9 films, books and TV shows to look forward to this week
Between work, your family and your social life, it's hard to remember when that new movie comes out or what time your favorite show airs. Don't worry, "Good Morning America" has your back.
Here are this week's highlights for entertainment:
Sunday, April 8
April 7 marked the 25th anniversary of "The Sandlot," and to celebrate, Fox Searchlight released a collector's edition Blu-ray of the film, replete with behind-the-scenes photos, Topps baseball cards and a poster. Major League Baseball teams around the country will host screenings of the film throughout the baseball season, too.
Former "Grey's Anatomy" star Sandra Oh stars as a woman hunting down an assassin in the new series "Killing Eve," which premieres Sunday night on BBC America. If you like the thriller, based on the novellas by Luke Jennings, get ready for plenty more twists and turns: It's already been renewed for season two.
Monday, April 9
Netflix's first series from The Philippines, "Amo," which focuses on the drug trade in the Asian country, rolls out on the streaming platform.
Tuesday, April 10
All of your favorite singers -- Lady Gaga, Sam Smith, Kesha, Ed Sheeran, Miley Cyrus, and John Legend -- will be celebrating Elton John in “I’m Still Standing – A Grammy Salute” this Tuesday. In this CBS special, they’ll be covering some of John’s classics like “Candle in the Wind,” “Daniel” and even “Bennie and the Jets.” We hear John may even take the stage himself.
When Meaghan O’Connell accidentally got pregnant in her 20s, she decided to keep the baby. From that experience, she wrote her memoir-slash-mommy book, “And Now We Have Everything,” out Tuesday. It’s a brutally honest and hilarious book about unplanned pregnancy, motherhood and all things post-partum, including (gulp) sex.
Wednesday, April 11
Katie Couric goes where many Americans are afraid to go in her new NatGeo docu-series, “America Inside Out With Katie Couric,” premiering Wednesday.

Thursday, April 12
Tina Brown's 9th annual Women in the World Summit runs from April 12 to April 14. Will include conversations from the #MeToo movement and A-list celebrities including Viola Davis, Hillary Clinton, Margaret Atwood, Julianna Margulies, Terry Crews, Ellen Pompeo and more.
Friday, April 13
When you combine Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and a 10-foot-tall silverback gorilla named George, you get "Rampage," the film that breaks the mold of the typical buddy action flick.
In "Borg vs. McEnroe," Shia LaBeouf is portraying John McEnroe, yelling at referees and causing mayhem on the court. Need we say more?
Saturday, April 14
Elvis fans, rejoice: "Elvis Presley: The Searcher" debuts at 8 p.m. on HBO and will feature never-before-seen photos and footage from private collections across the globe and interviews with Priscilla Presley, Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen and Presley's guitarist, Scotty Moore.
