Alamo Drafthouse Staten Island has the perfect way to discover your new favorite theater and break up the holiday doldrums between Christmas and New Year’s Eve – a Free Movie Day on Wednesday, December 28th. The acclaimed cinema eatery will welcome guests from Staten Island and beyond to experience its unique brand of film exhibition – with no talking or texting, custom ad-free pre-shows before every movie, and food and drinks delivered to your seat – with as many free movies as they can fit into a day. All guests have to do to reserve tickets is purchase a $5 food and beverage voucher for each screening they want to attend that can be redeemed toward the cinema’s renowned, made-from-scratch food and non-alcoholic beverages during the show. Tickets are available at drafthouse.com/nyc or via the Alamo Drafthouse mobile app.

“We’ve been blown away by the support since opening our Staten Island theater,” says Michael Kustermann, Chief Experience Officer. “This Free Movie Day is our way of welcoming more of the community in and thanking them for all of their support going into the new year.”

Guests can expect to see for free all of this holiday season’s biggest available films, including James Cameron’s AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER, PUSS IN BOOTS: THE LAST WISH, and Damien Chazelle’s BABYLON. There will be plenty of exclusive specialty programming on offer as well, including THE IRON GIANT, GOODFELLAS, and IMPRACTICAL JOKERS.

Since opening its doors this past July at The Boulevard, Alamo Drafthouse Staten Island has seen a swell of support and enthusiasm from the Staten Island community. New releases such as director Ryan Coogler’s BLACK PANTHER: WAKANDA FOREVER and James Cameron’s AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER have driven strong attendance through the holiday season, while exclusive programming such as Alamo Drafthouse’s famous ELF Movie Parties have delighted guests of all ages with themed props and interactive fun.

There’s just something about Hollywood. Sure there’s the obvious fact that it’s the center of the cinematic universe and without it we wouldn’t get to show and talk about films for a living, but it’s more than that. It’s the fame, the dark corners, and all the little gears that keep the machine running that ignite the passions of millions. It’s truly like no other place on Earth, and with Damien Chazelle’s BABYLON on our screens, we thought it was the perfect time to look back at the complicated history of one of our favorite towns. Join us for a slate of films we feel best exemplify Tinseltown, including SINGIN’ IN THE RAIN, ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD, LA LA LAND, MULHOLLAND DR, and more.

And that’s just the start of what we’ve got in store for you to kick off 2023. Ringers rejoice, because we’re heading back to Middle-earth for the one trilogy that rules them all, THE LORD OF THE RINGS. We’ll be showing the extended editions of all three films throughout the month. If you’ve always wanted to be a Goonie, this is your year to join the gang at our THE GOONIES Movie Party, complete with pirate themed treasures you don’t have to go through a dangerous cave to get. We’re also launching a new series, Foreign & Domestic, dedicated to exploring the greatest in international cinema, and expanding our Wild Things series to bring the craziest, most maddening pieces of genre cinema to an Alamo Drafthouse near you.

For the latest that Hollywood and beyond has to offer, we’ve got some heaters hitting screens this month. M3GAN is a bloody, creepy, and demented addition to the esteemed psychotic toy genre. If you like your Tom Hanks grumpy and gravelly, then you’ll love A MAN CALLED OTTO, a heartwarming dark dramedy about a sad man meeting a precocious (and intrusive) family. Plus, we’ve got Fantastic Fest favorite KIDS VS. ALIENS, Brandon Cronenberg’s wild INFINITY POOL, A24’s coming-of-age dramedy WHEN YOU FINISH SAVING THE WORLD, and many more.


New Releases in January

Opening the week of January 6th

THE SUBTLE ART OF NOT GIVING A #@%!
A cinematic documentary based on the global bestselling self-help phenomenon designed to help us become less awful people. What better way is there to start the new year?

M3GAN
The Model 3 Generative Android might not be the most stable of friends (i.e. murderous, psychotic, super scary) but she’s a damn good dancer. Don’t miss this demented horror from producer James Wan and Blumhouse.

CORSAGE
The compelling story of an Austrian empress rebelling against her image as the corset laces pull tighter and tighter.

Fantastic Fest Presents: SOFT & QUIET
A runaway train of tension following the horrific events of one bad day.

Opening the week of January 13th

A MAN CALLED OTTO
Tom Hanks stars as a man tired of useless people, imported cars, and pretty much life in general in this heartwarming dark dramedy.

ALL THAT BREATHES
A mesmerizing documentary about two brothers dedicating their lives to protecting a bird of prey in New Delhi, and the first film to win best documentary at both Sundance and Cannes.

SKINAMARINK
Two boys awake to find their father missing and all the windows and doors of their house gone. This is pure, nerve-shredding horror that left us squirming in our seats.

Opening the week of January 20th

THAT TIME I GOT REINCARNATED AS A SLIME THE MOVIE: SCARLET BOND
Gotta say, that’s one of the craziest titles we’ve seen for a movie. It’s also the action-packed film set in the universe of the beloved anime/manga, available subbed or dubbed.

WHEN YOU FINISH SAVING THE WORLD
Julianne Moore, Finn Wolfhard, A24. We know, say less, we were sold too.

KIDS VS. ALIENS
A rip roaring trip through gory ‘80s nostalgia helmed by canuxploitation favorite Jason Eisener (HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN) and a big hit from Fantastic Fest.

MISSING
A teen girl is left home alone as her mother goes on a trip to Colombia with her boyfriend – best week everrrrr! That is until they don’t come home and she has to go on a desperate internet search to find them, uncovering some pretty uncomfortable truths about her mom along the way.

Opening the week of January 27th

INFINITY POOL
A couple ventures outside the bounds of their pristine resort hotel to find a world of violence, hedonism, and untold horror. This wild ride from Brandon Cronenberg stars Alexander Skarsgård and Mia Goth.


Repertory Screenings in January

Beginning January 6th

THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING Extended Edition
The epic beginning of the most epic trilogy of all time sees Frodo and the gang head out on a quest to destroy the One Ring and banish evil from Middle-earth forever. A rare chance to see the extended edition on the big screen.

Foreign & Domestic: SUNSET BOULEVARD
Winner of three Academy Awards, director Billy Wilder's powerful orchestration of this bizarre tale is a true cinematic classic. The definitive statement on the dark and desperate side of Hollywood.

MULHOLLAND DRIVE
Dreams, nightmares, and one of the scariest f^*%ing things ever found behind a dumpster – David Lynch’s surreal and seductive vision of Los Angeles’ dream factory is one of the true masterpieces of the new millennium.

Wild Things: FRANKENHOOKER
Frank Henenlotter’s FRANKENHOOKER is a bad-taste triumph that revels in sublime camp, gloopy gore, and neon-soaked dreamscapes. Truly a unique experience on the big screen not to be missed.

Beginning January 13th

FRIDAY THE 13TH PART VI: JASON LIVES
The man in the mask that just won’t stay down is back from the grave to wreak havoc upon a new group of unsuspecting campers in an ultra-bloody rampage. An epically gory chapter in Jason’s story that’s a must see for any horror hound.

THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE TWO TOWERS Extended Edition
The fellowship has failed, the realms of men teeter on the brink, and all that stands between Middle-earth and total destruction are two small hobbits on a perilous quest. The horn of Helm Hammerhand shall sound in the deep, one last time!

LA LA LAND Brunch
Damien Chazelle’s technicolor tale of love, loss, and ambition in the City of Angels is full of catchy numbers, energetic editing, and phenomenal performances from Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling. A great watch made all the better with brunch food, especially before seeing his much more madcap ode to Hollywood, BABYLON.

World of Animation: MILLENNIUM ACTRESS
Another powerful masterpiece from Satoshi Kon (PERFECT BLUE) that beautifully illustrates a side of anime that you might not have seen before. Dramatic, fantastical, and gorgeously rendered, MILLENNIUM ACTRESS is not to be missed.

Wild Things: HARD TARGET
John Woo. Jean Claude Van Damme. Lance Henriksen. Doves flying. Rattlesnakes getting punched. If you’re not sold already then we don’t know what else we can say.

Foreign & Domestic: THE RED SHOES
A landmark in film style and themes, THE RED SHOES has become a touchstone to cineastes, lovers of dance, and filmmakers ranging from Vincente Minnelli to Martin Scorsese. Thanks to this truly eye-opening restoration, which employed a state-of-the-art blend of photochemical and digital technology, the film's shockingly sumptuous color palette and revolutionary treatment of dance on film may now be rediscovered and savored anew.

Beginning January 20th

THE GOONIES Movie Party
HEY YOU GUUUUUUUYS! It’s time to party with the Goonies. Join us as we celebrate this beloved ‘80s classic in an immersive, interactive screening complete with eyepatches, pirate bandanas, and your very own treasure.

THE LORD OF THE RINGS: RETURN OF THE KING Extended Edition
The monumental conclusion to Peter Jackson’s definitive trilogy extended and on the big screen. This is essential viewing for any Ringer, or anyone even remotely interested in movies, that won all the awards at that year’s Oscars. Théoden’s speech before charging into battle is worth the price of admission alone. Chills every time.

LAST ACTION HERO
Arnold Schwarzenegger's fourth-wall-breaking, cinema-defying action bonanza is an exceptional send up of over-the-top action movies that Arnold himself helped popularize. Unappreciated in its time, we now know that LAST ACTION HERO is one of the finest films that Arnold ever put to screen.

CABARET Brunch
A divinely decadent experience from master choreographer and director Bob Fosse, made all the more indulgent with our tasty brunch menu.

ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD
Quentin Tarantino’s take on Tinseltown is as mesmerizing, subversive, and unforgettable as you would expect. Anchored by an astounding cast including the likes of Leonardo Dicaprio, Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie, Al Pacino, Dakota Fanning, Tim Roth, and more, this revisionist take on one of the most tumultuous times in Hollywood’s history is essential viewing.

Wild Things: UNDER THE SKIN
A staggering piece of experimental sci-fi from elusive filmmaker Jonathan Glazer with a mesmerizing, unforgettable performance from Scarlett Johansson. This one will stick with you long after the credits roll.

Foreign & Domestic: THE KILLING OF A CHINESE BOOKIE
Not to be confused with Yorgos Lanthimos’ THE KILLING OF A SACRED DEER (that is a VERY different movie), director John Cassavetes renders this love letter to the art of theater with a hallucinatory eye, subverting genre conventions with his unsettled rhythms and a sweetly absurdist tone.

Beginning January 27th

Graveyard Shift: KILLER KLOWNS FROM OUTER SPACE
A gonzo phantasmagoria of outrageous kills and alien clown antics, this ‘80s classic is about as unique as they come. Filled with diabolical bozos hellbent on turning the human race into food mowing down the local populace in increasingly ridiculous ways (including carnivorous shadow puppets and popcorn blasters) this demented, out-of-this-world carnival of horror remains a classic.

SINGIN’ IN THE RAIN Brunch
What a glorious feeling it is to experience this dazzling musical from the Golden Age of Cinema made all the more glorious by experiencing it with our tasty brunch menu.

Wild Things: AUDITION
If you’re familiar with prolific director Takashi Miike’s other works, including ICHI THE KILLER, then you might have some idea of what you’re in for in this demented, nerve-shredding exploration of male fears that shocked the world upon release. If not, buckle up. This is an intense ride that any fan of horror should go on at least once.

Foreign & Domestic: HOOP DREAMS
An unflinching look at the passion and determination of two young men giving all of themselves to the game filmed over a five-year span. This remarkable true story is a perfect reflection of contemporary American inner-city culture.

Perfect for first-time players and seasoned D&D veterans alike, our original campaigns will be hosted by professional Game Masters from some of the most trusted names in the RPG world. You can expect expert guidance through the quest while you focus on advancing forward with a group of friends or making new ones while you play with a group of fellow adventurers.

JOIN US FOR A SPECIAL SCREENING WITH Q&A FEATURING CO-DIRECTOR/PRODUCER RAJ PATEL

In the face of catastrophic climate change, people are urged to Think Globally, Act Locally. That ideal is poignantly illustrated in Raj Patel and Zack Piper’s eye-opening documentary, THE ANTS & THE GRASSHOPPER. It follows a group of Malawians led by Anita Chitaya as they travel across the US to meet with climate skeptics and despairing farmers about how their actions at home have contributed to devastating consequences across the world. Crossing all the divisions shaping the US, from the rural-urban divide, to schisms of race, class and gender, to the thinking that allows Americans to believe they live on a different planet from everyone else, their journey is a stunning wakeup call for climate action. Don't miss this special screening of THE ANTS & THE GRASSHOPPER followed by a live Q&A with co-director/producer Raj Patel.

A SACRED MANUAL MUST BE GUARDED AGAINST THE WORLD'S GREATEST ASSASSINS

Upon the empire’s fall to invading conquistadors, the 16th-century Incas quickly concealed a sacred manual containing the secrets behind their deadly fighting technique. But after centuries of careful safeguarding, the manual is again at risk of falling into the wrong hands, leaving its rightful guardian to battle the world’s greatest assassins to protect the ancient secrets within.

This refreshing twist on the martial arts genre is presented by our friends at Fantastic Fest and will open exclusively at Alamo Drafthouses across the country on April 4th and 5th before debuting as a Hi-YAH! original.


 
ALAMO DRAFTHOUSE ANNOUNCES IMMERSIVE POP-UP FOR WES ANDERSON’S “ASTEROID CITY”

1686708399220.png


For the next 2 weeks guests are invited to visit the sights of ASTEROID CITY at Alamo Drafthouse Lower Manhattan with themed decorations, costume displays, limited-edition collectibles, and more.

At a gala sneak preview event last night in lower Manhattan, Alamo Drafthouse Cinema and visionary director Wes Anderson lifted the curtain on a faithful recreation of ASTEROID CITY. The cinema-eatery’s lobby and bar were unrecognizable after being transformed into the titular town for a unique, immersive experience. Guests arrived at an entryway fully wrapped in art from the film before exploring the sights of ASTEROID CITY, including a replica of the Arid Plains Meteorite, an alien-themed gift shop, an Asteroid Day-themed bar, a costume display, and multiple photo opportunities that pulled them into Wes Anderson’s vision of the fantastical desert town. This one-of-a-kind experience is free and open to the public from June 13th to June 26th. ASTEROID CITY opens at Alamo Drafthouse Brooklyn on June 16th before expanding to locations across the country on June 23rd. Tickets are available now at drafthouse.com

The invite-only event at Alamo Drafthouse Lower Manhattan was just the beginning of the ASTEROID CITY festivities, and the evening was capped off with an Advance Screening of the new film at Alamo Drafthouse Brooklyn attended by some very special guests, including Wes Anderson, Adrian Brody, Jeffrey Wright, Rupert Friend, Stephen Park, Hope Davis, Jake Ryan, Jeff Goldblum, Jason Schwartzman, and Maya Hawke. After the show, they joined Tim League, Alamo Drafthouse Founder and Executive Chairman, for a live conversation about the film. The Q&A was also live streamed to other Advance Screenings at Alamo Drafthouse theaters across the country.

“Leaning in and helping to spread the good word about films we love is our entire reason for existence at Alamo,” says Tim League, founder of Alamo Drafthouse Cinema. “Anyone who loves cinema needs to watch ASTEROID CITY. It’s vibrant, beautiful, funny, and downright enchanting.”

Alamo Drafthouse has a long history of creating unique experiences for Wes Anderson’s films, including temporarily renaming West Anderson Lane in Austin to Wes Anderson Lane for THE FRENCH DISPATCH, inviting dozens of dogs to watch ISLE OF DOGS, and assembling hundreds of pink Mendl’s boxes for photo ops for THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL.

Before sharing his thoughts on stage with audiences at Advance Screenings, star Jeffrey Wright lent his considerable gravitas to one of Alamo Drafthouse’s signature “Don’t Talk” PSAs. Guests will be treated to Wright’s vital message before screenings of ASTEROID CITY as part of the theater’s custom, ad-free pre-shows, and can also watch it at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGPq54F2pxI.

Fans who weren’t able to make the Advance Screenings can still have a unique ASTEROID CITY experience at one of Alamo Drafthouse’s exclusive Chili Supper Screenings. Guests will enjoy a custom, pre-set menu, featuring chili, hotdogs, grilled cheese, themed popcorn, and the ASTEROID CITY/Dogfish Head beer collaboration, Asteroid City Lager. Attendees will be encouraged to show their enthusiasm by dressing up as their favorite Wes Anderson character. Tickets are on sale now at drafthouse.com/event/special-menu-asteroid-city-chili-supper-screening.

Fans can also take home a limited-edition ASTEROID CITY lunchbox and thermos set when they pre-order their tickets online or via the Alamo Drafthouse app. This must-have collectible is also available for purchase at select Alamo Drafthouse theaters while supplies last.

Fans on the West Coast can visit the Landmark Theatres Sunset in Los Angeles for a special two-week ASTEROID CITY pop-up experience beginning on Thursday, June 15th. Additional information can be found here.
