Cinespia Summer Screenings 2026 — Hollywood Forever Cemetery

“Three thousand people who all know the same movie, watching…”

They believed the perfect setting for a film wasn't a dark room with assigned seats — it was a summer evening on a lawn surrounded by the people who grew up loving the same movie. Cinespia built that belief into an institution at Hollywood Forever Cemetery, and every Saturday night from July through September, they prove the argument again.

Gates open before dark, early enough to set up a blanket, pour a drink, and watch the audience arrive. The crowd brings a specific energy to films they've seen a dozen times — scenes that are known by heart land differently when thousands of people experience them simultaneously on an outdoor screen. Some nights the crowd sings along. Some nights there's silence because the scene still works, decades later, in the cemetery where the people who made it are buried.

The lineup shifts each week — cult classics, crowd favorites, films that deserve to be watched this way. Tickets sell out in advance, and the calendar fills fast once the summer schedule drops. This is not a last-minute plan.

Advance tickets required. Check cinespia.org for the 2026 lineup and schedule. Every Saturday through September. Hollywood Forever Cemetery, 6000 Santa Monica Blvd, Los Angeles.
