UPDATE: Landmark Sunset has extended its Asteroid City pop-up experience until July 10! When you purchase the Junior Stargazer package, you’ll also receive an exclusive limited edition T-shirt.
Have you ever wanted to live in a Wes Anderson film? Well, if you’re in Los Angeles this June, it looks like you can. Just head over to the Landmark Theatres Sunset for the official Asteroid City pop-up experience.
Wes Anderson’s new film will take over all five screens of the theater for the first two weeks of its theatrical run. The theater itself will also undergo a transformation to immerse guests in the world of Asteroid City.
Brimming with vibrant colors and the unique aesthetic that has come to represent a Wes Anderson film, this singular experience will transport fans into another world. Guests will have the opportunity to explore the fictional town of Asteroid City in person while capturing photos with set re-creations, props from the film, and costume displays. The theater’s concession area will also transform into the 1950’s luncheonette seen in the movie. Plus, interactive elements inspired by the film’s fictional town will appear throughout the space.
“Landmark Theatres is proud to have innovative and collaborative studio partners like Focus Features, that like us, remain committed to celebrating specialty films like Wes Anderson’s latest, ASTEROID CITY. We’re excited to unveil our latest Landmark location by dedicating our entire Sunset complex to this fully immersive experience,” said Kevin Holloway, President of Landmark Theatres.
Asteroid City takes place in a fictional American desert town circa 1955, when the itinerary of a Junior Stargazer/Space Cadet convention is spectacularly disrupted by world-changing events.
“Watching a Wes Anderson movie is an incredibly unique experience that can often feel like you’re stepping into an entirely new universe,” said Lisa Bunnell, President of Distribution at Focus Features. “We’re excited to partner with our friends at Landmark Theatres to bring his newest film to life with this pop-up and give fans the opportunity to experience a bit of Wes’ magic in person.”
The Asteroid City pop-up experience at the Sunset Landmark will officially open with preview screenings on Thursday, June 15, running daily until June 30. In addition to standard admission tickets, fans can also purchase premium experience tickets, which include a movie ticket, an exclusive t-shirt, and concessions.
