No "Sicko" in Johnson County This Week

If you have been eagerly awaiting the release of Michael Moore's SICKO in Johnson County, you'll have to keep waiting or travel to Davenport to the Showcase Cinema on 53rd St. or to Des Moines to the Fleur Cinema. It opens on 441 screens across the nation and only two of them are in Iowa.

As a shop local kind of guy, I will be glad to wait for it and enjoy jazz this weekend.

I've sent an e-mail to Marcus Theatres and will post their response (for the record, Marcus is showing Sicko in only one of their 67 theaters in Illinois, Iowa, North Dakota, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin this week--so if you happen to be in Madison, WI this weekend, you can also check it out there.

Update: From Marcus Theaters

Thank you for your inquiry. Initially the film Sicko was scheduled to open
in most of our locations starting on June 29th. Unfortunately, Lion's Gate
has decided to scale back on the number of release locations and at this
point we have only been granted one print to play specifically for Madison
at the Eastgate cinemas. We are actively seeking additional placements for
the following weeks. Please keep watching www.marcustheatres.com for
additional locations to be added.

Thank you,
