Is it still showing where YOU live?

[MvRojo]

I can watch it on my hotel room TV for $15.99. Not going to though.

 

[Doggeh]

Starting this Friday at my AMC we have added 2 showings of Trek, bringing it up to 4 showings per day.

Bad as I want to see it again, I'm still waiting to find out when the very last showing of it will be. That'll be my 10th and final viewing.

Three weeks at the $5 second run theater here in Morgantown.
The Abomination mocks me with its undying tenacity.
sigh.
Maybe I'll go see it a third time...

Go. You know you want to.

For that amount (from what I've heard) you can get a pretty good hotel porn movie.

Just checked the Warner Theatre schedule. Tomorrow's 7:10 PM screening will be the last for Trek at the Warner, and for the Morgantown area (unless the WVU Gluck Theater has a screening in the fall, which is a distinct possibility). I'm probably not going to squeeze in one last showing, will just wait for the DVD. It's had a good run at the Warner though - been there since June 26! (per one of my earlier posts)

On the upside, Moon, which I've heard good things about, debuts Friday at the Warner.

ETA: SheliakBob, you're in Morgantown too?!? Small world....

 

[Michael Chris]

Tomorrow will be the last day at the big theater. Friday it will shift to the cheaper theaters. There will be 18 showings on Friday between the two cheap ones.

 

[Rackon]

Woohoo! On Friday XI opens at our local second run Cinemark theaters with 4 shows daily.

Jeri's record may fall

 

[pookha]

it is still going to be on the big theatre.

Kitty Duran had seen it 30 times, last time I talked to her. She's the new gunslinger to beat.

Jeri, I think you're a goner but I may not have time to surpass Miss Kitty!

But tempting, mighty tempting.

 

[Jeri]

Yeah, I kinda lost interest after it left the IMAX. I saw it 15 times in IMAX, but only managed 5 more regular. If it returned to our IMAX, I'd be more tempted.

 

[Crusher Disciple]

a lot of theatre groups contract for a specific amount of time for a movie at a time based on industry estimates.
some of the local regions may be able to have some differences.
after the initial contract period it is more open to the local theatre .

and then there are thing were a lot of the commercial imax are in one business group together no matter which theatre they are in.

they seem to contract movies together .
this is why so many only had star trek contracted for two weeks and transformers for a month.

Yup.

Theaters lease through a distributor - sometimes the studio, sometimes another studio, sometimes a releasing subsuduary of a studio.

Big chains get first crack. Then major regional independents, then smaller independents.

Okay, that makes sense. It's gotta be hard as hell to bet on how well a movie will do weeks and even months in advance.

 

[pookha]

our imax got real nervous when the reviews hit/
they put up these huge signs star trek two weeks only and you could tell they wanted it longer.
why so many of them put in the late night showings.

 

[Ovation]

It has moved to the second-run theatre as of today in my area. Full slate of showings, including weekend late night shows.

 

[Green Shirt]

Saw it today (aug 7) at the $3 movie. About 20 people in a living room size theater. There was an ignorant jerk there laughing at the jokes real loud (I guess to let everybody else know when to laugh).

 

[Sector 7]

It is finally at our $2 Cinema!

Looks like I will get a few more chances to see it before the DVD comes out on November 17!

 

[Daneel]

It left my local $3 cinema today. So now it's officially no longer playing anywhere in my city. There are, however, three cinemas still showing it in Toronto (2 first-run multiplexes, 1 independent theatre), and it's still playing at the Ontario Science Centre IMAX. Plus it's playing at the 24-screen theatre in the neighbouring town of Oakville.

 

[CaptainKen]

I have not been able to find it for weeks now on the east side of Toronto... not exactly a small town, but no Trek after the initial run.

 

[Daneel]

^^^^
It appears to be playing at the AMC Kennedy Commons 20 in Scarborough, but as I'm not sure exactly where you are, perhaps that's a little too eastward for you.

Beyond that, yeah, it's only showing at the Kingsway (in the western part of the city) and the AMC Yonge & Dundas (which is, of course, pretty much at the centre of downtown).

Checking for Hicksville/Levittown area, I get one theater on West 42nd and one on Second Ave.

I'm confused. Isn't that a Manhattan address, and not on Long Island? Not that I'm saying Long Island residents can't commute to Manhattan, but it just seems odd for the search you entered.

Both are Manhattan, yes. Those were the closest theaters showing the movie (at the time the post was made) for anyone on the western end of Long Island. For anyone in the middle or the eastern end of the island, hopping a ferry to Connecticut could possibly have made a shorter trip to a theater showing the movie.
