We’ve always booked through Paramount and this year was told we had access through November 14 as it was being pulled that day.

Fathom Events is a scourge. Now that they have this locked up in an exclusive agreement for a few years, local single screen theatres can't book this classic. The single screen I'm at always has this play Saturday and Sunday morning on Thanksgiving weekend. Not this year though. A Christmas Story will also be locked into an exclusive agreement soon as well.

This film was very frustrating. Universal was all set for a wide release before abruptly pulling back and going down to 600 screens. I work at a single screen theatre (USA) that had this booked. Universal pulled out booking at that time and told us they weren’t doing any single screens. Pseudo Spielberg biopic about discovering the magic of cinema and Universal isn’t booking single screen theatres. Makes no sense at all.
