"Purple Rain" back in 87 AMC Theatres beginning Saturday, 4/23 through Thursday

Twenty-two years after its release, Prince's "Purple Rain" is back in theaters following the musician's death.

AMC Theatres announced Friday that 87 of its U.S. theaters will play Prince's 1984 cult classic film beginning Saturday and running through Thursday.

The film was an unlikely box office hit when it was first released, grossing $68.4 million. Its soundtrack went on to sell more than 25 million copies.

Also, a New Orleans style jazz funeral march send-off has been organized.

Prince fans in New Orleans have organized a jazz funeral for the music icon.

The jazz funeral march set for Monday was organized on Facebook and will include mourners clad in purple, marching bands and a release of white doves just as the sun's setting on the historic Treme neighborhood.
