Alamo Drafthouse

Wes Anderson‘s ‘Asteroid City‘ is out June 23, but Alamo Drafthouse is hosting early screenings with a Q&A with Wes Anderson and the cast, along with collectible merch and more.

Alamo Drafthouse is taking enduring 1971 family film Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory on tour to 11 of its theaters in September,featuring post-screening Q&As with actors who played kids Veruca Salt (Julie Dawn Cole) and Mike Teavee (Paris Thenemen)…

“Bringing the coolest movie experience to ‘Shaolin’,” says RZA, “with a bar designed with the aesthetics of the Wu-Tang vibe – like Flying Guillotine – and an extensive collection of memorabilia, this location will surely be a place of many fun memories for Staten Islanders.”

Alamo Drafthouse has acquired Kim’s Video’s massive 55,000 title video collection and will make them available to rent…

Featuring 14 screens, the new NYC Alamo Drafthouse is located in the Financial District and opens on October 18.

””We are only following the guidance of the CDC and medical experts, not politicians,” Alamo writes in a new statement. They expect to continue operating normally amid filing for Chapter 11, but a few locations are set to close.

Deadline also reports it ”might be several more weeks before the doors are truly open on cinemas” in New York.

Meanwhile, the Staten Island Alamo,and its RZA-presented Flying Guillotine Bar, is still ”coming soon.”

Stuck On VHS: A Visual History of Video Store Stickers is out January 20.

There are other screenings around the country, too, including Brooklyn this month.
