This section lists the Main At- tractions that we intend to play. This list is only an educated guess, though, since film release plans often change. (Ad- ditional unlisted films will also become available.) Scheduling our Main Attractions is week- to-week. On Monday, we decide what main films will play starting that Friday. On Tuesday and Wednesday, we set the showtimes for the upcoming week and then update our website and telephone hotline. We also send out a weekly email (which you can receive by signing up at our website). Sometimes, we book a main film a few weeks in advance, which we post on our website’s “Coming Attrac- tions” section.
