No, ‘Billy Lynn’ won’t be walking on Friday

This just in, "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk" will not be opening locally on Friday. The Ang Lee film version of Ben Fountain's novel will, according to Variety, expand to some 800 theaters on Nov. 18 — which should then include the Inland Northwest.

As I reported below, three films will open on Friday: "Arrival," "Almost Christmas" and "Shut In."
