Geek Deal: Free Screenings Of Danny Boyle's Slumdog Millionaire
Fox Searchlight has mastered the art of releasing small art house films. They understand that it is important to build good word of mouth as they slowly expand into more and more markets. And one of the ways they do this (aside from having great films) is by holding nationwide free screenings. They did it with Napoleon Dynamite. They did it with Little Miss Sunshine. And the release of Danny Boyle's Slumdog Millionaire is no different. /Film eader Mitch pointed me towards a listing of 44 screenings which will take place throughout November, leading all the way up to Christmas. RSVP now for your chance to attend.
PLEASE READ THIS FIRST: If you don't RSVP on the Fox Searchlight website, you will not get in. If it says SOLD OUT, do not show up at the theater hoping to get in, because you won't. And even if you do RSVP on their website, it does not guarantee a seat. They overbook these screenings to ensure a packed house. Promotional screenings are on a first-come, first-served basis and not guaranteed seating. Seating is limited to theater capacity. My advice is if you are lucky enough to be one of the thousands of people to get a free ticket, show up AT LEAST one hour early, if not more, to ensure you get a seat.
If you're wondering when Slumdog Millionaire is opening in a city near you, please consult the roll-out release listing in our previous trailer posting.
