Did you miss Steve McQueen’s 12 Years a Slave when it played nationwide over the last month? Did you read about all of its Golden Globe, SAG and Critics Choice nominations and critics’ awards and think, “Hm… maybe I should go see this” only to learn that the movie had already left your local theater?
If your answer is “yes” to either of the above then you’re in luck because Fox Searchlight is already planning on bringing the movie back into theaters on January 17, 2014–the day after Oscar nominations are announced–for an exclusive engagement in select cities.
