DENVER, July 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The stoner icons, who first hit the screen 25 years ago in Clerks, are back in movie theaters with their long-awaited adventure, "Jay and Silent Bob Reboot." The new film sees Mewes and Smith return to the roles they created in 1994's Clerks. This time around, the New Jersey duo discover that Hollywood is rebooting an old movie based on them and embark on another cross-country mission to stop it all over again.

The first 50 people at each location on October 15 will receive a limited-edition poster (while supplies last). Then on Thursday, October 17 at 7:00 p.m. local time, audiences will see a special double feature of Miramax's "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back" and "Jay and Silent Bob Reboot." Both evenings will also feature exclusive bonus content.
