Will the movie amazing grace ever come to quincy ill?//?

The first thing you have to remember about the movie industry is not all movies are intended for the masses. The vast majority of movies released every year start in very limited release - like New York and LA only and never expand to a wider release. Then there are about 100-150 movies every year that open in most areas at the same time - known as a wide release. And then there are about 25-50 movies a year that start out in a moderate number of markets and then expand to more areas if they do well enough.





Amazing Grace opened in 791 theatres which is about on par with the opening of Borat and Marie Antoinette from last year. It's opening weekend total of $4 million with an average of $5,125 per theatre is respectable and may justify the movie adding another 300-500 theatres in a week or two.





Looking at Yahoo Movies, it appears Quincy is a moderate size community with about 9 movie screens but they seem to focus mainly on the newest wide releases. My guess is you may not see Amazing Grace there but if you do, it might take a few weeks after it stops playing at theatres in other cities.





Also keep in mind that this March and April the studios are flooding the market with new movies and it's going to be difficult for smaller theatres to keep up with just the newest releases every week - let alone trying to make up on movies they missed.





If you have a theatre near by that specializes in smaller films or art films, you might ask them if they will be opening Amazing Grace.





I manage a 5 screen movie theatre in Northern California and I answer this question many times each week. In fact, I had a number of people ask about Amazing Grace this past weekend.Will the movie amazing grace ever come to quincy ill?//?
I do not know much about the Quincy area but from what I found out from looking to see what theaters are in you area, this theater company seems to own at least two of the theaters there. It does not show it coming tomorrow but it may be in a theater that is close by. Here is the link. :)








By the way~ Great soundtrack, I waiting for the score to come out.
