September 20, 2019 to October 6, 2019
This column covers the re-releases coming to major theater chains in the next two weeks.
If you have a specialty theater or a dine-in theater such as Alamo Drafthouse near you, check their calendars as they are almost always showing something cool.
Example: This is what I found for the Landmark Cinemas E Street Theater in DC!
These chains have different movies at each location so it’s impossible for us to keep up with them. Do some leg work and get out to see some movies!
Fathom Events
This is the largest distributor of re-releases and live broadcast in-theater events.
Even though they work closely with most of the big-time chains in the United States, not every chain will carry every event and not every theater in a given chain will carry a chain’s Fathom schedule.
Again, do some leg work!
