New Chinese movie The Captain (中国机长) stays in Pittsburgh through (at least) October 30.



The 2019 Chinese film The Captain (中国机长), which opened Pittsburgh on October 18, will continue here through at least October 30. The distributor writes of the film, based on the 2018 Sichuan Airlines Flight 8633 incident:
Director Andrew Lau's cinematic portrayal of the most miraculous emergency landing in the contemporary history of Chinese aviation.
It has been the top film in China its first three weekends and is currently the fifth-highest grossing film of the year there, despite not being released until September 30. It will play at the AMC Loews Waterfront and tickets are available on the theater's site. The theater is located at 300 West Waterfront Dr. in the Waterfront shopping complex in Homestead (map), across the Monongahela River from Greenfield, Squirrel Hill, and the rest of Pittsburgh.
