This weekend, Disney will release its big budget live action adaptation of "Cinderella" while Warner Bros. will compete with the action film "Run All Night."

Latin Post breaks down the biggest movies hitting the big screen this weekend:

"Cinderella"

A year after the hugely successful "Maleficent," Disney will attempt to relive the success with "Cinderella." The latest adaptation, directed by Kenneth Branagh and starring Lily James, Cate Blanchett, and Richard Madden, tells the story of young Ella who finds herself at the mercy of her cruel stepmother and her daughters, when her father unexpectedly passes away. Never one to give up hope, Ella's fortunes begin to change after meeting a dashing stranger in the woods. Unlike Disney's previous live action adaptation, "Cinderella" is receiving rave reviews with most critics stating that film is "refreshingly traditional in a revisionist era." The cast is also receiving raves particularly Blanchett, who is already obtaining awards buzz for her turn. The fairy tale is likely to garner an audience of young woman at the box office and with Disney's huge marketing campaign, it is likely the film could open with $60 million. It could also end up being one of the biggest hits of the spring movie season.

"Run All Night"

Liam Neeson continues his excursion into the action film with the latest movie by Jaume Collet-Serra. The new movie also starring Ed Harris and Genesis Rodriguez, tells the story of Mobster and hit man Jimmy Conlon who has one night to figure out where his loyalties lie: with his estranged son, Mike, whose life is in danger, or his longtime best friend, mob boss Shawn Maguire, who wants Mike to pay for the death of his own son. The movie is surprisingly receiving rave reviews and it provides an alternative for men who will most likely not be interested in this weekend's Disney offering. Opening in 3,150 theaters, Warner Bros. definitely has high hopes for the film, especially with Neeson's recent selling power. Expect the film to open with at least $15 million.

"Eva"

The Weinstein Company will finally release the long overdue Spanish film. The new film, starring Daniel Bruhl, tells the story of a shy genius who is employed by his former university to design robot software. The movie premiered back in 2011 at the Venice Film Festival and it later went on to win a number of awards including the Goya Award for Best New Director. Very little is known about the film as it has no reviews and the marketing campaign has been dismal. Like last year's Weinstein Company foreign film releases, "The Players" and "On the Other Side of the Tracks," the film will open in 50 theaters and will likely dissipate quickly. If audiences are interested, they will most likely have to wait for a DVD or VOD release.

"It Follows"

Radius TWC's latest horror film tells the story of young girl who is followed by an unknown force after she gets involved in a sexual confrontation. The movie took audiences by storm when it premiered at the Cannes Film Festival last year and quickly became one of the biggest festival hits of the season. Starring Maika Monroe, the movie has obtained rave reviews and as a result Radius has chosen to release the film in theaters and not on VOD, like the majority of the company's releases. The film will open in limited release before expanding and then going to VOD platforms.

Other films being released this weekend include the Katherine Heigel and Patrick Wilson film "Home Sweet Hell" and Ethan Hawke's critically acclaimed documentary "Seymour: An Introduction." Rialto will re-release "The Tales of Hoffman" while Magnolia will unveil "The Wrecking Crew."

Todd McCarthy's critically panned "The Cobbler" will also be released as well as Lionsgate's "Cymbeline" starring Hawke, Dakota Johnson, Ed Harris, and John Leguizamo.

If none of these new releases interest audiences "Chappie," "Focus," "The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" and "Kingsman:The Secret Service" will still be in theaters.
