Everything leaving Max (formerly HBO Max) in September 2023

All good things must come to an end: romances, seasons, Barbenheimer. That’s never been more true for streaming content libraries. Every month, as more movies and shows are added to each of the many streamers out there, it seems just as much content leaves as well.

HBO Max isn’t immune to this cruel cycle, and in September 2023, a fair amount of films are leaving the service for an undetermined amount of time. From several Mortal Kombat movies (just in time for the video game release of Mortal Kombat 1) to the excellent classic movies Terms of Endearment and Klute to the 1996 summer blockbuster Twister, there’s a lot of good stuff leaving, so check out the list below and try to watch some of these gems before they leave Max for good (or at least a long while).

What’s new on HBO and Max in November 2024
Promo art for Dune: Prophecy.

The selection of new movies coming to HBO and Max in November is so thin that you could be forgiven if you accidentally mistook it for the lineup heading to Disney+. Twenty-three films are going to Max on November 1, which is well below the number that usually heads to streamers each month. That total includes the perquisite Christmas movies, many of which are also streaming on Hulu this holiday season.

So for films, November's a wash for Max. Thankfully, HBO's original programming, including Dune: Prophecy, Like Water for Chocolate, and a few new documentaries, makes Max worthwhile. Sports lovers also have the option to stream some NHL and NBA games, as well as cycling and "endurance car racing."

2024’s most divisive thriller is finally streaming on Max. Here’s why you should watch it
A man is being tortured in Trap.

M. Night Shyamalan is one of the most divisive filmmakers of the past 30 years. After achieving breakout success in the late '90s and early 2000s with acclaimed thrillers like The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, and Signs, his reputation began to sour following the releases of largely critical failures like The Village, Lady in the Water, and The Happening. In recent years, Shyamalan has experienced a late-career resurgence writing and directing modestly budgeted, high-concept thrillers (see: Split, Old, Knock at the Cabin). He remains, however, one of Hollywood's most polarizing directors.

You need look no further than the reception to his latest film, Trap, for proof of that. The serial killer thriller was both embraced and tossed aside in equal measure when it hit theaters in early August. Some were quick to share their praise for the film's technical craftsmanship and perfectly pitched lead performance, while others dismissed it based on Shyamalan's consistently stiff dialogue and its absurdly twisty third act. Now, several months later, Trap is officially streaming on Max.

The 10 most popular shows on (HBO) Max right now
The cast of Dune: Prophecy.

A new month means a fresh start for the most popular shows on HBO. And even though The Penguin only ended a week ago, it's still perched at No. 2 on the list. The new No. 1 is Dune: Prophecy, the prequel to the two Dune movies. If that holds, the series will have a strong case for a second season.

Besides The Penguin, Last Week Tonight, The Franchise, and Real Time with Bill Maher, all of the other shows have never been on this list before. That includes the dramedy series Somebody Somewhere, which has kicked off its third and final season.
