Local movie theaters prepare for The Omen's return

Satan will appear in Rhode Island early next week on a date that would make the devil smile: 6/6/06.

20th Century Fox has chosen to release the remake of the 1976 thriller, Omen, on a date bearing numbers used in the Bible's Revelation 13 to describe the devil, known as the beast.

"Then I saw another beast, coming out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb, but he spoke like a dragon," it reads in part. "If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666."

Omen tells the story of a child named Damien, the anti-Christ, who bears the numbers 6-6-6 on his skull.

Movie theaters across the state have just re-arranged next week's schedules to accommodate the Tuesday release. Check for times and locations via projo.com's searchable database of movie listings.
