to once again deliver an action-packed performance while also offering the hero a heroic sendoff. Surprisingly there's not a lot of buzz about this film and I almost forgot it's coming out so soon, so we'll see if it'll hold up to the others, but I'm excited to see how it'll all end.
Abominable
September 27
Lately there's been a resurgence of Yeti and Bigfoot popularity, especially with last year's "Smallfoot" which came out around the same time as "Abominable" will this year, and I really don't get the fervor. Here a young girl finds a Yeti on the roof of her home, and sets out to return it to Everest with her friends before it gets captured by Yeti hunters, and it looks to hit all the traditional marks of a feel-good animated film, but doesn't really seem to offer anything new to make it remotely memorable or even good.
Judy
September 27
Renee Zellweger returns to the big screen after her much-reported facial surgery in "Judy," where she plays the iconic singer Judy Garland. The film focuses on her 1969 five-week run of British sold-out concerts, but also delves on her childhood acting past and relationship with her children, and looks to be a great biopic about a fascinating, flawed, and deeply troubled actress and singer.
There are the major films coming out in September 2019.
Here is the order in which I'm most excited to see them, from least to most:
#8 - Abominable
#7 - Downton Abbey
#6 - Hustlers
#5 - Judy
#4 - The Goldfinch
#3 - Ad Astra
#2 - Rambo: Last Blood
#1 - It Chapter Two
