Deets: At a gala sneak preview event on June 12 in lower Manhattan, Alamo Drafthouse Cinema and visionary director Wes Anderson lifted the curtain on a faithful recreation of ASTEROID CITY. The cinema-eatery’s lobby and bar were unrecognizable after being transformed into the titular town for a unique, immersive experience. Guests arrived at an entryway fully wrapped in art from the film before exploring the sights of ASTEROID CITY, including a replica of the Arid Plains Meteorite, an alien-themed gift shop, an Asteroid Day-themed bar, a costume display, and multiple photo opportunities that pulled them into Wes Anderson’s vision of the fantastical desert town. This one-of-a-kind experience is free and open to the public from June 13th to June 26th. ASTEROID CITY opens at Alamo Drafthouse Brooklyn on June 16th before expanding to locations across the country on June 23rd. Tickets are available now at drafthouse.com.

Fans who weren’t able to make the Advance Screenings can still have a unique ASTEROID CITY experience at one of Alamo Drafthouse’s exclusive Chili Supper Screenings. Guests will enjoy a custom, pre-set menu, featuring chili, hotdogs, grilled cheese, themed popcorn, and the ASTEROID CITY/Dogfish Head beer collaboration, Asteroid City Lager. Attendees will be encouraged to show their enthusiasm by dressing up as their favorite Wes Anderson character. Tickets are on sale now at drafthouse.com/event/special-menu-asteroid-city-chili-supper-screening.

Fans can also take home a limited-edition ASTEROID CITY lunchbox and thermos set when they pre-order their tickets online or via the Alamo Drafthouse app. This must-have collectible is also available for purchase at select Alamo Drafthouse theaters while supplies last.

Hint for the Average Socialite: For the next 2 weeks guests are invited to visit the sights of ASTEROID CITY at Alamo Drafthouse Lower Manhattan with themed decorations, costume displays, limited-edition collectibles, and more.
