Us

Set to be released on Friday, March 22, "Us" already has a Tomatometer Score of 99 percent on Rotten Tomatoes.
" 'Us' is a glorious symphony of fear, to be sure, but it's also an ambitious sci-fi allegory and a pitch-black comedy of the haves and have-nots," noted David Sims of the Atlantic, while USA Today's Brian Truitt said, "(Jordan) Peele is this generation's Hitchcock, for sure, but also a true American original with introspective themes in hand and suspense to spare."

With a Tomatometer Score of 91 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, "How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World" has become a favorite since its release on Feb. 22.
