JESSICA CHASTAIN stars in “The Zookeeper’s Wife,” opening this weekend.

Will March go out like a lamb? We’re not sure, but April will start on Saturday with one major event locally. Here’s our look at what’s happening this week in the Garden Grove-Huntington Beach-Westminster area.

WEATHER: A little cloudy on Monday, then sunny although the weekend. That’s what the National Weather Service is predicting for the area. Highs in the high 70s and lows in the low to mid 50s. Ought to be a nice week, meteorologically-speaking.

ENTERTAINMENT: If you’re an Alec Baldwin fan – either from his “SNL” skits or from his epic speech in “Glengarry Glen Ross – you might look forward to the opening this weekend of “The Boss Baby,” an animated tale about an exceptionally grown-up infant with a mission. Voices by Baldwin, Steve Buscemi, Lisa Kudrow, Tobey Maguire and Miles Christopher Bakshi. It’s rated PG-13.

“BOSS BABY” opens this weekend in local cinemas.

Also opening in area cinemas this weekend are:
