Yay confirmed! Fun solve.
Now hubby doesnโt need to hear me muttering to myself about a meta until Thursday afternoon!
Don't we have an MMMM today?
Bad on me. Not signed up yet.

Off the couch, awaiting confirmation, but I'm pretty sure.
Thanks for the puzzle, it was very well done even though it stumped me for a few days.
Update: confirmed

Off the couch! Was confused for a moment and sent in a wrong answer, then saw the light and submitted the right one. Fun! This movie is on my watch list.

I get a lot of ideas for metas based on inelegance of my own devising... or at least from rabbits I've chased and mechanisms I've imagined.

Nudge #3:
You're looking for a seven-letter word which is the second word of the movie. Look for similar patterns in 7 symmetrically-placed Across entries.

I am off the couch but waiting the blessing of the gurus who created this meta. Nudges convinced me that I have the answer.

It took all three nudges to push me off the couch. Nice one, Al and Josh!
