I need help anyone! I keep checking the AMC Theater listing for the 13th in my local area but Ghostbusters isn't listed! Is it FOR SURE that it's going to AMC Theaters?? And if so, can someone help me find the listing so I know what time on the 13th it will start? Please! I already went to the re-release for Taxi Driver and Scarface and I will NOT miss this re-release!

@ghostman i believe that link for back to the future is from last year, since it says 25th anniversary and back to the future was released in 1985.

@ghostman Yep you bet. I can go into any theatre and a ticket for myself and a friend at any given time and 3 tickets on a Wednesday with an orange code. I also get a %40 snack discount at Cineworld (AMC) cinemas.
In which i'm seeing Killer Elite, Drive & Jurassic Park tomorrow. This factor is always the main reason why i'm so behind on so many reviews lol

@jayaottley hold on a minute...did you say 'Free entry for a movie at any theater'? or do you mean that YOU get free entry and citizens/residents still have to pay?

@ghostman Then i'll be a happy bunny..... James Stewart matinees.
Even though we pretty much got a cinema like that over here in the UK it still be awesome. The simple factor that the BFI and The Prince Charles Cinema play oldies is the reason why they're my fav theatres

@jayaottley What if Hollywood runs out of remakes and just starts re-booting itself and re-releases every movie from 1960 and forward?

@ghostman Ahhhhh we did that with the Deathly Hallows Pt.2, all the Potter films were released back into cinemas at ١ each.
Were now going to do the same with Twilight, were gonna show Twilight then New Moon after Eclipse and then a midnight screening of Breaking Dawn pt.1.... Thank God i requested that day off.
And pah, who needs Potter or Twilight when you got Ghostbusters, Jurassic Park & Back To The Future :)

@ghostman Back for 2 weeks in selected theatres from 23rd of sept. I think its like an anniversary or something.... But *DIES* This is about as awesome as last week when they brought Star Wars back to cinema last week for the Blu-Ray Release
Now all i need is Back To The Future to return to cinema, which is happening, so there is a God after all for movies :D

I'd actually really like to see this. I'll be honest, I've only seen Ghostbusters once and barely remember it. It'd be cool to see it in theaters as a proper re-viewing.
