You don’t need to be Irish to find your very own pot of gold at theaters this weekend with a lineup of new movies opening that includes a Disney reimagining of a '70s classic, a quirky comedy from the makers of Little Miss Sunshine, a remake of a Wes Craven horror original and a Playboy "buddy" comedy.
