There are a couple of other big-budget releases to come later in March as well, including the latest films in the Ghostbusters and Godzilla v Kong franchises, while for younger audiences Jack Black returns to voice Po in the fourth entry in the Kung Fu Panda series.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, there\u2019s also Ethan Coen\u2019s first solo directorial outing, Drive-Away Dolls, Sydney Sweeney stars in intriguing psychological horror flick Immaculate, and acting titans Jessica Chastain and Anne Hathaway face off in Mothers\u2019 Instinct.<\/p>\n
