September 2021 will see two movies that are simultaneously releasing on HBO Max and in theaters – Clint Eastwood's Cry Macho and James Wan's latest horror film Malignant. Cry Macho is based on a book by the same name and stars Eastwood as a "one-time rodeo star and washed-up horse breeder." Malignant, on the other hand, is a horror-thriller that follows a character named Madison who is "paralyzed by shocking visions of grisly murders."
Check out the trailer for Cry Macho in the video player below:
Alongside the return of Doom Patrol for its third season, September will also see the arrival of Oscar Isaac and Jessica Chastain's Scenes From a Marriage. This limited series is a modern adaptation of Ingmar Bergman's classic Swedish series of the same name.
A ton of movies are returning to HBO Max this month, including all the Harry Potter films, 2021's Mortal Kombat, and Angelina Jolie's Those Who Wish Me Dead. The latest Adventure Time: Distant Lands special – Wizard City – also makes its way to the streamer on September 2.
On the documentary front, Nuclear Family will be released on September 26 and follows filmmaker Ry Russo-Young as she "turns the camera on her own past to explore the meaning of family… when the concept of a gay family was inconceivable to most."
