Bella to be shown in Indianapolis, other cities

By Sean Gallagher

The motion picture Bella, featured in the Oct. 26 issue of The Criterion, is slated to open in Indianapolis and Louisville on Nov. 16, although no specific theaters and show times had been announced when this newspaper went to press.

Bella will open in the Cincinnati metropolitan area on Nov. 9 at the Springdale 18 Cinema De Lux, 12064 Springfield Pike, in Springdale, Ohio. For show times at this theater, call 513-699-1500.

The movie will also be shown at the Regal Deerfield Towne Center Stadium 16 Theater, 5500 Deerfield Blvd., in Mason, Ohio. For show times, call 513-770-0964.

Bella will also be shown at the AMC Newport on the Levee 20 Theater, 1 Levee Way, Suite 4100, in Newport, Ky. For show times, call 859-261-8100.

Since its national premiere on Oct. 26, Bella has performed well at the box office through two weekends.

Although it has been shown on less than 300 screens nationally (compared to 3,000 screens for larger film releases), Bella has remained in the top 20 in total gross income.

More significantly, the movie has been in the top three in total gross income per screen in both of its first two weekend showings.

Bella’s strong performance from its first to its second weekend has allowed the film’s distribution to be expanded to include cities such as Indianapolis and Louisville.

Updated information about specific theaters showing the movie in these two cities, and other theaters in and around the archdiocese that will feature Bella, should be listed in the coming days at www.bellatheaters.com. †
