Laemmle Theatres & EAT|SEE|HEAR Produce a New Weekly Throwback Thursday Film Series
New #TBT Throwback Thursday Series Kicks Off with "Swimming With Sharks" on Thursday, June 4 at Laemmle Playhouse 7 Theatre in Pasadena Opening Night, Every Attendee Will Have a Chance to Win a Pair of Tickets to any upcoming Laemmle film plus a free large popcorn and drink
Los Angeles, CA, July 2, 2015 (Newswire.com) - Eat|See|Hear- L.A.'s premier outdoor movie, food truck and live music event series, and Laemmle Theaters today announced the first eight movies of their 2015 Throwback Thursday (#TBT) schedule featuring an offbeat mix of older nostalgic and cult films. #TBT runs every single Thursday night beginning May 28 through 2016 at rotating Laemmle Theaters across Los Angeles.
Each night will feature a themed FOOD TRUCK for patrons to grab dinner and a movie! For instance, a truck serving French cuisine (frog legs) may accompany a screening of The Triplets of Belleville. All movie-goers (not just those attending Throwback Thursday) will be allowed to bring food truck items inside the venue.
With respect to the "Hear" aspect, patrons will relax inside the auditorium to playlists specifically curated for each event as they wait for the program to start. What's more, on certain occasions, celebrities connected to the film will be on hand to make a special presentation or stay afterward for a Q&A.
Tickets and more info will be available on Eat|See|Hear's Website.
Sharon Sperber, Executive Producer at Eat|See|Hear says, “We have partnered with Laemmle Theatres on a variety of events over the last number of years so it was a natural fit for us to join forces to create a regular weekly series designed to show movies we want to see again on the big screen and think everyone else should check out the experience in a theater environment, too.”
Greg Laemmle, President of Laemmle Theatres, concurs: “Working with Eat|See|Hear on Throwback Thursdays allows us to create innovative, event-style programming for our various communities. In addition, it gives movie buffs a chance to experience theatrically a great selection of eclectic titles that don't typically get shown on the repertory circuit. And there's going to be great food – so what's not to love?"
Plans for the series include films that have connections to upcoming major releases, such as WESTWORLD in honor of the upcoming Jurassic World and the cult movie SHOWGIRLS timed with the release of Magic Mike XXL. There will also be monthly themes such as “Summer/Beach Movies,” “Back to School,” “Music Films” (not to be confused with Musicals) and a Gangster series featuring such movies as GOODFELLAS and MARRIED TO THE MOB.
Tickets are $12 and may be purchased online on the Laemmle Theatre's website or at the theater. As with regular screenings, discounts are available for children, seniors, and Laemmle Premiere Card holders.
