Alright! The list for the Hollywood movies releasing in March is out and we couldn’t be happier to inform that you might just cry out because of two things: first, thank the lord because March is here. Second, Superman v Batman: Dawn of Justice comes out this month! (Priorities, guys). But that isn’t the only great movie coming out! A sequel or two, couple of animated movies that the kid in you will really love! No the latter wasn’t especially for the pregnant women. Anyway, one thing is for sure, the list for Hollywood movies releasing in March is big and you better plan a calendar if you don’t want to miss out on these! Take a look and try to stay put (though it’s going to be hard to do so as you scroll down!)
