BIG Mistake

One of our staff members shared a story this morning about an experience people had yesterday at one of the most popular local movie theaters here in Peoria. This theater is THE place to go to see movies around here. Everybody goes there... okay, probably not everybody, but you get the idea. This is a pretty popular place.

Evidently, a number of parents took their children to see Alvin & the Chipmunks (PG) yesterday afternoon. Expecting to see Dave Seville and his three little CGI chipmunks, they saw something completely different projected onto the screen - the first few minutes of American Gangster (R)!!!

Here's what Plugged In Online says about the opening of American Gangster...

American Gangster opens with [Denzel Washington's character] participating in a man's torture and death. The victim, whose shirt is bloody, is doused with gasoline and set on fire before Frank shoots him several times.

Parents were in shock, kids were crying, excuses were flying.... I would call that a BIG mistake!
