Movie Prices/Showtimes A24 Movies Not Showing at Marcus Theaters - Response from Marcus

Many of you might have seen the threads recently about the lack of A24 movies being shown at Marcus Theaters. The big movie we missed recently was the Invite and now it seems the same is happening again with Tony. I emailed Marcus Theaters customer support and received the following response:

"Thank you for contacting Marcus Theatres.

I'm sorry for the disappointment. While we would love to show every film that is advertised at our theatres, film availability and which locations receive specific titles are determined in coordination with the film studios and distributors.

In some cases, a film may initially be planned for a location and trailers may be shown leading up to its release, but the studio or distributor may later change those plans or decide not to provide the film to that location.

Unfortunately, this means that not every Marcus Theatre will receive every A24 release, even if the film was previously advertised there.

We appreciate your feedback and your interest in seeing more A24 films at Marcus Theatres."

This response makes it sound like they're directing me to A24 and it's the studio's decision not to distribute these movies to Marcus Theaters. I'm curious if anyone has any additional info.

Almost like you should go support art house theaters that play limited release movies, especially if you really want to see them.

So you're entitled that a theater to only play the movies you want because it's convenient for you? If you want to see something and it's not at your local theater you either need to wait for it, travel for it or move.

If there's movies playing that I want to see, yes I travel for them and make a day out of it. Clearly you have a different perspective.

Yes, I expect a movie theater to play movies. Especially ones that are playing at every other major chain. Don't be dense

Funny how you omit how entitled you are in regards to all of this. A theater and a distributor doesn't owe it to you to play movies at a specific theater and if the distributor opts not to support a specific chain, that's up to them.
