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!

Important Announcement. Today will be the last day using our current point of sale software. We are transitioning to a new solution as of tomorrow. This includes a revamp of our website as well that tightly integrates with the new software. The website will appear slightly different going forward. Below are some additional changes or items we want to highlight for your awareness.

1) All prices now include tax going forward starting 5/21. So while it looks like prices might have changed slightly, this is really just to account for the fact that we are now including tax and simplifying to avoid confusion. Not having Pennies will no longer cause confusion with rounding up or down. All prices at this point either end in .00, .25, .50, or .75. Which should simplify cash transactions significantly.

2) All gift-cards that have been purchased will honored in the new system. You don't need to do anything just come in and present your gift-card like normal and it will all work. If we do run into any issues we still have access to the old system to validate the old card. We want it to be absolutely clear that we have a commitment to making sure all gift cards are honored.

3) Prices on 3rd party websites like Fandango, or AtomTickets as of this moment look slightly off. We are working with them to correct this.

4) Do keep in mind that 3rd party sites do also have a service charge which is not new. It will always be less expensive to buy online on our website then a 3rd party website unless that 3rd party is running some sort of promotion such as what AtomTickets does in partnership with Angel Studios. We do also have a service charge on our website, with our new system but we cut those fees in half if you signup for an account and login.

5) For those of you who have been using our reward system, you may have been noticing we haven't been promoting it much, but we still have been accruing rewards for those who previously signed up, and often those folks do use those rewards. We weren't actively pushing it because we had some technical problems with maintaining it. We will be rolling out a completely revamped rewards system based on the new software very soon. It will tie online purchases with in person purchases, and will be a lot more user friendly when understanding how your rewards are redeemed and a lot more clear on how your points tie to redemption.

5) This is more for the future, but be aware that our new system will be enabling capabilities we didn't previously have. In addition to the new rewards system mentioned, we will be adding a newsletter, and more information on our website about upcoming events as well as bulletins regarding special events. In the past few months we have been working closely with the new provider and we are really happy with their willingness to take our input regarding improvements and new features.

Folks, you knew it was coming. Probably wondered why you hadn't seen any news on this yet. This year our summer series is bigger and more accessible then ever. 15 Titles starting today. Normally we have just the weekday AM showtime, but we are going to have 4 showtimes for each title each week. So no matter what your schedule looks like we should have a time for you. Thanks to our sponsor for this event Sullivan Bank.

Employees got to see Obsession last night. Boy, it was intense. It plays off the "be careful what you wish for" troupe which is a simple premise, but is extremely well done. This is Inde Navarrette's very first movie released in theaters and multiple of us felt her performance was award worthy. If your a horror, thriller fan I'd suggest not missing this one.

Animal Farm the latest from Angel studios which releases this week is running another BOGO!

Rated PG. Recommended for Ages 11+. A satirical allegory of revolution and power, Animal Farm traces how a movement for equality is systematically corrupted. As the pigs consolidate control, truth is erased, dissent is crushed, and the farm descends into a ruthless dictatorship—fulfilling Orwell’s warning about the dangers of communism.
