MOVIES

‘Gone With the Wind’

Tomorrow is another day. Depending on when you’re reading this, though, tomorrow might not be one of the days you can see “Gone With the Wind,” which is coming back to the big screen in celebration of its 80th anniversary. Those screenings will only add to the movie’s record box office haul. Adjusted for inflation, it’s the highest-grossing film ever in the United States and Canada with more than $2 billion in ticket sales. See “Gone With the Wind” at 1 p.m. Sunday and 6 p.m. Monday at Colonnade, Orleans, Red Rock, Sam’s Town, Santa Fe and Village Square.
