The screening of Ghostbusters we're hosting is now up on the Loft Cinema's website in the coming soon section. I'm hoping they correct "plasma blasters" soon.

No on one on our team have seen it in a theater either. Thats why we made certain we would be free during the movie itself and have seats reserved for us. I can't wait.

I'm sure I've put more planning into this then I ever will on a wedding. I'm hoping for it do be successful enough to become yearly and therefore easier.

Figured I'd share this from an email I got from the theater today.

"Columbia Pictures called on Monday and said that they've received an "overwhelming amount" of requests from theaters to book a print of GB to play on Halloween weekend, and that they are all out of prints, so theaters will have to play the movie on DVD. Fortunately, we booked the movie very early, so we're one of the few theaters in the country who are actually getting a 35 mm film print to play. I guess this speaks to the enduring appeal of the movie."

Wow, that's pretty cool! Good thinking to get it so far in advance...

I wish I could find someplace screening it near me!

Jettajeffro, I think it's awesome that they're bringing the film back to the big screen and letting you guys in on the fun. It's also nice to hear about the overwhelming demand Columbia gets for prints of the film.

By the way, do you have any idea how much they're paying to rent the print? I've thought about opening my own art cinema to show rare and cult films but I suspect that it would cost so much that I'd never be profitable.

I'm not sure how much it cost them. They show a different cult movie every Saturday. I started this all by emailing their suggestion box.

Here's a screenprint of the Loft's listing for the screening. Just noticed we got a nod on Proton Charging as well. We told them we were working on a ecto and they listed it anyways.
