MAIN ATTRACTIONS
Main Attractions
What main films will play at the
Garden? This section lists the Main
Attractions that we intend to play in the
coming weeks. Additional unlisted films
will also become available. This list is
only an educated guess, though, since
film release plans often change.
When will these main films play?
Scheduling our Main Attractions is weekto-week. On Monday, we decide what
main films will play starting that Friday.
On Tuesday and Wednesday, we set the
showtimes for the upcoming week and
then update our website and telephone
hotline. We also send out a weekly email
(which you can receive by signing up
at our website). Sometimes, we book
a main film a few weeks in advance,
which we post on our website’s “Coming
Attractions” section.
For our latest Main Attractions plans,

call our hotline at 609-279-1999.)

MAIN ATTRACTIONS
Limited Engagements
We try to play each of our Main
Attractions films for a full multi-week
run. Sometimes, however, we are unable
to play a film in a timely or complete
way, and it becomes a question of either
squeezing it in or not playing it at all. We
then often schedule that film for a couple
of mid-week screenings, called Limited
Engagements. Make sure that you sign
up for our weekly email, so that you don’t
miss these short, last-chance screenings.
Brooklyn
Carol
