Austin, TX – July 11, 2019 – Austin-based cinema-eatery Alamo Drafthouse Cinema will screen “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” on 35mm at 19 locations across the country – by far the widest 35mm run of any theatrical circuit – including three locations in Dallas-Ft. Worth. Each 35mm screening will feature vintage 35mm trailers from the non-profit film archive AGFA. The film will also have an exclusive 70mm run at Alamo Drafthouse New Mission in San Francisco, one of only five in the nation to play the film on the widescreen celluloid format.
Tickets are on sale now in advance of the film’s July 26th opening for 35mm, 70mm, and digital screenings.
“We’re honored and thankful to be able to screen ‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood’ on 35mm and 70mm,” says Alamo Drafthouse founder and CEO Tim League. “We remain committed to supporting film screenings across the brand, both to celebrate the unique richness, depth and clarity of the projected film image but also to share the vast history of cinema that is only available on film.”
Tickets can be purchased with a commemorative issue of Birth.Movies.Death magazine focusing on the work of Quentin Tarantino. Guests will also be able to donate to the Will Rogers Motion Pictures Pioneers Foundation when they purchase tickets to “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.” The Foundation’s Pioneers Assistance Fund provides both short-term and long-term financial and medical assistance to veterans of the motion picture entertainment industry.
Because “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” is such an affectionate salute to the films and television of the late 1960s, Alamo Drafthouse is going deep with a nationwide retrospective of classic stunt-driven films.
“Don’t Try This At Home” Stunt Programming
The salute to Stunt performers will extend well into August, as the company kicks off a month-long celebration called Don’t Try This At Home. The retrospective revisits a century’s worth of ground-breaking stunt performances, from Buster Keaton’s 1928 silent film “Steamboat Bill, Jr.” to director Richard Rush’s acclaimed but rarely seen 1980 film “The Stunt Man,” to recent films like Lonely Island’s cult vehicle “Hot Rod” and George Miller’s awe-inspiring “Mad Max: Fury Road.”
Title selection may vary by location, but most Alamo Drafthouse cities can expect to see the following films this August:
- MAD MAX: FURY ROAD Movie Party
