There’s a fair bit of variety with the movies hitting cinemas this weekend, with The Divergent Series: Allegiant leading the charge to provide some action and drama, Kung Fu Panda 3 bringing some animated shenanigans, and Sleeping with Other People delivering the laughs.
Here’s the movies releasing Friday, 18 March 2016:
The Divergent Series: Allegiant – Part 1
Release date: 18 March 2016
The Divergent Series heads closer towards its climactic conclusion as Tris (Shailene Woodley) returns in this penultimate instalment in the book-to-big-screen adaptation of author Veronica Roth’s Divergent series. In this follow up to the admittedly underwhelming Insurgent, Tris and Four (Theo James) must, for the first time, journey outside the walls of a future-set Chicago.
Kung Fu Panda 3
Release date: 18 March 2016
Jack Black returns to voice the martial arts-loving panda in the third instalment in the animated franchise. Ater reuniting with his long-lost father (Bryan Cranston), Po (Jack Black) must transition from student to teacher and train a group of fun-loving, clumsy pandas to become martial-arts fighters. Together, the kung-fu brethren unite to take on the evil Kai (J.K. Simmons), a supernatural warrior who becomes stronger with each battle.
Sleeping with Other People
Release date: 18 March 2016
There’s a few rom-coms hitting the cinemas this year, but Sleeping with Other People looks to be one of the most different and interesting spins of the genre. Twelve years after a one-night stand, a man (Jason Sudeikis) and a woman (Alison Brie) run into each other and try to maintain a platonic relationship despite their mutual attraction. Expect a lot of filth, awkwardness, and endearing moments.
