This Sunday night, March 4th, is going to be one of the biggest nights in the world of entertainment. We want you to join Bigfanboy.com at either the Angelika Film Center in Mockingbird Station (their Dallas theater) or the historic Texas Theatre in Oak Cliff. Come grab a FREE seat to watch Hollywood’s biggest night on the BIG screen, the way it’s meant to be seen, in HD no less. At the Angelika, we’ll have exciting prize drawings at every commercial break, and free movie-related goodies for all attendees. It’s going to be the coolest way to see some of the past year’s films get honored and celebrated. Seats are FREE, we begin seating at 6pm Sunday evening. Seating is only available until it runs out, so arriving early isn’t a bad idea. Past events like this have filled up fast. Please note, unlike years past we are NOT giving away free food, so please eat before you come. The Angelika will have standard concessions on sale, and drink specials all night – the Texas Theatre will also have standard concessions, and drinks available at the bar.
SOME OF THE ITEMS WE’LL BE GIVING AWAY INCLUDE:
Full-size and mini-posters from BLACK PANTHER
T-shirts and or caps from DEN OF THIEVES, BLACK PANTHER, Stephen King’s IT, ZOOLANDER 2, RESIDENT EVIL and more.
Cookie cutters and placemats from THE NUT JOB 2
Books from TINKER TAILOR SOLDIER SPY, THE BIG SHORT, ANOMILISA and ROOM
Soundtracks from various films
Plush horns from FERDINAND
Posters from PACIFIC RIM 2, TOMB RAIDER, READY PLAYER ONE and more.
Like previous parties we’ll have a variety of movie-related t-shirts to giveaway, very random, but most everyone who arrives early will get a shirt – these will go FAST this year, we won’t have as many as normal.
(side note – most of the giveaways and prizes will be at the Angelika, not the Texas Theatre)
The Angelika is currently showing several Academy Award-nominated films including PHANTOM THREAD, THREE BILLBOARDS OUTSIDE OF EBBING MISSOURI, MOLLY’S GAME, THE POST and CALL ME BY YOUR NAME. Check these Oscar contenders out between now and Sunday night. Check out our picks to win right here. Please note, admission to any of the above mentioned films follows standard admission pricing. The only FREE seating is Sunday night hanging out with us.
Put on your best attire, or come casual – your choice. We’ll have a few photographers taking snapshots of the evening, which we’ll post online afterward, and who knows what local celebrities might shows up. The bar will be open to purchase alcoholic beverages, and the concession stands will be selling the usual goodies as well. This is going to be a night you won’t want to miss. Join us, and tell your friends to come too!
