Fans of Prince will be able to get a big-screen glimpse at the late music icon beginning tomorrow, when his seminal film "Purple Rain" is screened at select Southland AMC theaters.

AMC will show the film at 87 theaters across the country, including eight in Orange County and surrounding areas:

• Atlantic Times Square 14, Monterey Park;
• Broadway 4, Santa Monica;
• Covina 17;
• Norwalk 20;
• Ontario Mills 30;
• Orange 30;
• Promenade 16, Woodland Hills; and
• Rolling Hills 20, Torrance.

The film will also be shown at the Mission Valley 20 theater complex in San Diego.

Screenings will continue through Thursday.
