As Greg Kilday of Billboard says, Prince "burst onto the scene with his very first film, 1984's quasi-autobiographical Purple Rain."

At the time of film's release, Entertainment Weekly's Owen Gleiberman wrote, "Prince magnetizes the camera with The Stare -- a rivetingly narcissistic, come-hither gaze that's equal parts genetics, attitude, and eyeliner."

Purple Rain will be presented in approximately 80 theaters across 24 states. A list of locations is below. Showtimes can be found at www.Carmike.com. Carmike is finalizing showtimes and continues to add theatres, so fans are encouraged to check the link periodically for availability in their area.
