“Escape from Extinction Rewilding” makes its world premiere Friday at Dallas’ Angelika Theater, and now it has a Cowtown movie site too. Cinemark Rave Ridgmar 13 and XD will screen the movie. Here’s the ticket information available at deadline https://www.fandango.com/escape-from-extinction-rewilding-2024-237644/movie-overview and https://www.cinemark.com/movies/escape-from-extinction-rewilding.

Like the Dallas screening of the animal welfare documentary, proceeds from the film’s Fort Worth box office receipts will go toward Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit American Humane‘s animal welfare efforts. Both the nonprofit and the documentary spotlight a nature-first approach to conservation, working to rewild endangered species worldwide by restoring and protecting natural ecosystems and allowing them to return to their wild state.

The film, narrated by Academy Award-winner Meryl Streep spotlights that there are nearly 1 million species at risk.

The movie theater is at 2300 Green Oaks Road.

A Fandango ticket code is AMERICANHUMANE for $10 off for screenings in Fort Worth and Dallas.
