George A. Romero’s ‘DAWN OF THE DEAD’ Updates Theater Listings for 45th Anniversary
Coming to theaters, drive-ins, and malls across North America in April-May, including at the Monroeville Mall!
The 45th anniversary of George Romero’s all-time stunner.
Until recently, it was out of print on home video, not available on streaming services, and it almost never – and we mean NEVER – screens in theaters. That’s why we’re so excited to bring the gut-chomping, genre-defining masterpiece DAWN OF THE DEAD back to our screens.
DAWN OF THE DEAD isn’t just one of those “important” movies – it’s also a damned entertaining, exhilarating, and terrifying motion picture experience, even more than 40 years after its initial release. Set in the same world as, but not a sequel to, NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, DAWN begins as the world falls to the armies of the dead. A quartet of characters escape the collapse of civilization and hole up in a mall where they temporarily find peace. But when the outside world comes knocking on the mall’s glass doors, all hell breaks loose in a bloody, gutsy climax.
Sly and witty, DAWN never slows down to pound its points into your head, but the depiction of zombies shuffling around a mall has become an iconic image of splattery satire.
New Amsterdam Entertainment Inc.® is proud to announce George A. Romero’s ‘Dawn of the Dead’ will be celebrating the 45th Anniversary of its North American debut with a blow-out celebration event! The definitive zombie classic returns to both Theatres and Drive-Ins for screenings across the U.S. and Canada from April-May, 2024, with very special official anniversary collectables coming from FRIGHT-RAGS and ISH! The previously announced big-screen return has updated and revised the listings, which can be found at THIS LOCATION.
With special assistance from United Drive-In Theatre Owners Association, for the first time in decades, many fans will be able to watch ‘Dawn of the Dead’ under the stars at several ozoners like the classic Midway Drive-In in Sterling, IL, and at a special Exhumed Films event at the world famous Mahoning Drive-In in Lehighton, PA!
The mighty Alamo Drafthouse will be fulfilling thousands of audience requests by unleashing it into 34 of their cinemas across the country and die-hard fans will finally be able to again watch the movie in its premiere city of Pittsburgh, this time at the Row House Theatre! The film will be screened all across North America in historical venues including places like the Colonial Theater in Phoenixville, PA, where the original version of ‘The Blob’ was filmed in 1958!
Meanwhile, The Music Box Theatre in Chicago will present special single showings of both the 2-D and 3-D editions later in May! Stereoscopic fans will also be able to catch it in 3-D at the Galleria Mall in St. Louis, MO, where hopefully they won’t have to hunker down to survive a zombie apocalypse! St. Louis is not the only city that is taking the film back to its primary setting; through special arrangement, Cinemark Theatres will be exclusively presenting ‘Dawn of the Dead’ for One-Night-Only on Friday April 12th…at the MONROEVILLE MALL!
There’s no more room in Hell and the Dead are finally returning…to Canada!
It’s going to be a zombie-rollicking good time across the States, and Canada need not worry!
For horror fans up North, decades worth of scary prayers are about to be answered with big screen showings of the original theatrical edition, Romero’s official final Director’s Cut, at Independent Canadian Movie Houses and Festivals in 2-D as it first played in 1979. Plus, over 15 years after producer Richard P. Rubinstein first announced it was happening, on April 12th, the genuinely excellent 3-D conversion of George A. Romero’s ‘Dawn of the Dead’ will finally make its Canadian premier at the Cinéma Du Parc Theatre in Montreal
