As well as an opportunity to gorge on chocolate, the Easter weekend attracts thousands of film fans to the cinema.

A popular period for film releases, with a significant box office boost provided by families heading to the cinema en masse, the Easter period can be a goldmine for studios.

IBtimes UK gives a rundown of the biggest film releases over the Easter period, to help you choose what to watch in between egg hunts.
