It was produced by Warner Bros., which like CNN is owned by Time Warner (TWX), will play at 87 AMC locations in cities like Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York.
Both the film and the album "Purple Rain" helped make Prince one of the most famous names in music.
The movie made nearly $70 million at the box office and garnered Prince an Oscar win for Best Original Song.
While the film has become a cult favorite, the album is considered to be one of the most critically acclaimed and successful albums in the history of music.
The album includes hits like "Let's Go Crazy" and "When Doves Cry" and went 13 times platinum, selling over 13 million copies.
