Aquarium of the Bay
If you missed seeing "Nim's Island," starring Jodi Foster, Abigail Breslin and Gerard Butler, during its theatrical release, you'll have a second chance to see it on the big screen. Aquarium of the Bay will host special screenings at 11am, 1pm and 3pm. Special Nim's Island prize packages will also be rewarded throughout the day.
About Nim's Island: Anything can happen on Nim's Island, a magical place ruled by a young girl's imagination. It is an existence that mirrors that of her favorite literary character, Alex Rover - the world's greatest adventurer. But Alexandra, the author of Rover books, leads a reclusive life in the big city. When Nim's father goes missing from their island, a twist of fate brings her together with Alexandra. Now, they must draw courage from their fictional hero, Alex Rover, and find strength in one another to conquer Nim's Island.
