Museum of Science and Industry to Premiere 'Harry Potter' Movie

In conjunction with the current Harry Potter exhibit at the Museum of Science and Industry, the MSI will be premiering the new film Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince at their Omnimax Theater. The Omnimax has a screen that is 5 stories tall, so it will offer a unique viewing experience beyond the cineplex at the mall -- it's one of only 3 large-format theaters in the country showing the film on its premiere date. They will be kicking off the festivities with midnight screenings starting at 12:01 a.m., Wednesday, July 15 (what one would normally think of as Tuesday night) through 12:01 a.m., Sunday, July 19 (Saturday night). The film will then be screened at regular intervals daily through September 27.
