From A24 horror to a Colleen Hoover adaptation and a comedy headlined by a rising stand-up star, these films mark the start of a busy spring release schedule that builds toward high-profile tentpoles in April and May.<\/p>\n<h2>New this weekend (March)<\/h2>\n<h3>Undertone<\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>Release:<\/strong> now in the US and several territories; UK on April 10<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>A24\u2019s latest horror seeks to unsettle audiences through sound design and creeping atmosphere rather than jump scares. The story centers on Evy (Nina Kiri), a podcast co-host and skeptic who deliberately plays ten recordings of a supernatural voice in a row \u2014 and then finds herself entangled with something inexplicable. Early critical response has been broadly positive, with a roughly <strong>77%<\/strong> critical rating on Rotten Tomatoes at launch.<\/p>\n<h3>How to Make a Killing<\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>Release:<\/strong> now worldwide<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Glen Powell leads this darkly comic thriller as Becket Redfellow, a working-class man excluded from a wealthy family who plots to claim what he believes is his rightful inheritance. The film mixes caper elements with satirical takes on privilege and greed. Reviews have been mixed so far: critics gave it a lukewarm reception, with a Rotten Tomatoes score near <strong>43%<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>Reminders of Him<\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>Release:<\/strong> now worldwide<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Adapted from a Colleen Hoover novel, this drama follows Kenna (Maika Monroe), who returns home after serving time in prison and tries to reconnect with the daughter she never met. The film leans into emotional reconciliation and the complications of starting over. Critical reactions are split \u2014 the film held about a <strong>61%<\/strong> score on Rotten Tomatoes shortly after release \u2014 leaving room for audiences to decide.<\/p>\n<h3>The Breadwinner<\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>Release:<\/strong> now worldwide<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Comedian Nate Bargatze makes his feature-film debut in a family comedy from Sony. He plays a stay-at-home dad who must navigate chaos when his wife travels for a major TV opportunity; Mandy Moore co-stars. The film\u2019s trailer attracted strong online interest, but as of mid-March there were few critical reviews available to gauge broader opinion.<\/p>\n<ul><\/p>\n<li><strong>Why this matters now:<\/strong> these releases set the tone for spring box-office trends and will influence early awards-season conversations for certain genres.<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li><strong>Who should pay attention:<\/strong> horror fans to judge A24\u2019s next move; readers of Hoover\u2019s books curious about adaptations; viewers looking for lighter fare from stand-up talent.<\/li>\n<p>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Next up: late March \u2014 a packed week<\/h2>\n<h3>Project Hail Mary<\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>Release:<\/strong> March 20 worldwide<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Ryan Gosling stars in this big-budget adaptation of Andy Weir\u2019s bestseller about an unlikely astronaut on a one-way mission to save the sun. The film mixes large-scale sci-fi spectacle with an intimate survival story and teases unexpected alliances and scientific problem-solving that should appeal to mainstream and genre audiences alike.<\/p>\n<h3>Ready or Not 2: Here I Come<\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>Release:<\/strong> March 20 worldwide<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>The sequel continues the story of Grace (Samara Weaving), picking up after the violent events of the first film. Expect the same black-comic tone and gory set pieces, with new threats introduced via a shadowy Council and the return of familial betrayals that drive the plot.<\/p>\n<h3>They Will Kill You<\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>Release:<\/strong> March 27 worldwide<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Zazie Beetz leads an action-horror with sharp comedic edges set inside an eerie Manhattan tower.
