\n\tWWII drama \u201cThe Nightingale,\u201d starring Dakota and Elle Fanning in their first starring movie role together, is moving a month later and will now face off against \u201cSonic the Hedgehog 4\u201d on March 19. The later date puts it in prime territory for college students on spring break in the lead-up to Easter \u2014 especially women, since the historical drama can serve as counter-programming to \u201cSonic.\u201d<\/p>\n
