Yay!
Columbus! It's actually my area! Decent theater with lighting and a parking garage.
Now whether I make time to go see it and IF it's a good time, that's a different story!
(I could see myself skipping simply because of the Blu ray release looming sooner rather than later next year.)
The days of Cleveland being the only place in the state to have this kind of showing are finally over...
Nothing against Cleveland, btw. It's just not my sector of the state and I don't care to drive long distances just to see a movie!
This will be about the fifth or sixth anime feature I've actually caught in the area since I've lived here.
About time we got more showings!

Probably only one day, one time.
That's the way it works with most theatrical anime screenings that aren't movies distributed by Disney...
Sad, but true. Only the Studio Ghibli/Miyazaki films will get decent distribution and even then it's a lot less than Big-Budget Hollywood.
Even Disney's cut back a bit on those I think... Ponyo probably got the largest rollout of the Ghibli releases they've done States-wide.
I can remember having to see Howl's Moving Castle at an art theater next to downtown Columbus in a village called Bexley. The good thing about their exhibition is that they had BOTH the dubbed and subbed versions of Howl's Moving Castle (and I watched both -- the only time I've done that for a theatrical feature). I don't even recall seeing advertising for the sub of Ponyo. I think they only carried the dubbed version locally, and that got carried locally at more convenient movie theater locations -- at least in my area.
You have to make time and see the films when they're there because they don't stick around after that one second.

Sweet. Just down the street from me in Fairfax. I'll have to collect some friends and get on that.

They didn't use Tugg for Eva. They partnered with Eleven Arts like they usually do, and EL, for the most part, always starts off with the same theater lineup before occasionally adding requested locations from Eventful. |
I think what they mean is that they thought funi would take notice of how many anime fans used Tug for Nebraska, and use it as a tool to estimate viewership.

That's really strange to have two theaters in the same part of metro Detroit showing it, but nothing in Atlanta or Chicago (I guess the latter will be road-tripping to Kalamazoo?)
Meanwhile, I'm still waiting to see if the Anohana movie plays within 300 miles of me. Not counting on it.

I don't understand why they skip Chicago so frequently. Isn't ACen the nation's third biggest convention?

I saw this movie just last weekend, the guys at Cinemex surprisingly did a few all day matinees at least in certain major movie theaters in Mexico City during February of all of the 3 reboot Eva movies and I saw all 3 in one haul subbed to spanish.
The 3.0 movie was such a complete sellout (people were standing in the aisles because the room was soo full) that they ended up opening another hour for the 3.0 movie in the last minute.
I guess they didn't expect the Eva movies to sell out so well, the cinema was full to the top during all 3 movies.
