Based on information provided by the Box Office Mojo and some internet research, here are just some of the movies you can expect to see in the movie theatres in March:

Saint Judy
Opens: March 1

The film tells the story of Los Angeles immigration attorney Judy Wood (Michelle Monaghan), who single-handedly changed United States asylum law to include women as a protected class. Wood’s victory has saved the lives of tens of thousands of female immigrants around the world. The cast includes Common, Peter Krause, Mykelti Williamson, Aimee Garcia, Kevin Chapman, Gil Birmingham, Alfred Molina and Alfre Woodard.

Captain Marvel
Opens: March 8

Set in 1995, the film follows Carol Danvers (Brie Larson), a former U.S. Air Force fighter pilot, as she turns into one of the galaxy’s mightiest heroes and joins Starforce, an elite Kree military team, before returning home with questions about her past and identity when Earth is caught in the center of a galactic conflict between two alien worlds. The ensemble cast includes Samuel L. Jackson, Lee Pace, Ben Mendelsohn, Gemma Chan, Jude Law, Annette Bening, Djimon Hounsou and Clark Gregg.

Gloria Bell

A free-spirited divorcee spends her nights on the dance floor, joyfully letting loose at clubs around Los Angeles. She soon finds herself thrust into an unexpected new romance, filled with the joys of budding love and the complications of dating. The cast includes Julianna Moore, Sean Astin, Michael Cera, Alanna Ubach, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Holland Taylor, John Turturro, Rita Wilson and Brad Garrett.

Five Feet Apart
Opens: March 15

Seventeen-year-old Stella (Haley Lu Richardson) spends most of her time in the hospital as a cystic fibrosis patient. Her life is full of routines, boundaries and self-control — all of which get put to the test when she meets Will, an impossibly charming teen who has the same illness. There’s an instant flirtation, though restrictions dictate that they must maintain a safe distance between them. As their connection intensifies, so does the temptation to throw the rules out the window and embrace that attraction. The film also stars Cole Sprouse, Claire Forlani, Parminder Nagra, Moises Arias and Emily Baldoni.

The Aftermath
Opens: March 15

The film is set in postwar Germany in 1946, focusing on Rachael Morgan (Keira Knightley), who arrives in the ruins of Hamburg in the bitter winter, to be reunited with her husband Lewis (Jason Clarke), a colonel of the British Forces Germany charged with rebuilding the shattered city. But as they set off for their new home, Rachael is stunned to discover that Lewis has made an unexpected decision: They will be sharing the grand house with its previous owners, a German widower (Alexander Skarsgard) and his troubled daughter. In this charged atmosphere, enmity and grief give way to passion and betrayal.

The Mustang
Opens: March 15

A violent convict (Matthias Schoenaerts) is given the chance to participate in a rehabilitation therapy program centered on the training of wild mustangs. The cast includes Connie Britton, Bruce Dern and Josh Stewart.

Wonder Park
Opens: March 15

A young imaginative 10-year old girl named Cameron “June” (Brianna Denski) spent her childhood days constructing an amusement park filled with fantastical rides and inhabited by talking animals called Wonderland with her mother (Jennifer Garner) and her friends, but she lost her sense of imagination and wonder after her mother died and growing up, until she finds the real Wonderland in the woods. She needs to team up with the animals to stop the destruction of Wonderland by Chimpanzombies and bring it back to life. Other voices will be provided by Matthew Broderick, Kenan Thompson, Ken Jeong and Mila Kunis.

Dumbo
Opens: March 29

Circus owner Max Medici (Danny DeVito) enlists Holt Farrier (Colin Farrell) to care for a newborn elephant whose oversized ears make him a laughing stock in an already struggling circus.

Vandevere (Michael Keaton) and an aerial artist named Colette Marchant (Eva Green) swoop in to make the peculiar pachyderm a star. The cast includes Alan Arkin.

On February 25, the winter premiere of the final season of Shadowhunters will air on Freeform at 8 PM.

That same night (February 25), the new NBC drama The Enemy Within will debut at 10 PM. In this fast-paced, spy-hunting thriller, Erica Shepherd (Jennifer Carpenter) is a brilliant former CIA operative, now known as the most notorious traitor in American history serving life in a Supermax prison. Against every fiber of his being but with nowhere else to turn, FBI Agent Will Keaton (Morris Chestnut) enlists Shepherd to help track down a fiercely dangerous and elusive criminal she knows all too well. For Keaton, it’s not easy to trust the woman who cost him so much. While Shepherd and Keaton have different motivations for bringing the enemy to justice, they both know that to catch a spy… they must think like one.

The series follows the story of Kit “Kick” Lannigan (Leven Rambin), survivor of a highly publicized child-abduction case, and Frank Novak (Chris Noth), the FBI agent who rescued her.

She finds her calling when Novak persuades her to join a special task force he created dedicated to solving abductions and missing persons’ cases.
