Jeremy Irvine bonds with one of the 14 equines that played Joey in "War Horse."
David Appleby/DreamWorksThe studio behind Steven Spielberg’s War Horse wants Academy voters to watch the film on the big screen, and to make that happen, Disney/DreamWorks will offer free screenings to AMPAS and guild members beginning on opening day.
While most studios offer AMPAS and guild members the ability to go see a film two weeks after it opens, Disney/DreamWorks has announced that they will allow all AMPAS and guild members nationwide to use their membership cards to see War Horse in theatres beginning on the film’s opening day, December 25.
