One of my favorite Holiday traditions is to take a weekday off from work and go see 2-3 movies in theaters with my wife. I sure hope we can do it again next year.

Im so happy they are coming back but im still on the fence about what they are going to play...i would go to see Invisible Man, Busan 2 and Akira, which it seems they are going to show....then wait for Godzilla vs Kong.
