Alamo Drafthouse may be one of the larger novelty theaters out there, but it’s struggling like the rest of them right now. With theaters closed nationwide, all are looking for ways to keep their audiences engaged while earning a bit of revenue. Alamo has come up with a pretty cool way to do just that with Alamo-At-Home.
Alamo-At-Home basically seeks to bring the Alamo Drafthouse experience home to you. The biggest part of that is the Virtual Cinema program, a partnership with Kino Lorber, Magnolia, and Film Movement to screen their first-run films online. Just a few of the films immediately available are Oscar nominee Corpus Christi, documentary Once Were Brothers, and Brazilian Western Bacurau.
Drafthouse, of course, has a very committed base of genre fans and for them the long-running film series Terror Tuesdays and Weird Wednesdays will continue virtually. The first Terror Tuesday film will be tonight at 7pm EST, and will be a screening of 1982 Hong Kong creature feature Centipede Horror. Weird Wednesday picks things up on April 8th with a 4K restoration of Godmonster of Indian Flats.
