A look at what's new in theaters this week.

Black Panther (Action/Adventure, Drama, SciFi/Fantasy, PG-13, Starring Chadwick Boseman, Lupita Nyong'o, Michael B. Jordan, Danai Gurira, Angela Bassett) - "Black Panther" follows T'Challa who, after the events of "Captain America: Civil War," returns home to the isolated, technologically advanced African nation of Wakanda to take his place as King. However, when an old enemy reappears on the radar, T'Challa's mettle as King and Black Panther is tested when he is drawn into a conflict that puts the entire fate of Wakanda and the world at risk.
Early Man (Action/Adventure, Animation, Comedy, PG, Starring Eddie Redmayne, Tom Hiddleston, Maisie Williams, Timothy Spall) - Set at the dawn of time, when prehistoric creatures and woolly mammoths roamed the earth, EARLY MAN tells the story of how plucky caveman Dug, along with sidekick Hognob, unites his tribe against the mighty Bronze Age in a battle to beat them at their own game.
Samson (Drama, PG-13, Starring Jackson Rathbone, Billy Zane, Taylor James, Rutger Hauer, Caitlin Leahy) - A Hebrew with an unusual gift of strength must respond properly to the call of God on his life in order to lead his people out of enslavement. After his youthful ambition leads to a tragic marriage, his acts of revenge thrust him into direct conflict with the Philistine army. As his brother mounts a tribal rebellion, only Samson's relationship with a Philistine temptress and his final surrender both to the Philistines and to God turns imprisonment and blindness into final victory.
