I was surprised that the movie "About a Boy" is only opening at one theatre in my area, the Regal Hollywood 18. We have three theatres in Huntsville, two of which are showing Star Wars II. Typically, between the Regal Madison Square 12 and Carmike 10, everything shown at the Regal Hollywood 18 is shown at these two theatres, plus more, since Madison Square 12 and Carmike 10 do not show the same movies. Neither of the two 8-screen Decatur, AL theatres are getting "About a Boy", either. Since this movie got good reviews, I can't imagine why one of the theatres not showing "Star Wars II" didn't pick it up. I really don't want to see it at Hollywood 18 since they only have 6 screens capable of showing "scope" without cropping it to 1.85:1 (they'll have Star Wars II and Spiderman playing in all those large ones) and it seems my only other alternative is to go to Nashville or Birmingham. (Florence isn't getting it anywhere either). Is "About a Boy" just not expected to do as well as all of the old movies the theatres have been running, so it isn't opening anywhere except the largest cities? ------------------ Evans A Criswell Huntsville-Decatur Movie Theatre Information Site
