The weekend will kick off with The Holdover, rated R, at 9:30 am on Saturday, March 9. Nominated for best picture, best actor (Paul Giamatti), and best supporting actress (Da'Vine Joy Randolph), The Holdovers shares the story of a cranky history teacher forced to remain on campus over the holidays.

Return on Sunday, March 10, for the remake of The Color Purple, rated PG-13, at 1:30 pm. Based on the Alice Walker book, The Color Purple, recounts the story of a woman who finds strength and hope in the unbreakable bonds of sisterhood.
