“Licorice Pizza”: 27 locations defined for “pop-up” screenings added


[ad_1]

Ahead of its grand opening on December 25, the already popular feature film by Paul Thomas Anderson is rolling out in a number of new cities.

Don’t wait any longer for Christmas: this Saturday, 17 cities in the United States (plus one in Canada) will host a single “pop-up” screening of Paul Thomas Anderson’s latest film, “Licorice Pizza”. This new list of cities includes three that were already hosting sold-out screenings last Saturday. Tickets are on sale now, although likely to be phased out quickly.

These one-night-only engagements come on top of the film’s very successful initial dates – three in New York City, one in Los Angeles. This weekend, the film is only about a third lower than last weekend, indicating a very strong response to the coming-of-age film, especially since these opening numbers included Thursday night previews as well as a bank holiday. Nearly complete sales occurred on numerous dates, bringing in a gross amount of $ 223,000. (To show just how exceptional this is: two other specialty releases, “Wolf” (Focus) and “Benedetta” (IFC), had roughly the same turnover in 510 theaters.)

“Licorice Pizza” will expand nationwide on December 25, tentatively around 2,000 national theaters. While the delay of a full-scale release rather than a slow or early full-scale rollout has surprised some, Christmas week is a much better time to reach moviegoers, and the choice to keep its original dates supports the idea that interest remains strong. These limited projections, likely to sell out immediately, will only underscore this interest.

Alana Haim, the film’s lead actress, surprised customers in Austin, Texas on Saturday night by attending screenings there. Increasing the number of screenings nationwide may increase the chances of similar events elsewhere.
