What’s New in Theaters (Sept 5–7)

The Conjuring: Last Rites

The final chapter in the Warren horror saga – Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson confront their most terrifying case yet. Early forecasts are BEAST-MODE: previews track $20M–$40M, and some optimistic models push as high as $50M–$60M, potentially setting franchise records.

Hamilton: An American Musical (Theatrical Re‑Release)

Yes, Hamilton is back on the big screen. Perfect for fans who missed the live capture – expect strong niche turnout and cultural hype.

Light of the World

PG animated, faith-based story of a young Apostle John following his surprisingly relatable Messiah. Limited release, family-friendly vibes.

The Threesome

Zoey Deutch leads this indie rom-com drama with a romantic twist. Or two, or three. Think poignant, messy, and a little earnest.

New This Weekend on Streaming (Movies Only)

No major new standalone films dropped to streaming this week on Disney+, Netflix, HBO Max, Hulu, Apple TV+, or Prime that match our criteria.

Weekend POURcast Picks & Themes

  • The Conjuring: Last Rites – Final scares, big bets: pour a blood-red Witching Hour Manhattan to pair with every jump scare.

  • Hamilton (the film) – Nostalgia on screen? Try a refined Old‑Fashioned – timeless, elevated, and deeply satisfying.

  • Light of the World – Soft, uplifting: enjoy a delicate Elderflower Spritz under dim lighting.

  • The Threesome – Hearts and tangled threads: a layered Rosé Sangria – sweet, sharp, and meant for sharing.
