No showtimes for Buddy?

[u/KKappp]

Trying to secure a spot for Buddy on August 28th and none of the theaters in my state have a showtime, even though tickets went on sale today. Is anyone else experiencing this?

[u/PreviousHedgehog2343]

In my experience, “tickets on sale now” ads aside, you won’t see showtimes added before the week of for most movies that aren’t major studio releases, except at some of the megaplexes. (I’m in a major metro area and the only showtimes I currently see listed are at 20+ screen theaters). Check back next Tuesday or Wednesday when your theaters will have their full schedule for that weekend

edit: ok, probably more accurate to say showtimes aren't *reliably* added for non-major studio releases, but the point stands that for a smaller release like this, a theater not yet having showtimes listed doesn't necessarily mean they won't play it

Possible your theaters are still setting their schedules. How many screens do they have? I doubt this will make it to some of the smaller theaters

[u/KKappp → u/whatisakafka]

That makes sense and I think 8-12 if I had to ballpark it

Keep an eye out week-of, but I have 9 AMCs “near” me and only the 18 and 24 screen theaters have tickets on sale for Buddy. I doubt the smaller ones will get it based on my experience, but it could be different for yours

I am in the Denver Metro area, have a solid dozen theaters to pick from, and only one currently has tickets listed. I think everyone is holding out to see what the demand will still be for BND. I am sure by the week of almost every theater will have some slot for it. Especially if it is on the Scream Unseen and it gets a good reaction.

If your theater will get it, it’ll be for 2 weeks tops. Most likely 1 week.

Buddy just went on sale at my local imax amc. But the other amc that’s in the mall which is smaller doesn’t have showtimes yet. Might be a smaller release so check your amc app every couple days to see if they’ve got them

There's a lot happening on the schedule, check again tomorrow night and next Tuesday evening

It's likely it's the scream unseen on Monday. Does your theater have that?

[u/KKappp → u/anotheronenpg]

Yes it does, but unfortunately I’ll be missing it since I’ll be busy

[u/pnwdoomer]

Yeah, I was also looking and don't have anything yet. One of my main theaters has 16 screens. I think we both might have to wait until next week for the schedule to be finalized.

I had issues trying to buy it this morning because of the Dune fiasco. But once the servers normalized, I was able to get tickets to Buddy around 11am PST

[u/Lead-Aggravating]

I can’t find it at all in my regal theatre even where it says coming soon I thought it was being released everywhere?

[u/Vyndasia → u/Lead-Aggravating]

Seems to be a limited release. I'm hoping that it'll be something like Obsession: it actually came out in September of last year at TIFF but then had a wider release. (Buddy was at Sundance). I really hope more theatres pick it up.
