Does anyone know the running time of grindhouse with the intermission trailers. I'm supposed to be opening this movie next week and I couldn't find a running time on the film info board.

Its either 183 or 186 minutes, can't remember precisely.

Opening? This is still out in the theaters?

Goes sub-run next week.

Wow... this already is out of the sub runs here, I think... a few weeks ago a dollar theater had it and only 5 people showed up... I dont think it's there anymore.

Grindhouse was on 53 screens in the US this past weekend and took only $44k.

Going on that, I'd say most of these were dollar houses. [Eek!]

First run, and it's still one of our well-attended shows!

Thanks guys, i'm hoping this will actually do some business here. $1.50 for two movies is really not that bad of a deal. And of course i'm going to throw a real 15 minute intermission in there for good measure.
