Summer may be coming to an end, but there's no need to get downhearted as there are some cracking movies showing at Cineworld cinemas in September. It's 40 years since Steven Spielberg's classic family adventure E.T. The Extra Terrestrial was released, and to celebrate this anniversary, the movie is being shown on Cineworld's massive IMAX screens (from September 2nd), giving you the chance to laugh, cry and whoop all over again.
Idris Elba follows up his star turn in Beast (currently showing at Cineworld) with another major role, this time as a storytelling Djinn in George Miller's Three Thousand Years of Longing (from September 2nd). Tom George's star-studded whodunnit See How They Run will have you guessing when it arrives on September 9th. And starting on the same day are Halina Reijn's critically acclaimed horror Bodies Bodies Bodies, and, for kids, the swashbuckling sequel-of-a-sequel Tad the Lost Explorer and the Curse of the Mummy.
George Clooney reunites with Julia Roberts for romantic-comedy Ticket to Paradise (from September 16th). And the ubiquitous Harry Styles gets another chance to show off his acting chops, this time opposite Florence Pugh in Olivia Wilde's long-awaited suspense thriller Don't Worry Darling (from September 23rd).
All in all, it promises to be an exciting month at Cineworld!
