Holiday Action & Classics Return too Duluth‘s Big Screen
Duluth, MN – December 22, 2023 – Beloved holiday films, including the action classic “Die Hard,” are returning to theaters in Duluth this weekend, offering residents a chance to experience the festive season with cinematic favorites.Zeitgeist Zinema will screen “Die Hard” on December 23, providing a venue for fans to celebrate the film’s enduring status as a Christmas staple.
The resurgence of these films on the big screen comes after the recent conclusion of a popular Minneapolis stage production, “A Very Die Hard Christmas,” which ran for over a decade and playfully debated the film’s holiday categorization.
