Silver Screen Spotlight: Angel Studios’ “Young Washington” hits theaters ahead of July 4

EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (WEAU) - A new Angel Studios movie is telling the story of our nation’s first leader, before he got that title.

America turns 250 years old on Saturday, and Micon has a new release to celebrate. “Young Washington” tells the story of our country’s first president, long before he ever took that title. Starring Kelsey Grammar, Ben Kingsley, and William Franklyn Miller, “Young Washington” is screening at Micon Chippewa Falls and the Oakwood Mall.

A24 is bringing a longer cut of their recent horror smash “Backrooms” to the big screen. “Backrooms: Everything Must Go Edition” features 16 minutes of new material after the credits roll. You can catch it this weekend at Micon Chippewa Falls and the Oakwood Mall.

“Minions: The Rise of Gru” and “Dora and the Lost City of Gold” are the summer kids’ movies this week. “Minions” screens at 10 a.m. on Monday and Tuesday at the mall; “Dora” at the same time on Wednesday and Thursday in Chippewa Falls. Tickets are just $2.
