If you missed out on catching the hottest new releases right when they came out, you're in luck: those same movies may still be in theaters, albeit with more open seats and shorter popcorn lines.

It's not always easy to determine when the movie you planned to see on the big screen will leave your local theater. Factors like ticket sales and distribution contracts figure into the equation, but in general, movies can stay in theaters anywhere from a mere two weeks to many months.

Read on for the highest-rated "old" new releases still screening in Miami theaters, based on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes' Tomatometer Score, which reflects the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics.

Isn't It Romantic

For a long time, Natalie, an Australian architect living in New York City, had always believed that what she had seen in rom-coms is all fantasy. But after thwarting a mugger at a subway station only to be knocked out while fleeing, Natalie wakes up and discovers that her life has suddenly become her worst nightmare—a romantic comedy—and she is the leading lady.

With a Tomatometer Score of 69 percent and an Audience Score of 51 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, "Isn't It Romantic" is well worth a watch. The New York Post's Johnny Oleksinski said, "Unlike other movies where women bang their heads, this one's got a brain," while Bilge Ebiri of New York Magazine/Vulture noted, "It's the Inception of rom-coms. Sort of."

"Isn't It Romantic" is now only playing at one theater in Miami, which means it may not be screening for much longer. Want to see for yourself? It's playing at Silverspot Cinema Metsquare (300 S.E. Third Ave.) through Thursday, March 21. Click here for showtimes and tickets.

Vice

George W. Bush picks Dick Cheney, the CEO of Halliburton Co., to be his Republican running mate in the 2000 presidential election. No stranger to politics, Cheney's impressive résumé includes stints as White House chief of staff, House Minority Whip and defense secretary. When Bush wins by a narrow margin, Cheney begins to use his newfound power to help reshape the country and the world.

With a Tomatometer Score of 66 percent and an Audience Score of 57 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, "Vice" is well worth a watch. "'What is perhaps most remarkable about Bale's and Adams's performances is that they supply depth and nuance to a film whose director appears to have had no appetite for either quality," according to Christopher Orr of the Atlantic, while the Chicago Reader's Leah Pickett said, "You cannot simply sit and absorb this movie. Love it or hate it, you are one of its characters."

"Vice" is now only playing at one theater in and around Miami, so you may want to act fast. Catch it on the big screen at Cinépolis Coconut Grove (3015 Grand Ave.) through Wednesday, March 20. Click here for showtimes and tickets.

Bohemian Rhapsody

Singer Freddie Mercury, guitarist Brian May, drummer Roger Taylor and bass guitarist John Deacon take the music world by storm when they form the rock 'n' roll band Queen in 1970. Hit songs become instant classics. When Mercury's increasingly wild lifestyle starts to spiral out of control, Queen soon faces its greatest challenge yet – finding a way to keep the band together amid the success and excess.

With a Tomatometer Score of 61 percent and an Audience Score of 87 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, "Bohemian Rhapsody" is well worth a watch. "As for Freddie Mercury, is this his real life? Is this just fantasy - not sure that really matters either. When Malek's strutting like a peacock, this movie is a decently amusing escape from reality," noted Bob Mondello of NPR, while the New Yorker's Richard Brody said, "Malek does an impressive job of re-creating Mercury's moves onstage, but the core of the performance is Malek's intensely thoughtful, insight-rich channeling of Mercury's hurt, his alienation and isolation even at the height of his fame."

"Bohemian Rhapsody" is now only playing at one theater in and around Miami — a big hint that it could be leaving local theaters soon. Catch it on the big screen at Silverspot Cinema Metsquare (300 S.E. Third Ave.) through Thursday, March 21. Click here for showtimes and tickets.

Alita: Battle Angel

When Alita awakens with no memory of who she is in a future world she does not recognize, she is taken in by Ido, a compassionate doctor who realizes that somewhere in this abandoned cyborg shell is the heart and soul of a young woman with an extraordinary past.

With a Tomatometer Score of 60 percent and an Audience Score of 94 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, "Alita: Battle Angel" is well worth a watch. Slate's Sam Adams said, "It's goofy as hell and borderline inexcusable at times, but it's also kind of glorious," and Tony Baker Comedy's Tony Baker said, "When the action would kick off you could really see the choreography. You could see the movements being executed, you could see what's being done...Alita could really fight."

"Alita: Battle Angel" is now only playing at one theater in Miami, which means it may not be screening for much longer. In the mood for popcorn? It's playing at Silverspot Cinema Metsquare (300 S.E. Third Ave.) through Thursday, March 21. Click here for showtimes and tickets.
