Following the sold-out opening night screening of George A. Romero’s 1978 film “Dawn of the Dead” in 3-D at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City earlier this year, New Amsterdam Entertainment Inc. has partnered with Regal to bring this dazzling 3-D conversion of the cult-classic to the rest of the country over the 4-day Halloween weekend – Friday, October 28 through Halloween night, Monday, October 31.
This presentation of “Dawn of the Dead” features the original uncut 1979 U.S. theatrical release version of the film, adapted to 3-D format under the frame-by-frame supervision of the film’s original producer, Richard P. Rubinstein. George A. Romero’s original editing remains untouched.
The movie is unavailable on any streaming platform or cable and has been out-of-print on DVD and BluRay in the U.S. for over a decade. As a result, it is estimated that 75% of the fans of this cult classic have never had a chance to see George A. Romero’s Dawn of the Dead on a big screen in a theatre, let alone in 3-D.
Regal will feature Dawn of the Dead in 3-D screenings at 250 theatres from October 28 through October 31. With a minimum of 6 shows playing over four days in 250 theatres nationwide, every horror movie buff from coast to coast will finally get a chance to see Dawn of the Dead in 3-D! For a list of participating locations and to purchase tickets to this exclusive event, please visit the Regal mobile app or REGmovies.com.
