PRE HOLIDAY WEEKEND FIRST: Weekly Movie Comings and Goings
 
By Tony Rutherford
Huntingtonnews.net Entertainment Editor
 
Huntington, WV (HNN) – This is a pre-holiday and Holiday weekend complicated Weekend First.
 
Due to the Thanksgiving holiday, new releases debut on WEDNESDAY, NOV 24, rather than FRIDAY NOV 26. That means older films have their last theatrical showings on Tuesday Nov. 23, not Thursday, Nov. 25.
 
Besides time changes to abbreviated schedules (i.e. one to three showings daily, not four to six), movies on multiple screens ALSO are rescheduled. For instance, “Unstoppable” , which some megaplexes have now on two screens with eight or nine daily choices, may drop to four or five on Wednesday, Nov. 24. The older 3-D films are also likely candidates for some time alterations particularly in theatres that have only one or two 3-D auditoriums.
 
THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT HARRY
 
Yes, he’s selling out rapidly with people purchasing advance tickets for the most popular times i.e. Friday and Saturday nights. If you have only ONE day to go and you want to see it THIS WEEKEND, unless you have a megaplex with two to four prints, expect crowds and sell outs. Purchase tickets on line to avoid disappointments.
 
The Weekend First links after each theatre go to the main sites. From there, you can click on the movie of your choice and see what is or is not SOLD OUT.
 
THURSDAY MIDNIGHT
 
Advance tickets are now on sale for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part One, which will have an advance premiere Thursday , Nov. 18 at 12 midnight at nearly all megaplexes. Yes, the wizard will sell out. However, Marquee Pullman, for example, has it in MULTIPLE AUDITORIUMS.
 
Meanwhile, this week’s openings are: The Next Three Days and Heartbreaker.
 
WEDNESDAY NOV 24
 
Four new movies are available to open wide (not all films in all locations; check schedules). The flicks include:
 
BURLESQUE: Cher, Christina Aguilera and Alan Cumming star in this story of a small-town girl from Iowa bringing new life into an aging burlesque club/theatre. When Ali steps on stage, she’s soon the star attraction of the revue.
 
FASTER: An ex-con sets out to avenge his brother’s death during a heist years ago. But on his tail are a veteran cop and a egocentric hit man.
 
LOVE AND OTHER DRUGS: Jake Gyllenhaal and Anna Hathaway star as an alluring free spirit matched with a man of infallible charm. He’s a pharmaceutical sales person and the couple’s relationship evolves by surprise; they are under the influence of a powerful drug - LOVE.
 
TANGLED IN DISNEY 3D: Princess Rapunzel spent her entire life in a tower, but when she falls for a bandit, she’s going to have to venture into the outside world.
 
EXTRA MATINEES
 
During the Thanksgiving period, school is out and shopping and movie going are up. Look for more matinee and morning shows scheduled. Some theatres that normally show matinees only on Sat/Sun will have DAILY matinees.
 

 
MAINSTREAM: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1; Next Three Days
 
LIMITED: Heartbreaker; Get Low (Cinema Theatre);
 
FLASHBACK MONDAY: Flashback Monday returns having added a Sunday afternoon showing at the Downtown Discount Huntington’s Cinema 4, 1025 Fourth Avenue. (Nov 21-22); “Willy Wonka,” (Nov 28-29); “Clockwork Orange;” (Dec 5 & 6); “Blazing Saddles” (Dec. 12 & 13) ; “White Christmas” (Dec 19 & 20) and “Back to the Future,” (Dec 26 & Dec 27). Shows at 4 p.m. Sundays and at 4 & 7 p.m. on Mondays.
 
SPECIAL EVENTS: None
 
ADVANCE SCREENINGS: Thursday night advance screenings of “Harry Potter.”
 
BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ…. The word is 3-D. They will be coming at you almost one per week, so get those glasses and extra dollars ready. Expect quick in/outs and time shuffling for any title that fares badly.
 
HEAD UP, ENDS SOON WARNINGS* With four Wednesday, Nov. 24 openings, you had better catch all the “older” flicks fast. Although specific schedules have not yet been announced, here’s a clue --- If a movie is running on a split i.e. abbreviated schedule of one, two or three shows daily, instead of five or six showings, then, those flicks are very likely to be the next to end their run when new releases come on screen. The 3D schedule will remain tight and grow tighter in the Nov/December months arrive. It’s November , so “ending” anything is fair game. Pay attention to films with “split” schedules i.e. one or two showings daily. They will be GONE the next week.
