It is only showing on screen 1 of the three screen Art Cinema here - the 15
screens of the two main chain cinemas here are full of 'Unbreakable' and the
'Grinch' etc.
The Art cinema was built and lavishly appointed with the latest projection
gear and Dolby Digital sound three or so years back by the city council, who
then found they couldn't afford to run it! So it remained unopened to the
public for 2 years or so until they worked out a deal with a chain of Art
cinemas to run it commercially, and it opened about six months ago.
