NEW YORK - Though the fall movie season is traditionally the time of year when Hollywood gets serious, this fall is stuffed with spectacles.

Alongside the seasonal biopics, true-life tales and period dramas that will surely contend for Oscars, some of the biggest franchises around are set to add a whiff of popcorn to awards season.

James Bond returns in “Spectre’’ (Nov. 6), “The Hunger Games’’ comes to a close with “Mockingjay, Part 2’’ (Nov. 20) and a little movie called “Star Wars: The Force Awakens’’ lands Dec. 18.

Here’s a monthly rundown of a few highlights to the upcoming movie season:
