hitting cinemas simultaneously in April 2028

So, one month before The Resurrection of the Christ: Part Two, which will finally answer the question: are The Beatles bigger than Jesus???

    Do the Beatles still have enough fans under 60 to justify 4 films in theaters at once?

    Seems like a decent strategy as people will likely want to watch the others after watching one of them. Same goes for binging a whole new season of a show on any given streaming platform.

    See that’s the thing: this idea is tailor made for streaming. I can’t imagine too many people shelling out four theater tickets for this in the current economy. It’s an interesting premise from a film/art standpoint though.

    That aspect is a bit odd and I wonder how anything short of a megaplex is even going to be able to screen these four films on top of whatever else is out at the time. We do have a local independent theater that only charges $6-$8 per ticket and has two beers and a large popcorn for $20 so we go at least once or twice a month but they only have three theaters so this would probably be a no-go for them. I admittedly didn't read the article and assumed this would be available on streaming as well since it would be such a good fit.
