Will there be other nationwide local showings of the film as well? Hoping to take my son!

will the UHd box set also street around this time??

I'm sure I'll get updated if other screenings are planned. Unfortunately many of these showcase-type screenings tend to revolve around LA or NYC. With an 'early 2020' slated release date for the 4K UHD box set, this LA screening might well be a studio marketing tie-in.

The Hollywood Museum (which is in the previously known as art deco Max Factor building) just opened an amazing Back to the Future Trilogy exhibit.
