A local movie theater wanting to show the new Mr. Rogers movie has been told no, according to the theater’s owner. Paul Looker, who runs Penn Hills Cinemas, claims Sony Pictures will not allow the new film “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood” — which focuses on Pittsburgh-native Fred Rogers — to be shown at that theater because it won’t make money. Looker says that makes no sense to him since the film was shot in parts of Penn Hills and highlights the community he lives and works in. Looker is hoping to start showing the new move starting sometime in December.
