We’ve mapped out 27 of the best movie theaters in L.A., from the TCL Chinese and the New Beverly to the Alamo Drafthouse and which AMC reigns in Burbank. “Unsung Hero” is co-written and co-directed by Joel Smallbone (with Richard L. Ramsey) and he also stars in the film playing his own father, who eventually managed the music careers of For King & Country, and Joel’s sister Rebecca St. James. Their siblings work in the family business as managers, lighting directors and documentarians (they all make cameos in the film), and there’s a sense of can-do collaboration among the tight-knit Smallbone family. This theme runs throughout the film and it makes sense that Joel would undertake the telling of his family’s own story in such an intimate way. Alamo Drafthouse’s newest location features its Premium Large Format theater, The Big Show, with state-of-the-art immersive audio and projection technology. There's movie theater popcorn and then there's Alamo Drafthouse Cinema popcorn.

The company’s highly anticipated first Manhattan location, Alamo Drafthouse Lower Manhattan, is a 14-screen theater in the Financial District at 28 Liberty, and is expected to open in the Fall 2021. Alamo Drafthouse Lower Manhattan will be the home of The Press Room, a brand-new museum, letterpress print shop, bar, and event space. The collection will also come to life every weekend as The Press Room’s 1938 Vandercook letterpress will be inked and fired up to produce souvenir postcards and prints drawn from the collection. The circuit will also be entering new markets in the coming years, including St. Louis, Chicago, Birmingham, and Boston—with an additional city expected to be announced this fall.

In Brooklyn, the F&B team was initially too intimidated to include pizza on the menu. They only introduced it after realizing pizza was prevalent everywhere else in Brooklyn and their own recipe could hold its own. Before the supply chain disruption caused by the pandemic in 2020, Alamo Drafthouse built its menus around a philosophy of 70 percent core items and 30 percent local fare from area vendors. This allowed the flexibility to craft food and alcohol menus to suit local tastes. League ran that movie theater in California as an art house, side by side with his girlfriend, Karrie, who quit her job to manage its operations.

Alamo Drafthouse Cinema

A September 2018 Market Force Information survey of nearly 13,000 moviegoers across the country gave Alamo Drafthouse the #1 ranking for Favorite Movie Theater, Best Service, and all food and beverage-related categories. The design of Departures draws inspiration from both the cinema’s proximity to the airport as well as the Art Deco style of the building’s exterior, a style which enjoyed its peak during the Golden Age of Flight in the 1920’s. The terrazzo flooring spilling from the open lobby into the 25 person oval-shaped bar evokes the feeling of a vintage lounge found within an airport gate. The blue and white palette of the space was inspired by the branding of the old airlines like Pan-Am and bold graphic wallpapers along with columns wrapped in polished metals aim to transport guests back to the heyday of air travel. Flight inspired movie posters and props can be found throughout and pay homage to the iconic moments of airplanes in the movies.

The endeavor required dramatically enhanced safety protocols, HVAC upgrades, and state-of-the-art technology upgrades. Many of Alamo Drafthouse’s COVID-era innovations, including pre-ordering food and beverages and Your Own Private Alamo personal theater bookings, will remain part of the company’s model going forward. Alamo Drafthouse is also excited to officially announce two new locations from franchise partners Cojeaux Cinemas, LLC.

The final movie shown was Night Warning, with star Susan Tyrrell attending. After the movie, audience members were allowed to disassemble their seats and take them home as souvenirs of the theater. Washington, D.C.— October 19, 2022 — On Monday, October 24th, acclaimed cinema-eatery Alamo Drafthouse Cinema will welcome film lovers to the movies in a big way at the company’s newest location in the Washington, D.C. The theater has 11 screening rooms that will show new box office movies as well as throwback classics and movies that fit curated themes. After graduating in 2013, Austin felt like the right place to relocate, given its rich film culture and opportunities.

Entertainment

Alamo Drafthouse D.C., the company’s first theater to be located in D.C. Proper, is a 9-screen theater located at Bryant Street in northeast Washington, D.C. And is expected to open Winter 2021, and Alamo Drafthouse National Landing, a 9-screen theater located in the Crystal City neighborhood of Arlington, Virginia, is expected to open Spring 2022.

In a wealthy enclave, a recently retired newsman has invited his grown children to dinner to announce his intentions to enlist in the nation’s new euthanasia program. Since 2022, Isgar has held the film programmer gig for the theater chain, which also boasts a location in Los Angeles. (The chain is reportedly exploring sale opportunities.) In that position, he helps to oversee nationwide repertory and indie bookings. Yet, his involvement with Alamo extends much further back, having started out as a volunteer there and then venturing through a number of paid positions before moving into national marketing. He moved from Austin, Texas, (where Alamo is headquartered) to the Bay Area in 2019. The Leagues’ entrepreneurial enthusiasm was met with a wave of rejections as they attempted to find a spot in one of the city’s burgeoning entertainment districts.

Cojeaux Cinemas, LLC also operates three other Alamo Drafthouse franchises in Virginia. In 2006, due to rising rent in downtown Austin, theater owners took steps to hand the theater over to a non-profit group called the "Heroes of the Alamo" foundation, operating the theater as a cultural arts center. However, with the historic Ritz Theater on 6th Street offered as an alternative location, the original Alamo was closed. The final event at the original site consisted of a special triple-feature event on the evening of June 27, 2007.

It’s unclear if the talks are ongoing or how close the company is to a potential acquisition. Alamo Drafthouse Cinema currently maintains about 40 venues across the United States and recently announced a new theater coming to Naples, Fla. A big university town with a vibrant film scene, the Texas capital was a center of 1990s counterculture. Filmmaker Richard Linklater, the founder of the Austin Film Society, had helped establish a grassroots cinephile community in Austin. It was an ideal site to launch a new theater … if they could secure a lease and the capital to open it.

Austin was undergoing a transformative real estate boom in the late 1990s; landlords weren’t looking to lease space to a mom-and-pop movie theater without a proven track record. Eventually, they found space in what Tim calls “the second floor of a parking garage, basically an unrentable space,” but in a part of town they believed could work in the long run. The Leagues scraped together as much money as they could, taking on loans from their parents, and remodeling the space themselves over the next six months.

The film is a biographical drama about the Smallbone family, a large brood from Australia who immigrated to Nashville in the early 1990s, following father David’s dreams of working as a promoter in the music industry. The Alamo Time Capsules program was developed by John Smith, Jake Isgar, and Jenny Nulf from the company’s Alternative Content department. Distribution partners for Alamo Time Capsules include the American Genre Film Archive, Janus Films, Kino Lorber, Lionsgate, Paramount, Park Circus, Rialto Pictures, Sony Pictures Classics, Sony Pictures Repertory, and Warner Bros. Alamo Time Capsule 1989 is nearly here, with ‘80s essentials like DO THE RIGHT THING, BATMAN, BACK TO THE FUTURE PART II, and ROAD HOUSE all returning to our screens. On top of that, we’ll be celebrating moms, dads, and Pride with films that showcase all three. In May 2003, Travis Doss opened the first Alamo franchise location (West Oaks Mall) in Houston, Texas with six screens.

By that time, Tim and Karrie had gotten married and were determined to find a way to realize their dream as exhibitors in a new market where they could build on their experience in Bakersfield. The couple moved into Karrie’s parents’ house for six months to analyze opportunities, eventually settling on Austin, Texas, as their next destination. The retrospective — the largest and most comprehensive in the company’s history — runs throughout 2024 and will include nearly 150 different selections. Upcoming Time Capsule collections will include special merchandise, custom Alamo Drafthouse menus, and special events. The year 1999 kicks off the program with films like “Being John Malkovich,” “The Iron Giant,” “Cruel Intentions,” “Pretty Woman,” “Jawbreaker,” “The Matrix,” and “Run Lola Run” screening.

Film is a collaborative medium and memoir requires a certain acknowledgment of the author’s creation.

In addition to movies, Alamo Drafthouse offers a full bar and a scratch-made food menu. Pasolini, who is London-based, tells Deadline the idea was sparked by an newspaper article he read about a young father searching for a home for his son. He did months of interviews with adoption agencies, social services, families, and the people who help them face with critical decisions. And, “I put in what I remember about bringing up three little girls,” he tells Deadline.
