New Amsterdam Entertainment Inc.\u00ae<\/strong> is proud to announce George A. Romero\u2019s ‘Dawn of the Dead’<\/strong> will be celebrating the 45th Anniversary<\/strong> of its North American debut with a blow-out celebration event! The definitive zombie classic returns to both Theatres<\/strong> and Drive-Ins<\/strong> for screenings across the U.S.<\/strong> and Canada<\/strong> from April-May, 2024,<\/strong> with very special official anniversary collectables coming from FRIGHT-RAGS and ISH!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The North American gala premiere of ‘Dawn of the Dead’ took place on April 12, 1979 at the Gateway Theatre in downtown Pittsburgh. The film began the official U.S. theatrical launch the following day, eventually rolling out across the country. To honor this special milestone, New Amsterdam Entertainment Inc.\u00ae is making the movie available again in theatres & drive-ins for coast-to-coast screenings starting April 12, 2024 and running through to the end of May!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hitting over 90 screens across North America, Independent Theatres and Drive-Ins have joined the celebration. While some will only host one exclusive screening event, others will have multiple showings throughout April and May; the full itinerary can be found below and also at\u00a0THIS LOCATION<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
