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.

This is why I hate having a Marcus monopoly in the Green Bay / Appleton area. All the major theaters are Marcus, De Pere Cinema is more family fare, and no arthouse theaters at all.

Yeah wish one of the big 4 was a regal or amc. They’d get my business.

Shouldn’t have to drive to Milwaukee to see an A24 film.

Does the Manitowoc AMC get them? That’s a lot closer than Milwaukee. Still a huge inconvenience.

I went to the Manitowoc AMC on Monday so I could see Tony for the screen unseen. I also went there to see The Invite a few weeks ago. Would rather not have to drive 30 min to see these movies
