1. The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (April 1, 2026) — The Biggest Film of the Year So Far?
Let’s be real: this is the one everyone is talking about. The sequel to 2023’s massively successful The Super Mario Bros. Movie arrives on April 1, 2026 — and no, that’s not an April Fool’s joke.
Directed by Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic and produced by Illumination in partnership with Nintendo, the film takes Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and Toad into outer space for their most ambitious adventure yet. The delightful twist? They pick up a new friend along the way — none other than Yoshi, voiced by Donald Glover, whose charisma alone is enough to light up any galaxy. New additions Brie Larson voices Rosalina and Benny Safdie brings Bowser Jr. to life, while the returning ensemble of Chris Pratt, Anya Taylor-Joy, Charlie Day, Jack Black, and Keegan-Michael Key all reprise their beloved roles.
The story follows the gang as they battle Bowser Jr.’s plan to avenge his father and restore the Bowser name — taking the fight from the Mushroom Kingdom all the way across the cosmos. Early box office tracking puts the 5-day Easter opening north of $160 million domestically, with some analysts suggesting it could even eclipse the original. Families, this is your film of the year — don’t miss it.
Runtime: 1h 38m | Rating: PG | Formats: RealD 3D & IMAX
2. The Drama (April 3, 2026) — A24’s Most Irresistible Romance in Years
If the name A24 immediately gets your attention, you’re not alone. The studio behind Hereditary, Midsommar, and Everything Everywhere All at Once is back — this time with something far more romantic, but no less unsettling.
The Drama stars Zendaya and Robert Pattinson as Emma and Charlie, a newly engaged couple whose blissful wedding week implodes when one of them reveals a devastating secret. Directed by Norwegian filmmaker Kristoffer Borgli (Dream Scenario) and produced by none other than Ari Aster, the film carries that signature blend of dark comedy and squirming emotional discomfort that only A24 seems to pull off with such precision.
The marketing alone has been genius — A24 placed a fake engagement announcement in The Boston Globe, and the resulting fan confusion (many genuinely thought Zendaya and Pattinson were a real couple) perfectly captured the film’s off-kilter charm. The supporting cast includes Alana Haim, Mamoudou Athie, and Hailey Gates.
Tracking suggests an opening around $15 million — impressive for an original, non-IP romance. This is one for date nights, or for anyone who enjoys watching love get wonderfully complicated.
Release: April 3, 2026 | Studio: A24 | Director: Kristoffer Borgli
3. They Will Kill You (March 27, 2026, ongoing) — The Most Unhinged Horror-Comedy in Town
Already in theatres and building a devoted cult following, They Will Kill You opened on March 27, 2026 and is very much worth catching this week if you haven’t already.
Zazie Beetz plays Asia Reaves, an ex-convict who takes a housekeeping job at The Virgil — an elite New York City high-rise that turns out to be the front for a literal Satanic cult. What begins as a job-from-hell quickly becomes a blood-soaked survival mission as Asia fights through immortal masked tenants to rescue her sister Maria (played by Myha’la). Patricia Arquette is terrifying as Lilith, the cult leader, while Tom Felton and Heather Graham bring dark comedic energy as deranged cult members.
Directed by Russian filmmaker Kirill Sokolov, the film premiered at SXSW to buzzy reviews, with critics praising Beetz’s fierce, committed performance even as they noted the film’s enjoyably thin plotting. Rotten Tomatoes currently sits at 66% — divisive but never boring. It’s an R-rated horror-comedy that knows exactly what it is and delivers it with glee.
Rating: R | Runtime: 1h 34m | Studio: Warner Bros.
