'Purple Rain' Screening in Select D.C., Baltimore Theaters

"Purple Rain," the album, could easily stand alone among the best albums of all time. But it's also a soundtrack to the 1984 film by the same name that, like his music, is uniquely Prince.

After Prince's sudden death Thursday at 57, tributes have popped up across the globe, including all-night dance raves and radio and TV stations playing his hits on a constant loop.

So, it's not surprising that movie theaters are joining the tribute, with AMC announcing it will screen "Purple Rain" from April 23-28.

AMC locations in the region include (check showtimes):

• AMC Hoffman 22, Alexandria, Va.
• AMC MJ Capital Center 12, Largo, Md.
• AMC White Marsh 16, Baltimore

In tribute to the iconic #Prince, AMC will be playing #PurpleRain 4/23 - 4/28. #RIPPrince https://t.co/ZhcOt6maiZ pic.twitter.com/JBWP35vE1W

The audience score at Rotten Tomatoes is 79 percent. And their Critics Consensus:

Purple Rain makes for undeniably uneven cinema, but it's held together by its star's singular charisma -- not to mention a slew of classic songs.
