The premiere of Doctor Who Series 8 — featuring the debut of Peter Capaldi as the 12th Doctor — isn't limiting itself to the small screen. On August 23rd, day-and-date with the television release, episode one of the new series will be screened in theaters around the world. The feature-length episode, called "Deep Breath," clocks in at over 70 minutes long, so you should get your money's worth at the cinema.

This isn't the first time Doctor Who has been screened in movie theaters, however: last year a very special 50th anniversary episode featuring multiple incarnations of the Doctor was shown in over 1,500 theaters around the world.
