Look at almost any movie theater marquee right now and you’ll probably see not just new titles but a smattering of older films, too. At a time when nearly everything is available at home with a few clicks, nothing is surging on the big screen as much as yesterday’s movies. Repertory cinema, once the home of the arthouse, is now in the multiplex, too. Sometimes, the ticket sales can be eye-popping. In the last two weeks, the beloved stop-motion Laika Studios film “Coraline" has grossed more than $25 million — a staggering sum for a 15-year-old movie. This fall will see anniversary releases of “Shaun of the Dead,” “Paris, Texas,” “Whiplash,” “Hoop Dreams,” “Interstellar” and many more.
