Thank you! I couldn't find anywhere where they had the theaters.

I bow before the mighty graemlins/king2.gif Of course that's today in my cowtown. It only had the date for one theater though not the closer one I hope I can sqeeze it in today. Thank you ever so much for your always wonderful research tho. We love you!

[SF4-EVER]

Thanks, Rob! I just wish they had more information up for some of the smaller venues. Guess I'll have to get dates and show times directly.

[sourmilkpinky]

Thanks again Rob! Oct. 3rd at the closest theater to me. Still don't know the time but I'll be there!

any other Denver/metro people planning on going?

I guess there aren't any showing in Canada, is there? Oh well, I'll just have to wait for the DVD.
Can't wait for your report, Hari's Chick! images/icons/smile.gif

[jtal909]

cool, there's one near me.

[bearkat77]

graemlins/scream3.gif This isn't fair. They don't even have a listing for it to be shown in Louisiana. graemlins/scream2.gif

[braddale]

Would anyone have any info. on when it would be coming to Toronto Canada?

[Rellevart]

I don't know about the other cities, but in Chicago at least, it's not a one-off showing. It's showing at the theatre in my area 5 times a day from Friday through at least next Wednesday, so I'll be able to make it to ONE of those times, I'm sure. images/icons/smile.gif

[ABCKO]

Once again...

Someone somewhere, asummed that North America = U.S.A. only...

[FPSHOT]

Ah, that's Canada, right graemlins/wink1.gif

[joenamherst]

I didn't expect it to come to my area (Buffalo NY) because we are always the last to get anything worth seeing. However, I live an hour and a half away from Toronto and was shocked that it is not playing there. Usually I have to go to Toronto to see the good concerts,Sir Paul, CSN&Y, Simon & Garfunkel.... There is an article in todays USA Today about the movie. Since I have web-tv I cannot post the article. It is at:
usatoday.com/life/music/news/2003-10-01-george_x.htm There is also a small article about 'The Lennon Legend' dvd and book,being released Nov.18 and Nov.3 respectively.

You read my mind, FPSHOT, thanks so much!

But where's the dates and times???? Sure, states on are there twice. Dumb.

I'm confused by the list...I don't see any screenings on it for later than today, October 2. As far as I know it's playing in three theatres here in New York City, but I wonder for how long...we can't get a babysitter this weekend and I sure hope it'll be around next weekend so we can go...

Where are people getting info about screenings later than today?

That's how I found when it's playing at the theater closest to me. I know the theater I plan to see it at is running it at least through October 9. (Humm, that date strikes a chord for some odd reason.... images/icons/wink.gif )
