🎥 In Theaters This Week


🎥 Tommy: 50th Anniversary
(IMAX re‑release; Tues, March 17th thru Wed, March 18th)

This ’70s operatic fever dream makes its return to theaters. The Who’s Roger Daltrey stars as a pinball prodigy whose childhood trauma leaves him deaf, dumb, and blind, only to emerge as an unlikely messiah for a world in search of meaning. Directed by Ken Russell and fueled by Pete Townshend’s thunderous rock score, with standout turns from Ann-Margret, Oliver Reed, Elton John, Tina Turner, Eric Clapton, and Jack Nicholson, this maximalist cult classic transforms a rock spectacle into something surreal, overwhelming, and oddly transcendent.


🎥 Project Hail Mary
(Fri, Mar 20th — wide release)

The sun is dying, and humanity is out of time. Ryan Gosling stars as a mild-mannered middle-school science teacher unexpectedly recruited for a desperate interstellar mission to save Earth. Stranded alone in deep space with fading memories of how he got there, he discovers an unusual rock-like alien he names Rocky, who becomes an unlikely partner as they work together to solve the cosmic mystery threatening both their worlds.


🎥 Ready or Not 2: Here I Come
(Fri, Mar 20th — wide release)

In this sequel to the hit horror-comedy, Grace (Samara Weaving) has just survived her in-laws’ twisted deadly ritual game, but the nightmare isn’t over yet. When a powerful new family dynasty tied to the same sinister tradition pulls her back into another life-or-death contest, she’s forced to fight once again… this time with her sister (Kathryn Newton) dragged into the blood-soaked mayhem. As alliances shift and the hunt begins anew, Grace must rely on her instincts to survive another round of a twisted family game that never seems to end.


🎥 The Pout-Pout Fish
(Fri, Mar 20th — wide release)

Based on the New York Times bestselling children’s book, this animated adventure follows Mr. Fish (Nick Offerman) and Pip (Nina Oyama) as they embark on an undersea quest to find a legendary fish that could save their homes. Featuring voices from Miranda Otto, Remy Hii, Jordin Sparks, and Amy Sedaris, the colorful ocean adventure celebrates friendship and spreading happiness beneath the waves.


🎥 Billie Eilish: Hit Me Hard and Soft – The Tour: Live in 3D
(Fri, Mar 20th — IMAX 3D release)

This immersive concert film captures the energy of Billie Eilish’s global tour through cutting-edge 3D filmmaking. Cameras place viewers inside massive arena performances as elaborate staging and striking visuals surround the crowd. Directed by Billie Eilish along with Oscar-winning filmmaker James Cameron (someone who knows a thing or two about 3D), the film also offers behind-the-scenes glimpses into the massive production, creating an audiovisual experience designed to put audiences at the center of the show.


🎥 Tow
(Fri, Mar 20th — limited release)

Inspired by a true story, recent Oscar nominee Rose Byrne stars as a struggling Seattle woman living out of her aging Toyota Camry while trying to rebuild her life and reconnect with her teenage child (Elsie Fisher). When the car is suddenly towed and impounded, she loses both her transportation and the last place she can call home. With the help of a young lawyer (Dominic Sessa), she challenges a towing company’s predatory practices, turning her fight into a class-action battle for fairness and accountability.


🎥 Wardriver
(Fri, Mar 20th — limited releases)

Easy money is never as simple as it seems. Dane DeHaan stars as a small-time hacker who skims digital cash by “wardriving,” believing he’s untouchable and his crimes are untraceable. But when a mysterious woman (Sasha Calle) pulls him into a much bigger score tied to a mob-connected lawyer (Jeffrey Donovan), he’s dragged into a world far beyond his control. Also starring Mamoudou Athie, this neo-noir thriller suggests the second you think you’ve executed the perfect crime is when everything starts to fall apart.


🎥 Vampires of the Velvet Lounge
(Fri, Mar 20th — limited release)

In this indie horror action flick, Dichen Lachman stars as a former mercenary turned undercover vampire hunter investigating a mysterious neon-lit bar in the American South. The club, run by a seductive vampire countess (Mena Suvari), secretly serves as a feeding ground for a powerful coven preying on unsuspecting patrons. As she infiltrates the bar and the body count rises—drawing in deadly figures played by Rosa Salazar and Stephen Dorff—the mission erupts into a brutal showdown between predator and prey beneath flickering neon lights.


🎥 Mr. Burton
(Fri, Mar 20th — limited release; also on ✅VOD/Digital)

Greatness doesn’t just arrive fully formed. Sometimes, it must be shaped, guided, and given a new name. In this inspirational British biopic, Harry Lawtey plays a young Richard Jenkins (later known to the world as celebrated actor Richard Burton), an unpolished Welsh miner’s son whose acting ambitions catch the eye of schoolteacher Philip Burton (Toby Jones), who becomes both mentor and adoptive father in hopes of steering him toward Oxford and the stage. Co-starring Lesley Manville, this drama traces the rise of a stage and film icon whose humble origins have gone largely forgotten.


🎥 Do Not Enter
(Fri, Mar 20th — limited release; also on ✅VOD/Digital)

Some doors are closed for a reason. A crew of thrill-seeking urban explorers livestream their most dangerous stunt yet: breaking into a long-abandoned hotel rumored to hide a fortune and haunted by a violent past. What begins as a hunt for buried riches turns into a fight for survival when something deadly stalks them through its decaying halls. Starring Jake Manley, Adeline Rudolph, and Javier Botet, this horror thriller proves some treasures aren’t meant to be found... they’re meant to keep you inside.


🎥 Golden
(Fri, Mar 20th — limited release; also on ✅VOD/Digital)

Brian Austin Green leads this high-stakes crime thriller as a master counterfeiter forced to stay one step ahead of ruthless criminals and relentless law enforcement after his talents draw dangerous attention. Co-starring Glenn Plummer, Massi Furlan, and Alena Savostikova, the story barrels toward one final job where every deal feels shaky and getting out clean may no longer be possible.


🎥 Ricky
(Fri, Mar 20th — limited release)

If Beale Street Could Talk actor Stephan James stars as a man released from prison after losing his formative years behind bars, now trying to navigate work, family, and independence with no room for mistakes and no time to breathe. Directed by Rashad Frett, who earned a Directing Award at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival, the film explores the quiet weight of lost time and the truth that freedom isn’t a reset... it’s learning to live with everything you missed.


🎥 The Cure
(Fri, Mar 20th — limited release)

Your body should be your own... unless someone else is pulling the strings. A chronically ill teenager (Samantha Cochran) begins to suspect her ultra-wealthy biotech philanthropist parents (David Dastmalchian and Ashley Greene) may be orchestrating her illness, turning her into something far more sinister than she ever imagined in this twisty indie thriller.


🎥 Two Prosecutors
(Fri, Mar 20th — limited release; in NY; other cities to follow)

Written and directed by Ukrainian filmmaker Sergei Loznitsa, this stark historical thriller drops into the paranoia of the Soviet Union in 1937, at the height of Stalin’s Great Terror. Starring Aleksandr Kuznetsov, Alexander Filippenko, and Anatoli Beliy, the story follows newly appointed prosecutor Alexander Kornyev (Kuznetsov), who receives a secret letter from a prisoner claiming wrongful imprisonment. Driven to uncover the truth, Kornyev heads to Moscow, only to find himself trapped inside a system fueled by fear and silence.


🎥 Late Shift
(Fri, Mar 20th — limited release)

From acclaimed Swiss filmmaker Petra Volpe, this tense medical drama stars German actress Leonie Benesch as an overworked nurse pushed to her limits by exhaustion, understaffing, and the ticking clock during a grueling overnight shift. Unfolding in near real time, small disruptions quickly escalate into life-or-death stakes, where every choice matters and the strain of holding it all together intensifies with each passing minute.


🎥 Maya & Samar
(Fri, Mar 20th — limited release)

Nicolette Pearse and Amanda Babaei Vieira star as two women whose brief affair in Athens sparks sudden fame for one and real danger for the other in this sexually charged drama. As love turns transactional and intimacy becomes content, a journalist walks a risky line between connection and exploitation after falling for a queer Afghan club dancer whose life becomes the basis of her next story.


🎥 Spacewoman
(Fri, Mar 20th — limited release)

This high-flying documentary follows pioneering astronaut Eileen Collins as she rises from a working-class upbringing in upstate New York to become the first woman to both pilot and command a U.S. space shuttle, with each mission raising the pressure. It’s an inside look at courage under pressure... and the price of going further than anyone before.


🎥 RAD: 40th Anniversary (RAD40)
(Sun, Mar 22nd and Tues, Mar 24th— re-release; two-night special event via Fathom Events)

Big hair, bigger air. Directed by Hal Needham, this remastered BMX cult favorite follows small-town rider Cru Jones as he chases glory on the infamous Helltrack, with a $100,000 prize at stake. Starring Bill Allen, Lori Loughlin, Talia Shire, and Ray Walston, the film captures the neon-charged rush of ’80s underdog ambition, where winning isn’t just about the prize... it’s about proving you belong at the starting gate.
