March 13: Free screening of ‘Jesus Revolution’

GREENFIELD — A free screening of “Jesus Revolution” will be offered at the Garden Cinemas on Monday, March 13, at 6:30 p.m.

The film, starring Jonathan Roumie and Kelsey Grammer, has been the No. 1 movie at the Garden Cinemas for two weeks in a row, according to co-owner Isaac Mass.

“The turnout is pretty impressive since the film has had stiff competition from ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,’ ‘Cocaine Bear’ and ‘Creed III,’” Mass wrote in an email. “Our February concession sales exceeded December, which is the busiest month of the year.”
