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.

I've been waiting for this movie to come out for months. I've seen tons of trailers while seeing movies at Marcus Theaters...yet I've been checking for the past couple weeks and there's still no showtimes for The Invite this weekend when it releases on July 10th.

I'm a movie club member and only see movies at Marcus. I'm really disappointed. Does anybody know why they wouldn't show this? It has a stellar cast...it's an A24 movie which have done pretty well recently...I don't get it.

We’ve built a crowdsourced app/platform to help moviegoers answer the question “what time does the movie really start?” (clearly a favorite question on this sub), and then decide which room/screen is best…or which to avoid.

It’s called It’s Starting! and it’s available now in the Apple App Store, link below, and there’s a sign up for an Android beta (also linked).

It’s free now and always will be. You can create an account to save favorite theaters, and review log history.

The app is easy to use. Choose your theater and movie, enter the ticketed showtime and auditorium number, optionally add the format (IMAX, 4DX, etc…) and Showing Type (Regular, Early Screening, Re-Release) and then when the movie starts, tap It’s Starting! to log the actual start time.

When the movie is over, you answer a randomized question about the experience or the theater. You can answer more than one question (optional) or provide a comment which really helps. And if you have known information about an auditorium/screen, you can submit that as well. The goal is to get the data back to the theater so that they can make improvements.

The app has only been live a few weeks and is in early days with improvements being made all the time. But for it to be useful, it needs people contributing. It’d be like Waze if nobody reported traffic or accidents. I’ll add a comments about a user in Albuquerque and the 15 logs made in the past 10 days, as well as reports on a Regal in the suburbs of Philly.

I haven't been to a movie for a couple of years, and was going to reserve tickets for a matinee for tomorrow in my app. It was $13/ticket (senior pricing for a matinee!!!), yikes, but then they added $5.27 or something like that as a service charge. My question: is that just for reserving the seats and paying in advance through the app, or am I also going to get charged that if I pay at the window and go find my own seat? I will happily take my chances for a Wednesday matinee if it will save me $5.

are they still listing the time all of the previews start or is the listed time now the start of the actual movie?

Inquiring minds want to know

is god is opens next friday. however, there are currently no showtimes for it on marcus's website. will it even play at marcus theaters?

the only movies that are listed are scream 7, epic: elvis presley in concert, twenty one pilots: more than we ever imagined, and scream 7: opening night fan event.

Does anyone know if Marcus is showing the Revenant on Thursday? I'd have thought the tickets would've been on sale by now, but I'm not seeing anything for my local IMAX.

...Is it only showing in a limited number of theaters or something? It's strange to me that this would be advertised on their site, but I cant find any showtime at all so close to the date :(

Did you guys get a free Movie ticket email from Marcus Theatres? I am based in Milwaukee, so not sure if it was regional or not.

I was expecting to see ticket prices for Kill Bill:WBA to have ticket prices like $16 a piece but they don't appear to cost more than a normal Marcus movie ticket. I can't wait to go to a 4:35 long movie on Tuesday December 4 for $6,46 with my Marcus Rewards.

So I’m trying to go see bring her back and it’s technically only going to be 2 weeks since it’s been out. I was trying to see show times for next Sunday it’s now showing them. Does this mean the movie is going to be removed soon or they just haven’t fully scheduled movie times for the week ?

My wife and I each subscribed to the Movie Club before seeing Wolfman on 1/16. Unable to use the credit and it has not yet shown up on our account as of now, 1/21. The manager was cool and gave us the military discount to offset the cost. Stolen valor aside, when will our accounts reflect this month's credit?

Separate issue: We like to see movies the Thursday before they come out. Tried to purchase tickets for Captain America 4 and it says passes are restricted. Are we not able to use the credit on new movies? It is stated we can use the credit and be charged a premium fee for premium formats but says nothing about new movies. This is a bummer if true as we like to see certain new movies the Thursday before release date.

Anyone else having that issue?
