Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.With the sequel boom, cinemas are anxious to capitalize on the fever for certain "event films" such as the romance-comedy, Sex & the City 2, and the vampire drama, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.
With tickets for Sex & the City 2 on sale six weeks prior to the film's release May 27, and selling out, some cinemas have scheduled a double-bill, playing both the original film and the sequel together. Last weekend Sex & the City was selling 37% of the advance tickets.
On June 30, AMC Theaters have programmed the "Twilight Experience" at select theaters, featuring a triple-bill of the new film and the last all three films - Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse. For $30, moviegoers will get to screen a triple-bill, plus extras, including a $10 gift card.
The event begins at 6:30 pm, on June 29, with the latest film in the series, Eclipse showing at 12:01 am, June 30.
Depending on how successful these upcoming events are, this may be the beginning of a trend, with more films showing the original version with the sequels.
