september has always been a relatively slow season in terms of market performance. having just experienced the excitement of the summer season, the market also needs to build up momentum for the upcoming national day season.
there are not many new films worth paying attention to in theaters this september, but the themes are still wide-ranging and the genres are also rich. history, suspense, drama, comedy, science fiction and other fields can satisfy the audience's viewing needs.
you can go up to space and down to the deep sea with documentaries to salvage the unknown historical truth behind "the sinking of the lisbon maru", and explore the mysteries of china's science fiction milestone journey with "the wandering earth 2: adventure again"; you can also follow xiao yang and song jia in "wish you happiness" to feel the struggle and pull of the divorce cooling-off period, and then follow aunt su in "determination to leave" to embark on a new journey to regain the meaning of life; you can see in "big scene" what kind of innovation and surprise the new generation of "pleasing" screen practice can bring to comedy movies, and you can also look forward to what kind of "weird things" veteran comedians such as qiao shan and ma li will come up with; "wild robots" and "transformers" landed in theaters one after another, and human imagination of machines was opened up in different styles, which are all wonders and adventures on the screen; by the end of the month, "crisis route" and "safe entry and exit" will be the first to debut as the national day file, and they are already setting an example for more upcoming blockbusters...
although there are quite a few new films released, most of them are released on september 15, the mid-autumn festival holiday, as if the movies also want to "reunite" together, making the distribution of new films in september somewhat unbalanced. the cinema schedule during the holiday is particularly busy, which also brings a wealth of choices to the audience, but the overcrowded schedule also inevitably makes some films unable to get enough attention. under the current conditions where the market pie is not big enough, many films may face the risk of being drowned in the many choices.
so, here is a list of movies to help you do your homework, and i hope you don’t miss out on the good movies.

highlights: the line in "see you tomorrow" "when a ship sinks to the bottom of the sea, when a person becomes a mystery" made producer fang li really spend 8 years and empty his pockets just to truly restore a little-known part of world war ii history. a well-received documentary at the shanghai film festival, i hope the movie will awaken the silence of history.
