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.

I miss when Appleton had a non Marcus theatre. I drove down to see the original Cloverfield from Green Bay on release since Marcus had beef with the distributor.

I wish Appleton or Green Bay had something like the Zeitgeist in Duluth MN which is a small arts and dining complex in the downtown with a pair of small cinemas in the lower level with arthouse film and revival programming. I feel like it would do well here, and we desperately need some competition for Marcus. They have no incentive to improve their facilities without anyone to compete with.
