Is Atlas Shrugged playing on the big screen in London and if so where can I find listings?

Perhaps but that's not what I'm concerned with. Worldwide is very different to the UK and London stands apart from the rest of the UK. You name the measure.... wealth, productivity, employment, property prices there is no where else in the UK like London. Whereas an entitlement culture pervades much of the rest of the country there is a respect for liberty and hard work here.

If I were one of the people having to cut deals for worldwide distribution rights for these films I would deal with London seperately as this is single city in the world outside of the US where one could be assured of a high level of interest.

  There have been similar requests for screenings in New Zealand as well. Again, both these are English speaking countries, but they are of different economies and world situations.

Wikipedia suggests the population of London is 8.2m and the population of New Zealand is 4.4m. I'm sure NZ is a lovely place but its has a low population density. London by contrast has the highest population of native English speaking peoples outside of the US. Therefore I would suggest that your films will make more much money from screenings in London alone than you would from the entire country of New Zealand.

This is the land John Locke and Adam Smith (yes, he was a Scot). We aren't all socialists over here :-)

  That's good to know. My son-in-law is from there, and he has told me as much. London is where my daughter and he like to spend their spare time--as it is their second home. So I'm with you. : )

  I would think London an excellent market for Atlas ideas, but theatre distribution access I suspect is expensive (as it is in most places.) Rand has hardly scratched the market internationally.

I bet there is more world-wide desire for ASP2 than many experts think.

I second this. Would happily travel to London from Switzerland for a screening but I can't justify trans-Atlantic flights for a movie.

The entire outside-the-US run of Part I was, if I'm remembering right, about three screens in Canada for a couple weeks. Since Part II is failing to make money in its US release, any overseas showing is unlikely.
