2. Project Hail Mary (March 20)

3. Forbidden Fruits (March 27)

If you’re looking for something a little darker (and a little campier), Meredith Alloway's Forbidden Fruits blends horror, satire, and witchy chaos. The film follows Apple (Lili Reinhart), an employee at a mall store called Free Eden, who secretly runs a femme witch cult in the shop’s basement after hours alongside her coworkers Cherry (Victoria Pedretti) and Fig (Alexandra Shipp). Their ritualistic sisterhood unravels when a new hire, Pumpkin (Lola Tung), joins the group and questions the authenticity of their carefully constructed bond. As tensions rise and power dynamics shift, the women are forced to confront the darker sides of their friendships. Produced by Diablo Cody, the writer behind the cult classic Jennifer’s Body, the film combines dark humor with a focus on female friendships.

 

 

 

4. Hoppers (March 6)

Pixar’s Hoppers adds a lighter animated adventure to March’s lineup. The story follows a young girl who uses experimental technology to transfer her mind into a robotic beaver, allowing her to communicate with animals and experience the natural world in a completely new way. The movie has received great reviews, currently sitting at a 96% on Rotten Tomatoes as of this writing.
