no way to it being a movie? or no way that there's going to be a free screening? either way, believe it. And Directed by Wes Andersen. I'm really looking forward to this one.

Awesome, can't wait.

Stop motion=WIN

[sheriffabc]

Wow! What a nice time of year for this release!!!

[emmafb]

Thanks for the head up!

[ricedion]

[Becks]

I have never heard of the book!

I have never heard of the book!

how about the Twits? That's another Roald Daul book. I think thats supposed to be made into a movie as well.

[Laserheart]

Thanks!

[sportmiester]

[lesterc]

Montreal screening is up now. Too bad I'm not in Montreal but some of you should be all over that.

[Penguin]

Thank you for the heads up! How did you know it was posted so fast?

[Bud Wiser]

Just decided to check it out a couple of times a day since I really want to see this movie. I believe they are ALL going up right now (as in as I type this) - I notice a few more US cities have been added in the last few minutes.

[Dash]

well spotted. Seems to always get refreshed around 4. I checked this morning and at lunch, and it was still NYC and LA.

The former! I'm looking forward to it as well.

I have a feeling that I'm going to miss it again for Toronto showing :)

If any kind soul would PM me when Washington DC comes on - would really appreciate it - want to surprise my grandson there!

Naturally, I will be watching too - but sometimes not as fast as some of you. TIA

A good way to stay on top of when tickets are being released is if you have access to your e-mail.

At the top of the post, go to "Thread Tools"->"Subscribe to Thread" and then choose Instant E-mail Notification. This means you will get an e-mail notifying you that someone has posted in this thread (sooner or later, one of the updates will be for a release of tickets). Then all you have to do is go back to the thread (after every e-mail) to make sure you keep getting the notifications.

I MISSED AGAIN! Montreal always fill-up to capacity fast! (Must be hoarders!)

I was checking morning/noon/2:30pm before pick up my son and after homework everyday and DOOMed once again.

Special thanks to Magneto! I am still too late!!

No Toronto but I saw Montreal there

If anyone has extras for Montreal, I would really appreciate an invite! :D

Is Vancouver getting left out again? That will be the third movie in a row now.

yea, the other canadian cities must have done something to piss off fox searchlight. Only montreal and Toronto for the last 2, but really...the last 2 weren't that great.

[BlazinTrini]

I haven't seen toronto for this one at all

[Magneto]

I haven't seen toronto for this one at all

If anything, they have been removing cities from the list. It's getting shorter every day now. Must be all the positive reviews its getting.

[Bud Wiser]

I think the only shows they have been removing are those that have already passed (ie. the showing in New York was on the 11th, and the showing in LA was on the 12th). I'm still holding out but I'm sure not betting the farm.

[Tilter]

Release is very limited this weekend, so there is hope there will be a screening next week. I checked 4 theatres for this film in my area (STC, Fairview, FMP, & AMC KC) & nada.

It's only been released in LA and NYC today. The wide release is closer to the end of the month.

I'm pretty confident that we'll be getting the screening in Toronto at the very least. the Montreal screening isn't until the 23rd, and I've never seen the Toronto one go up any earlier than a week in advance of the screening, so there's still plenty of time.

As for other Canadian cities....well...I don't know about that.

EDMONTON SCREENING IS UP.

Next Tuesday @ Empire Downtown.

(Interestingly, this is the only other Canadian screening.)

[ricedion]

I won a contest to see the movie next Monday at Varsity Toronto. so there's still a chance for them to add Toronto today or tomorrow.

[tynanwong]

Thanks OP I'll be going to the one in Edmonton!!!
