Thanksgiving Weekend: GLADIATOR 2 at Cinemark Stoneridge + Cap City!

UPDATE: Details for this event have been changed and our revised plan is officially confirmed! Despite a stellar cast, great reviews, some solid Oscar buzz, the Drexel isn’t picking up this follow-up to the Best Picture-winning original! (They’re inexplicably going with MOANA 2 instead.) So, we’ll pivot the location, but keep the plan the same and maybe even kick things up a notch! New plan: A Bite Before the Show at the GAHANNA CAP CITY at 2:00pm! For the movie, we’ll see the 4:05pm showing of GLADIATOR 2 at Cinemark Stoneridge and will meet inside the theater lobby around 3:45pm! Tickets on sale now ($9.50 adult/$7.00 senior) and advance ticket purchase as soon as possible is advised! You’ll find complete details in the announcement below!

*************************************************************

Join us as we get together to see Pedro Pascal, Paul Mescal, Denzel Washington and Connie Nielsen in the epic action-adventure, GLADIATOR 2! The film is a sequel to the Best Picture-winning 2000 original and takes place two decades later. Here are details, a trailer and our plan for this event:

DESCRIPTION: After his home is conquered by the tyrannical emperors who now lead Rome, Lucius is forced to enter the Colosseum and must look to his past to find strength to return the glory of Rome to its people. Ridley Scott returns to direct and the film stars Paul Mescal, Pedro Pascal, Connie Nielsen, and Denzel Washington.

EARLY BUZZ/REVIEWS: Buzz has been strong with critics at early screenings calling the film a “true epic” and “one of the best films of the year!" It’s even earning a bit of Oscar buzz! Paul Mesal “shines” and Denzel Washington delivers a “scene-stealing performance” in Ridley Scott’s “best film since The Martian!”

BITE BEFORE THE SHOW: We’ll celebrate the holiday weekend together with a pre-show bite at a nearby group favorite, CAP CITY! Our reservation is at 2:00pm. Seating is limited so please indicate when you RSVP if you plan to join us for the restaurant portion of the event!

MOVIE PLAN: Purchase your ticket for the 4:05pm showing and meet inside the theater lobby at 3:45pm! Advance ticket purchase ($9.50 adult/$7.00 senior) is advised! Once you have yours, please list your seat number in the Comments below.

Happy Thanksgiving and look forward to seeing you there, Dan
