I appreciate what they're doing, but it's only going to play at 5 cinemas across the entire country, right? Why not tie it in to their museum and collaborate with a local cinema to play several movies over the course of a month or so?
If I were going to the museum it would be quite fitting to end the day watching one of their best flicks on the big screen.
