Ok. The nearest movie theater is by the Christiana Mall in Newark, Delaware, however, they no longer are showing 1917, and they do not have any listings for Photograph currently. Shall I try another theater?

Ok. Unfortunately 1917 is no longer showing at the Wilmington Riverfront theater. It is also no longer showing at Cinemark in Stanton, Wilmington Delaware. Photograph is showing at Cinemark, but not until Monday evening. There are no Sunday evening showings. Would you like an afternoon showing or a different movie?
