36 Movie Theaters Where You Can Ditch Work For the Michael Jackson Memorial

Presuming you weren't one of the lucky, ghoulishy overjoyed few to score a ticket to today's Michael Jackson Memorial and Propofol Singers Revue, no sweat, There's still time to arrange a plan B! Sort of. The digital exhibition company Cinedigm has arranged to broadcast the show's high-definition feed in dozens of movie theaters nationwide at 10 a.m. PT, helping offset the California taxpayers' burden offering free, first-come-first-served tickets to those who want a little more sense of occasion and community from their day of mourning. Alas, for those of you in some of America's biggest urban centers, there's a minor catch.

I'm talking to you, Chicago. And San Francisco. And Miami, Seattle, Dallas, Houston, Phoenix, and way too many shut-out markets currently relegated to sneaking glimpses in the office conference room. (At least 50 more locations are reportedly to be added to Cinedigm's site throughout the morning.) But Johnston, Tenn.? You're in luck! Let any of us at Movieline know if you require a doctor's note or other excuse. We're here to help.
