As some states begin to partially reopen their economies amid a novel coronavirus pandemic, Screen Media's Afghanistan war film The Outpost is planning a brief theatrical run on about 500 screens starting on July 2.
On Friday, Fathom Events, owned by AMC Entertainment Inc., Cinemark and Regal Cinemas, said that it would distribute the Scott Eastwood and Orlando Bloom film nationwide for a weeklong run in theaters. "As we lead into Independence Day weekend, we are honored to partner with Screen Media again, with this being the first of many first-run films on our calendar," said Fathom Events CEO Ray Nutt. "Screen Media realizes the value and importance of the theatrical experience as much as we do, so it’s a partnership we look forward to.
