Screening Report 12/24/25
Happy holidays!
Hello, and welcome to this week’s screening report! I’m on holiday, so I’ll keep my update quick. I have confirmation that the Marcus HFR screenings of Avatar: Fire & Ash are properly being projected in the high frame rate presentation. Marty Supreme is probably the big movie of the weekend for the cinephile crowd. No Other Choice, while being advertised as “Christmas” and releasing in some theaters this weekend, will be coming later to Madison in January. On the weekend of the 8th, we’ll see the Madison release of Jim Jarmusch’s Father Mother Sister Brother, Bradley Cooper’s Is This Thing On?, ape horror film Primate, and postapocalyptic sequel Greenland 2: Migration.

“Watching “Marty Supreme,” written by Safdie and longtime collaborator Ron Bronstein, is exhilarating entertainment, keeping us off-balance and riveted as we want to see if Marty will make it or not. And, to our complete amazement, finding ourselves on his side throughout.” - Rob Thomas
