On twitter some folks were wondering if any movie theaters are open, @myzuk tells us:
“Landmark E Street is. Just got off the phone with them.”
Anyone know of others open?

A reader reported just around 12:15pm:
“Just thought you might want to know, looks like people are already camping out in front of the Uptown.”
I couldn’t believe it but I remember when the Star Wars film came out in 1999 and I was living a few blocks away from the Uptown at that time and one night I came stumbling walking home around 3am and there was this massive line outside my building.

And then because I was young and a total jerk I charged somebody waiting in line $20 to use my bathroom. I’ve been wracked with guilt over that ever since. I feel better now, thank you. Anyway I digress.

The Last Waltz was a concert by the Canadian-American rock group the Band, held on American Thanksgiving Day, November 25, 1976, at Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco. Boundary Stone is located at 116 Rhode Island Ave, NW.
They now have a ticket booth! StillComing Soon but stay tuned:
“The Miracle Theatre is a second run movie theater and live performance venue in the heart of Capitol Hill.”

Folks are very excited about this – enjoy the new trailer.
I was able to get a sneak peek at a preview party last night and it is pretty swank. Some of the theaters were much smaller than I expected but damn the seats are posh.
For those who missed the earlier release:
“Landmark Theatres is proud to announce the opening of Washington DC’s newest movie theatre and lounge, Atlantic Plumbing Cinema. The premiere film will be STEVE JOBS, starring Michael Fassbender, Kate Winslet and Seth Rogen. It premieres Thursday, October 15 at 8 PM and will be featured on all 6 screens.”
