Update 2 (10\/25, 3pm): <\/strong>Crossgates has already added a second screen. Success can be such a chore. No doubt, this wont be the last addition.<\/p>\n

Update (10\/25, 2pm): <\/strong>Tickets have only been on sale for hours and already some screenings in New York City, and the 3D showing at Albany, Crossgates 18 have sold out. If more screenings are added, I’ll update again. The 2D at Crossgates is still available.<\/p>\n

Original article:<\/u><\/p>\n

Yep.
\nAnd it’s no surprise given the unprecedented success of the most recent Star Trek TNG <\/em>Fathom event, on April 25th, which sold out in theaters across the country.<\/a> The Star Trek <\/em>event featured a remastered two-part cliffhanger to coincide with the Season 3 Blu-ray release.<\/p>\n

Showtimes & Tickets.<\/a><\/b><\/div>\n
(on sale Fri. Oct 25th)<\/b><\/div>\n
Shot in 3D, The Day of The Doctor<\/i> celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Doctor Who series with a global simulcast, including 11 major-city US theaters, along with the BBC and BBCamerica television airings on Saturday, November 23rd, at 9pm. Another 300 theaters across the country (including Crossgates Regal 18) will participate in the encore showing on Monday, November 25th.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Airing during the regular series hiatus (a Christmas episode usually satiates die-hard fans during ‘the dark times’), TDOTD <\/em>features not only outgoing eleventh Doctor (Matt Smith) and enigmatic companion Clara (Jenna Coleman), but with the reappearance of the tenth Doctor (David Tennant) and Rose Tyler (Billie<\/div>\n

Piper), at least based on the movie poster, we can assume this 75 minute extended episode explains what John Hurt’s incarnation did that was so evil the Doctor refuses to refer to that former self as a Doctor at all. This showing will begin with specially shot introductions and conclude with a 10 minute making-of and cast interview featurette.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
Doctor Who has sponsored some Western Hemisphere promotions in the past, but this is the first theatrical promotion of such a large scale. That, and given the massive success of the Star Trek <\/em>event six months ago, it’s a fairly sure bet this will sell out, and early<\/em>. Based on past experience, if it does, Regal will be quick to expand the showing to additional screens as much as scheduling permits.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We’ll keep you posted.<\/div>\n
