What's next?

Whenever we have a great movie, lots of people ask us what's coming up next. This is great for us because it lets us know that people enjoyed their movie experience and look forward to another one.

This time we're not sure exactly what's coming next because we don't know for sure how long Batman will be with us. He's booked through the 31st for sure, but depending on the size of the crowds, we may keep the Bat flying a third week. If we do, it's possible but not definite that we'll play another movie along with The Dark Knight. Watch our website for details.

Here's a short list of guesses as to movies we'll be playing in the month of August. All of it subject to change, of course.
  • Hancock
  • The Incredible Hulk (maybe)
  • Mamma Mia
  • Get Smart
  • Hellboy II

Again, watch our website (which is updated every Thursday night and sometimes even more often) for our best estimates on when these and other movies will play.

The Dark Knight is filling quite a few seats...


Seems like every cinema in the country is selling out shows for The Dark Knight, the new Batman movie with Christian Bale and Heath Ledger. But the Roxy has had seats available for every show. What gives?


Well, we've had just a tad bit of competition, namely the Rosebud-Treasure County Fair, which draws just about everyone in the county and beyond. They ramped up the action this year, with not one but TWO big concerts - Sawyer Brown, and Charley Pride. And of course the demolition derby on Sunday is always good for softening the crowds at the ol' movie palace.


Not to worry though -- actually it makes things a little better for us, because it tends to spread the movie crowds out a bit. We look for our Dark Knight numbers to improve this weekend, which will please the film's distributor. However, it could make things a little busier than is normal for the second week of a major film. To make sure you get the seat you want, we suggest you arrive at least 20 minutes before show time (which, by the way, is 7:00 every night this week).
