:excited: I was checking movie times a few minutes ago, and there is a 10am showing of Muppets From Space in the theatre near me in Coral Springs, FL. I was wondering what caused this wonderful treat?! Is it playing everywhere? 'Swonderful!

Might be part of some summer thing. During the summer a few years ago, if you brought in a book report, you get to see a movie.

Interesting. It's the first time I have heard of it. Sadly, if this was shown across the country at 10 am in theaters during the summer, more people could see it than the first time. :eek:

It sounds like an isolated viewing though. So do they show it every day? Have you seen it yet? It's always nice to see a Muppet movie on the big screen.

I agree, while this is a free children's movie program some theatres visit, seeing the Muppets on the big screen rocks...its only happened 4 times for me: 1985: MTM 1996: MTI and 1999: MFS and AOEIG

I've heard that if a movie theatre agrees to hire an older movie like a muppet movie, they can show it in their theatre so theres a possibility of seeing muppet movies in theatres and theres even some around that you can pay a large amount of money to see any movie!

Not here either! theres not much chance of that happening here but maybe in a small theatre that sometimes shows older movies.

Saw MFS in theatres just now...here's the skinny

It is indeed a summer program for youth. The movie is free and played yesterday and today at 10am and they didn't turn me and a friend away, and we're 25. Next week they're playing Muppets Take Manhattan, the week after it's Care Bears, then Elmo in Grouchland, and I think that's all the Henson films scheduled. It was very nice to see Muppets From Space this morning on the big screen; can't wait for next week--MTM is my fav next to Labyrinth which I'm dying to see on the big screen--anyone got connections to put it on an IMAX screen?!

In the summer, some movie theathers such as AMC offer older children films during the morning for a cheaper fee.
