New Movies Out Now in Theaters: What to See This Week:

It’s not always easy to find out which movies are hitting theaters each week, especially after the Hollywood strikes led to many release date changes. With the WGA and actors strikes resolved and summer blockbusters starting to roll in, March is filled with both big budget flicks and new indie releases.

Rebecca Hall, Brian Tyree Henry and Dan Stevens star in the monster-mash action movie “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire” which sees the two legendary creatures go toe to toe as humans explore Skull Island and learn more about their mysterious origins. Also hitting theaters is “La Chimera,” a indie romance comedy about a group of archeologists operating on the black market staring Josh O’Connor, Carol Duarte, Vincenzo Nemolato and Isabella Rossellini. A few re-releases to look out for this week include the sci-fi thriller “Ex Machina” staring Alicia Vikander, Domhnall Gleeson and Oscar Isaac which will screen exclusively in IMAX, and the classic French noir “The Samurai” directed by Jean-Pierre Melville, which is getting a 4k restoration from Janus Films. Keep an eye out for Dev Patel’s “Monkey Man” and horror reboot “The First Omen” which both release next week.
