Raiders of the Lost Ark will extend its theatrical run
The unforgettable and beloved film from director Steven Spielberg and executive producer George Lucas will play in more than 300 digital theaters across the United States and Canada. Tickets can be purchased now. Check your local listings for participating locations and showtimes.
"The re-mastering efforts by Steven, George and their team were incredible and the movie's hugely successful run in IMAX last week was a sure sign that audiences were excited to see the film again on the big screen. We are thrilled that audiences will have that chance again as part of this extended theatrical run," said Rob Moore, Vice Chairman of Paramount Pictures.
Raiders of the Lost Ark was released for an exclusive one-week engagement in select IMAX theaters on September 7, 2012. Under the supervision of Spielberg and renowned sound designer Ben Burtt, the film was meticulously restored with careful attention to preserving its original look, sound and feel for a highly-anticipated release in theaters and on Blu-ray.
Indiana Jones: The Complete Adventures debuts on Blu-ray September 18, 2012 from Lcasfilm Ltd. and Paramount Home Media Distribution with seven hours of fascinating bonus material, including a brand new two-part documentary titled "On Set with Raiders of the Lost Ark - From Jungle to Desert and From Adventure to Legend." Featuring nearly an hour of rarely seen footage from the set of the film and archival interviews with Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and Harrison Ford, this captivating piece transports fans back to where the legend began.
Raiders of the Lost Ark was released June 1st, 1981 and stars Harrison Ford, Karen Allen, Paul Freeman, Ronald Lacey, John Rhys-Davies, Denholm Elliott, Alfred Molina, Wolf Kahler. The film is directed by Steven Spielberg.

I think we all need to thank Spielberg and Lucas for not making this a Special Edition and replace all the guns in this movie with walkie talkies.

@2movieguys Your theater is a rip-off, I pay $18 at my IMAX theater.

@SpaceCowboy T2 I agree on. Always loved the T2-3D Universal Studios show, so it'd be nice to see it on the big screen!

@SpaceCowboy@ghostman I'd be happy with just the 2D, but they're both in my top 10 films ever so I'd see them in any format. Plus Cameron will make sure it's the best 3D conversion possible.
I actually found out a few hours ago that the AFI theater here in DC is playing Alien 1-4 + Prometheus in November, so I'm pretty stoked.

@ghostman Haha! Well, thank you, Kanye. But I disagree. Mark's is really badass! Aliens doesn't need a 3D conversion, but one for T2 would actually make sense to do and I'd definitely pay to see that.

@SpaceCowboy has the best avatar image on this site @mcleve02. Also, I'd love to see re-releases of T1 and T2 @felipe-11 How about a 3D re-release of Aliens?

@skywise Me too. I cannot wait for this movie to get its own individual Blu-ray release, as well as the second and third movie.

@SpaceCowboy Speaking of Terminator, how awesome would re-release for T1 and T2 be?
@2movieguys $25? Where the hell are you going man? 2D IMAX tickets are like $16 at AMC, and some theaters are showing a non-IMAX version which should cost no more than $12...

@brady1138 What was wrong with the 4th one... I thought it was the best yet... And Batman and Robin was the greatest Batman film, episodes 1-3 were the best Star Wars... You crazy man... ;)

Yes! Good to know they're expanding to reach more audiences, because this is one of those film series that just HAS to be seen by everyone (minus the 4th one).
