Purple Rain back in theaters this weekend.. Not in Canada

The cult classic is headed back to theaters… But so far no where here in Canada :(

“Purple Rain,” starring the late pop star, was first released in 1984 and earned Prince an Academy Award for Best Original Song Score. The accompanying album also produced two no. 1 singles –“When Doves Cry” and “Let’s Go Crazy–and went platinum 13 times over.

AMC, the States largest theater chain, is teaming with Warner Bros. to screen “Purple Rain” in 87 AMC locations this Saturday, April 22, through Thursday, April 27. Carmike Theaters will also screen the cult favorite in 80 theaters.

Sadly no word if this is happening anywhere in Canada.

I’ve never seen Purple Rain but I would very much like too!
