Sing
At the box office since March 2

Personal shopper
At the box office since March 2
The second collaboration between Olivier Assayas ("Carlos") and Kristen Stewart (following the results of the first, "Sils Maria", which became the first American woman to be awarded a Cesar - French Oscar - best actress).

T2 Trainspotting (Trainspotting 2)
At the box office since March 8
Coming 21 years after the original, the sequel to one of the main films of the 1990s is not so much an adaptation of the literary sequel to Trainspotting, the novel Porno, as an independent story.

Split
At the box office since March 16
The final and irrevocable rehabilitation of M. Night Shyamalan - a thriller filmed for a pittance about a man kidnapping three girls, in which 23 live and the 24th person (two dozen facets of James McAvoy's dramatic gift) threatens to wake up, earned over 200 million and was crowned impressive even by standards the author's trick with his ears. The main victim was played by one of the most interesting young actresses Anya Taylor-Joy ("The Witch").

At the box office since March 16
The penultimate Oscar echo in the Russian box office is an unpretentious but convincing crowd-pleaser about African-American women, whose mathematical and organizational skills helped the United States to keep up with the USSR in the space race.

Manchester by the Sea
At the box office since March 23
More or less the rightful winner of two Oscars - for Best Original Screenplay by Kenneth Lonergan and Best Actor by Casey Affleck - tells the story of a lonely man forced to return to a place where everyone (especially Michelle Williams) reminds him of a tragedy from the past. The most desperate of stories, while pretending to be spiritually uplifting.

At the box office since March 23
