#CrossoverInsider DVD/BluRay Releases; Summerfest & NEW East Coast Fav’s!
TYLER’S WEEKLY REVIEW
“We are SPARTA!” This line quickly became the most repeated quote from the 2006 blockbuster hit 300- starring Gerard Butler. The story of King Leonidas and his force of 300 men who fought the Persians at Thermopylae in 480 B.C., quickly became a cult classic and earned a robust 210 million dollars at the global box office. It was, therefore, only a matter of time before the Spartans fought again. Fast forward to March of 2014 and the long awaited 300 sequel, titled Rise of an Empire, debuted in theatres.
This week, 300 Rise of an Empire is our headline new release in a week that features ten new titles in total;

SUMMERFEST 2014!
Over the years, the organizing committee has worked very hard to make Marathon’s Summerfest an annual success. In my opinion, they have succeeded in that task. Marathon’s Summerfest is now a marquee event in our community with something for everyone. It is a truly a weekend that is worth staying home (or traveling to Marathon) for.
This year, Crossover Video and Games will once again be partnering with Nancy Ryan, owner of Marathon Theatre for an event that caters to the family crowd.
Saturday, June 28th
we will be hosting a Family Movie Matinee at Marathon Theatre. For only 2.50 per person, you and your family can enjoy “How to Train Your Dragon”, a family classic. The canteen will be open and all guests will receive a 2 for 1 coupon that can be redeemed at Crossover Video and Games. We hope to see you there!
Also at Crossover during Summerfest; be sure to check out our Summerfest Sidewalk Sale. We will have hundreds of movies for sale on the sidewalk in front of the store- all at discounted prices!
