Your guide to fall movies 2023: The Hunger Games, The Killer vs. Killers, a Disney Wish, and more

A handy calendar for the biggest titles this fall season — and where to watch.

Our favorite season? Awards season.

Fall is upon us, which always means it's an interesting time for movies. Buzzy titles from the film festival circuit are emerging as early Oscar contenders, while audiences shriek at Halloween's annual deluge of jump scares when not indulging in the summer's final splash of popcorn flicks.

The three "killers" of the 2023 fall season sum it up: there's the David Fincher-directed, Michael Fassbender-led assassin film The Killer; Martin Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon, with its prestige cast and a runtime as long as an East Coast Amtrak train ride; and Totally Killer, which finds a time-displaced Kiernan Shipka being chased across the decades by an infamous murderer.

Here's your handy guide for when and where to watch the fall movies of 2023, from the next Hunger Games to Todd Haynes' latest drama to the next superhero extravaganza — complete with exclusive new looks.
