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).

Max’s No Sleep October movie slate highlights new horror films and Halloween classics
Dylan O'Brien sits in a boat and puts his hand on the lever.

This month on Max, the No Sleep October collection celebrates new horror films and Halloween staples that will keep you up at night. From new stories and Max originals to iconic classics and terrifying sagas, Max's extensive library is perfect for horror fans looking to satisfy their spooky craving.

Max's first original film of the month is Salem's Lot, which is also the first feature film adaptation of Stephen King's classic 1975 novel. Salem's Lot stars Lewis Pullman as Ben Mears, an author who returns to his hometown and discovers a ruthless vampire haunting its residents. Directed by Annabelle scribe Gary Dauberman, Salem's Lot streams to Max on October 3.

Everything coming to Max (formerly HBO Max) in October 2024
5 people stand in a field in Salem's Lot.

Spooky season is right around the corner, and the folks at HBO and Max intend to throw a monster mash that will impress the most jaded of every ghoul and goblin out there. But the streamer has more than just tricks and treats to dish out in October.

In addition to finally premiering the long-delayed Stephen King adaption Salem's Lot, the streamer will debut the original series The Franchise, which takes a comedic look into the making of a big-budget superhero movie. Other notable additions to the programming slate include the A24 drama Tuesday with Julia Louis-Dreyfus and the streaming debut of MaXXXine, the final chapter in the X trilogy.

One of the year’s best can’t-miss films is finally streaming on Max
Helicopters fly over a military camp in Civil War.

2024 hasn't been a particularly memorable year for movies. Only a few truly great films have hit theaters over the past nine months, and a number of those movies, like Furiosa, haven't had the kind of impact among general viewers that many of their supporters hoped they would. Generally speaking, it's been an unremarkable year for moviegoers with only a handful of films emerging as the kind of rare, distinct spectacles that demand to be seen.

One of those movies, Alex Garland's Civil War, electrified and polarized critics when it was released in April. The film, a dystopian thriller set in a near-future America that has been divided into two warring factions, surprised and disappointed certain viewers with its unexpectedly apolitical approach to its deliberately button-pushing story. Without the baggage of any specific political points of view present to weigh it down, though, Civil War gets to stand on its own terms as an unflinching, utterly gripping war epic.
