The week kicks off with director Pablo Larraín’s Jackie, starring Natalie Portman in an Academy Award-nominated performance. March 7 also brings home Walt Disney Animation Studios‘ animated blockbuster Moana in an edition packed with special features, including an all-new Mini Maui movie.

The latter title arrives on DVD only and you can take a look behind the scenes with an exclusive featurette in the player below.
March 7 offers a pair of horror titles with recent big-screen thrillers Incarnate and The Eyes of My Mother. The former, hailing from Blumhouse and WWE Studios, stars Aaron Eckhart, while the latter, written and directed by Nicolas Pesce, has garnered critical acclaim for its haunting narrative.
Two animated films come home March 7. Look for both director Keiichi Hara’s acclaimed anime biopic Miss Hokusai and, on DVD only, Legend of the Chupacabras, continuing the Mexican family adventure franchise.
The Criterion Collection this week offers a new edition of Andrew Haigh’s latest, 45 Years. The drama, starring Charlotte Rampling and Tom Courtenay, follows Criterion’s Blu-ray of Haigh’s previous feature, Weekend.
Shout! Factory‘s eclectic Shout Select line continues March 7 with Colors. The 1988 police drama hails from director Dennis Hopper and stars Sean Penn and Robert Duvall.
Warner Archive has a double helping of Blu-ray titles this week. Look for Julie Andrews and William Holden in Blake Edwards’ 1981 comedy S.O.B. and for Fred Astaire and Petula Clark in Francis Ford Coppola’s 1968 musical Finian’s Rainbow.
Small-screen releases for March 7 kick off with New England Patriots: Super Bowl LI Champions, offering NFL fans a chance to relive the recent big game. Meanwhile, the fourth season of The Americans hits DVD, as does the second volume of Power Rangers Dino Super Charge and two different complete series: That ’70s Show gets a Blu-ray re-release, while the complete Star Trek: Voyager brings home all seven seasons of the sci-fi spinoff. It’s a particularly apt week for Voyager, too, as a sixth season episode offers an early acting role for Moana‘s demigod, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
Digital HD releases hitting March 7 begin with the moving true story Lion. The drama tells of a young Indian boy who gets lost as a child and who, as an adult, sets out to track down his family. The week also brings Ben Affleck‘s recent Dennis Lehane adaptation Live By Night, director David Yates’ return to the J.K. Rowling’s Wizarding World with Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and (arriving Friday, March 10) the video game adaptation Assassin’s Creed. Rounding out the week is the documentary Burlesque: Heart of the Glitter Tribe, which takes an up close look at modern burlesque performers, and writer and director Martin Koolhoven’s western thriller Brimstone, starring Guy Pearce and Dakota Fanning.
