The Baz Luhrmann film stars Austin Butler and Tom Hanks and explores the life and music of Elvis Presley through his complicated relationship with his enigmatic manager, Col. Tom Parker. “Elvis” will be released in U.S. theaters on June 24.
“‘The King’ is likely the most famous singer to have served our Nation, so this free screening should be especially meaningful,” said the Exchange’s Director/CEO Tom Shull. “It is truly an honor to partner with Hollywood’s biggest movie studios to bring exclusive advanced showings like this to the communities the Exchange is honored to serve.”
This is the second free screening of a major motion picture at Reel Time Theaters this year, after the Channing Tatum movie “Dog” in February.
Moviegoers can follow their local Exchange’s Facebook page for more information on “Elvis” show times and ticket reservations.
