Call To get Sicko in Iowa

By Rapid Response

Two items:
 
(1) There was an article in the IC Press-Citizen the other day that the local theatre managers had reported receiving only "a few" calls about SICKO.  Are we going to stand for having to go to Cedar Rapids to see SICKO?  Or be relegated to the last ones to see it by the time they bring it to Iowa City?   Or have to watch it online?  How ridiculous is this?  Is this Iowa City, last bastion of Iowa's liberals, Iowa's progressive activist pride and joy?  No outcry, no  nothing?
 
Let's get to work!  Please call or write and pass this on. Thanks.  Trish and Ellen

I read online that there are only 11 movies showing on 22 screens in our area, yet Marcus is saying they don't have enough screen space.  
 
Petrick said Marcus, which owns or operates 500 screens in the Midwest, will focus right now on larger blockbusters such as "Transformers," "Ratatouille" and "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix."
 
"When additional prints become available and when we have play time available, we anticipate that Marcus Theatres will play 'Sicko,' just as we've played other Michael Moore films," he said.
