Now that the weather is nicer your favorite cinemas have begun releasing more fun outdoor film schedules. So grab your date, and blanket and watch a movie under the stars.
Here are our recommendations this month. Let’s start with Cinespia, the granddaddy of LA’s outdoor movie scene, taking center stage at Hollywood Forever Cemetery. This June, they’re serving up a slice of 90s nostalgia with “Dazed and Confused” (June 8th) and a trippy musical adventure with “Across the Universe” (June 15th).
For a touch of urban chic, check out Rooftop Cinema Club. Perched atop LEVEL DTLA, they’re serving up double features all June long. Catch a classic mob flick like “Goodfellas” (June 1st) or a heartwarming sports romance with “Love & Basketball” (June 15th), all with the dazzling city skyline as your backdrop.
LA’s outdoor movie scene isn’t limited to central locations. Head over to Pasadena’s One Colorado for a fun and fashionable rom-com under the stars with “Crazy Rich Asians” (June 1st). Or, dive into the world of Avatar with Street Food Cinema’s screening of “Avatar: The Last Airbender” at the Autry Museum (June 15th).
Many outdoor movie events offer more than just the film. Street Food Cinema, for example, is renowned for its delicious lineup of food trucks, ensuring you can satisfy your taste buds alongside your cinematic cravings. Cinespia often features DJs and live music before the movie starts, setting the mood for a fun night out.
