That means titles, directors and actors will start showing up on theater marquees that studios hope will be repeated on Oscar night. Not that the popcorn season has popped its last kernel.

This fall season is no exception, with awards contenders getting carted out amongst the crowd-pleasers."

This fall, for example, brings the hard-luck rockers from "Spinal Tap" back to the big screen in a much-anticipated sequel. "Downton Abbey" gets a "Grand Finale." Bill Condon offers a new take on "Kiss of the Spider Woman." And Oscar Isaac and Jacob Elordi star in Guillermo del Toro's new adaption of Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein.""
