As Easter approaches, it seems to get even slower at the box office with barely any films opening up this weekend. Still you can sit back and watch what seems to be a mix of 300 and Mad Max by taking in Doomsday. Jim Carrey and Steve Carell star together (kinda) in a new version of Horton Hears A Who. And for those of you under the age of sixteen or simply don’t care what burns out your retinas, then there is always Never Back Down. Hope to still see you at the movies…if you dare!

A deadly plague, known as the “Reaper Virus,” has broken out, killing hundreds of thousands in its wake.
