Project Hail Mary grossed about $54.5 million in its second weekend, while horror releases continue to saturate the market.

SXSW's world premiere of Ready Or Not 2: Here I Come doubles down on gore and the wealth-focused premise, sending Grace into an even more brutal game with two protagonists; critics are mixed, but the festival crowd’s roar suggests strong box‑office potential for the March 20 release.

At SXSW, Ready or Not 2: Here I Come had its world premiere with Kathryn Newton energizing a screaming crowd; Samara Weaving was absent due to pregnancy, while Sarah Michelle Gellar appeared on her behalf and teased a sequel; the directors touted practical effects as the highlight, and the film arrives in theaters next Friday, March 20.

SXSW hosted the world premiere of Ready or Not 2: Here I Come, picking up Grace and sister Faith as a new round of wealthy cultists vie for power in a bloodier, more chaotic game. Samara Weaving and Kathryn Newton anchor the emotional core of the sequel, with Elijah Wood boosting the lore as a scheming lawyer; the ensemble promises a gore-filled horror-comedy that could push toward a trilogy.

The BriTANicK sketch duo, Dan McElhaney and Nick Kocher, head to SXSW with two new films—Pizza Movie, a wacky dorm hallucinogen quest grounded in friendship, and Over Your Dead Body, a remake of The Trip about a couple plotting murder—plus a live show, as they push their signature character‑driven humor learned from SNL and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, balancing goofy premises with emotional truth and using test screenings to refine jokes.
