Hey movie fans! First things first — thank you so much for coming out this Memorial Day weekend. It means a lot to us that you chose to spend part of your holiday with us, and we hope everyone had a safe and wonderful long weekend!
We do want to be upfront about something — because of the holiday, we weren't able to finalize next week's lineup until today, so we appreciate your patience as we get everything sorted out. We also made a big switch this week to a new point of sale system, and we're excited to share that a new rewards program is coming your way soon. More details on that as we get closer!
On to the movies — The Mandalorian & Grogu and Obsession have been our standout titles this weekend. I actually got to see both, and I have to say I really enjoyed them. Mandalorian & Grogu picks right up where the TV show left off and genuinely feels like one of many adventures ahead for Mando and Grogu — if you're a fan of the series, you'll feel right at home. Obsession had an impressive second week, actually doing better than its opening weekend, which says a lot. Passenger also opened this week and is holding its own — it's a horror film with some real depth to it. If you like your horror with actual lore and explanations behind what's happening rather than just scares, this one might be right up your alley.
A few titles are wrapping up their runs this week — Mortal Kombat II, The Devil Wears Prada 2, and Project Hail Mary are all coming down. Project Hail Mary in particular has had a remarkably long run by today's standards, so if you still haven't caught any of those titles, tomorrow is going to be the last day.
As always, thank you for your support — head over to www.great8cinema.com for showtimes and tickets, and we hope to see you soon! Watch out for the release of Backrooms, and The Breadwinner this week!
