Just a note: July 28 - 30 is the yearly Bele Chere festival in downtown Asheville. The Fine Arts Theatre will be closed during the festival.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but we've learned that when a couple hundred thousand people cram into downtown Asheville for the festival...not many of them want to come see any movies.
Enjoy the festival!
There seems to be some confusion concerning our opening of the upcoming film Peaceful Warrior. According to the Lions Gate website, they have us down as opening the film on July 21. THIS IS INCORRECT.
We are not certain yet as to what date we will be opening the film but it is currently looking like we will be getting it on August 4. This date is only TENATIVE and could possibly change. So keep checking back here for more info.
We apologize for any confusion that may have been caused by Lions Gate's website. We have tried time and time again to get them to change the incorrect information on their site, but our pleas continually fall on deaf ears.
Thanks for your patience.
