Anyone heard any more on this?

It was supposed to start at the end of march. Which are the 2 theatres that have been selected?
In the past its pretty much been yongsan, but I did catch speed scandal with english subs at myeongdong lotte.

[edit]
apparently its started, I've never been to a Cinus theatre..how are they in comparison to lotte and cvg?

Its a bit of a bummer they're playing the same movie at both theatres..if they're only going to do one, they should at least have a different movie at each place.

They have for the odd movie but nothing regular.
Same with lotte in myeongdong. Speedy scandal was in busan and seoul and one other place for a total of 5 theatres at once with english subtitles. Problem was they were few and far between.
This is a new program to ensure that there is always a korean movie playing with english subtitles and the goal is apparently to run every korean movie over the course of a year through there with english subtitles.
