So, who's all going to go see Elvis On Tour in theaters?

[debtdbruno]

I'm surprised that EOT isn't going to be on big screens in other countries!!

Maybe it's our way of paying you guys in the U.K. back for being able to see ELVIS THE CONCERT and they don't tour the show over here anymore...

TCB!

LOL Mike

I've just seen Elvismatters are advertising an event going on in Belgium, so maybe (hopefully) it will work it's way to the UK???????

I think now is the time to put up or shut up in regards to EOT and all Elvis promotions in general. This is a perfect opportunity to show Sony, Warners, and EPE that there is support for Elvis promotions such as this.
Many have complained for years about why they don't do this , or that......things people have decided would be correct marketing of Elvis and his work.
Well hear is the opportunity-if you have complained about them not doing enough, not spending enough, not promoting Elvis correctly-here is the chance to turn out for this theater showing in large numbers........to show if they do the right thing it is going to reap them rewards.
IMO this is the time to show your support for Elvis and his legacy-show up make it a huge success in numbers.
(which is the only success anyone pays attention to and reacts to)
If this flops, or shows lukewarm business-it will be along time before we see something like this again (or any effort to remaster and cut all the outtakes from TTWII and EOT)

Can't wait, it's only playing in one theatre in RI and it's the one literally down the street from my house. I would drive to Memphis if I had to but it's pretty cool it's playing here. Hopefully it's a huge success!! With the music out nowadays we need Elvis back in the spotlight!

All excellent points Ken!!!

EVERYONE GET OUT THERE AND SUPPORT THIS EVENT, IF YOU CAN!!! Let's show the powers-that-be that we are serious about Elvis and the release of EOT!!! As Ken said, the only thing that talks is MONEY so let's spend the money to prove that a new release of EOT with the available outtakes would be a profitable one!!

In order for E.O.T. to be a big success they need to promote this big time to the general public......like putting adds on tv and in magazines and have billboards put up in popular locations and big cites like New York.

[KPM]

Actually in my area the theater its going to play at does have it listed on its board and most of my friends and family have heard about it.
I think most fans know about this showing (news travels fast on the net)-and lets face it the fans (not the general public) are the ones who have been complaining about EOT not being on DVD, and wanting more promotions which highlight Elvis the performer-well this is it. Warners does not expect to make a mint from the general public-if they make any money it will be from we fans who have begged for things such as this-well here it is! IMO if this does not do well it is no ones fault but we fans.
I would say 90% of the audience for EOT in theaters will be long standing fans-and if we show up in big numbers it will make a statement-if we don't.........unfortunately it also makes a statement and it will be our fault.

Lets not forget the Internet is the best and fastest way to advertise or showcase anything....in todays world.

Not trying to get off subject here but the theatrical showing of EOT probably wouldn't have happened without CKX being involved. I noticed on the trailer for the special showing that Graceland's logo, which is also on CKX website is used long with WB. Prior to CKX we couldn't get anyting on Elvis in a theater. Now we have this and Viva Elvis and so much more to come to look forward to. No telling what all would have been done with the Elvis image and nme had Lisa Marie had sold the rights a long time ago.

Back to the topic. As I mentioned in this thread, there's supposed to be never before seen footage included. But I would assume following the actual documentary. Most likely the 'Lost Performances' footage released back in the 90's. If that is indeed what they mean by "unseen" then that would be: All Shook Up, Teddy Bear/Don't Be Cruel, Are You Lonesome Tonight, I Can't Stop Loving You, How Great Thou Art and Release Me. Unless CKX struck some type of deal with WB for the showing to include really unseen footage, as in raw footage. But that would probably be wishful thinking.

I agree. A good showing could result in WB creating a whole new movie with the extra footage put together like Michael Jackson' 'This Is It'. Maybe for 2017 for the 40th anniversary of his death.

I wish I could!

[TotallyInsane]

Back in 2005 we had the 68 Special at the theatres when it was being released on DVD. Isn't the lost performances from That's The Way It Is?

Most of 'Lost Performances' was from the 'That's The Way It Is' vaults but that last portion was from EOT outtakes of Hampton Roads and Greensboro. Strange though that no outtakes from the Richmond concert on April 10 has never leaked even though it was also filmed and recorded.

I wish some footage would surface, I'd especially like to see this concert.

[TCB81975]

If its shown here in Atlanta, I will definetely be there.

[rocknroll]

Saw the movie poster and trailer in my local theater last night. The poster mentions unseen footage. I will definitely be there.

[TCB81975]

Its playing at a theater about ten minutes from my house here in Alpharetta. I will definetely be there now. Heres a link to a pdf with participating theaters

Here I totally disagree-FANS have clamored for over 10 years about seeing EOT released on DVD-as they did for TTWIISE which was remastered and put out in 2001 and had a limited theater release....long before CKX or Sillerman. If any one entitiy is responsible for this making it to DVD and into the theaters its FANS who have sent letters and E-Mails too Turner and Warners in the last 10 years. Any time an official of Warners or Turner made announcements about future releases in the last 10 years-they were asked
"When is EOT going on DVD" by some fan.
CKX and EPE do have interaction with Sony and those who own Elvis films-but the prime decisions for releasing movies starts and ends with the people who own them-in this case Warners....interaction is far cry from any final decisions made. EPE makes this very clear on their official website-they do not own the films and they have no sayso in how they are used or released.

Isn't there going to be a little speech from Cilla as an intro. (ok, I can close my eyes and plug my ears for a minute)
