So, this is odd.

I want to see Spider-Man: No Way Home in theaters. I thought, I dunno, I might go this weekend (having just seen The Matrix Resurrections) so I'm looking for showtimes… but the only movie playing anywhere Friday (or after) is some movie I've never heard of called The 355 and literally nothing else... and it's the same at every theater/theater chain around me (Denver area). I did some searching and this seems to be the case nationwide. Anyone know what gives?


Edit: Would a mod kindly lock this? Thanks!

most theatres don't show the next weekend's schedule (other than premiering movies) until later in the week

The theaters are still deciding how many screens they want to give to 355 vs Spiderman so they arent booking anything yet. Usually by Wednesday they will have locked in the schedule and you can book tickets. They dont want to overbook 355 and then have to cancel screenings which only have 5 tickets sold to make another Spiderman screening, they would rather get it right before they sell tickets. If the showings they offer of 355 do well, they will add more. If not, those screens will be Spiderman. Think of it as a trial balloon to see how well 355 is going to do.

Gotcha; makes sense. It is only Monday.

Can I get a mod to lock this?

Is this like one of those anxiety dreams where you go to work in your underwear but instead you go to the cinema and only The 355 is playing?

FYI for everyone not in the know theaters schedules in the US usually update Wednesdays with some exceptions.
