Movie theaters haven’t exactly been bustling since the start of 2025 and the calendar year is about to turn in one of its most meagre frames yet. Even with two new wide releases - Paramount’s slapstick actioner “Novocaine” and Focus Features’ spy film “Black Bag” - exhibitors are in danger of a particularly beleaguered weekend,

This week, several new movies are coming to theaters with something for everyone to enjoy. If you’re not a huge fan of spy thrillers like Jason Bourne or the likes, have no fear, there are also comedic action movies and dramatic mysteries available to see on the big screen instead!

Also new in theaters starting March 14: "The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie," "Eephus," "October 8," "The Last Supper" and more.

Jack Quaid’s action-comedy “Novocaine” topped a painfully slow weekend at the box office with $8.7 million. For theater owners, however, there’s not too much to celebrate: It’s one of the worst debuts to still capture the No.

"Novocaine" is off to a good start at the box office with an estimated $8.5 million opening weekend, but the marketplace is in a terrible slump.

This week’s Silver Screen Spotlight takes a look at the new films “Novocaine”, “Black Bag”, “The Last Supper”, and “The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie”.

The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie — Porky Pig and Daffy Duck are back on the big screen. The classic odd couple is turned into unlikely heroes when their antics uncover a secret alien mind control plot being staged out of the local bubble gum factory. Click here for showtimes.

Paramount's Novocaine made $1.75 million in previews and the R-rated action comedy might lead the box office this weekend with anywhere from $8M-$12M,
