Los Angeles Latinx Film Festival 2026

Jul 16 – Jul 20, 2026 Let Live Theater, Los Angeles, CA …

The screen has eighty seats, and nobody involved is apologizing for that number. At this size the filmmaker is not behind a rope somewhere. They are in row four. The Q&A after the credits stops being a promotional exercise and turns into a working session, because the audience asks real questions and gets real answers, and the conversation keeps going out on the sidewalk afterward. Films that would vanish inside a larger festival find the exact people they were made for. For ten years this has been the room for work studios would not risk and networks would not greenlight — the specific, the personal, the stories told from inside instead of about. That mandate has not gotten one bit easier. Accepted filmmakers get passes, networking, and award consideration; everyone else gets a Q&A after every single screening. Bring the friend who keeps saying nobody makes movies for them anymore. Watch their face when the person who made it is sitting two rows ahead.

Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey

Jul 17 – Jul 19, 2026 From $15 Major theaters nationwide, USA (+I…

The storms, the scope, the homecoming - all of it built for the room, for a screen size and a sound system the cinematographer assumed when they framed it. A 65-inch television approximates The Odyssey; the real IMAX screen fulfills it. The filmmaker who rebuilt the Batman mythology, turned Dunkirk into a physical experience, and made Oppenheimer the event that reminded the world what theatrical cinema could do is now directing the oldest story in the Western tradition at the largest scale available. IMAX for this - not the regular auditorium, not later at home. Nolan makes films for the room, and this is the one built to exist there. His opening weekends fill fast, and they fill with the audience that wants to see the film correctly - the people who saw Oppenheimer on 70mm, who made the drive to the best screen available. This is the summer film the theatrical experience was built for. Book IMAX before the first weekend. July 17th, 2026, at theaters nationwide including IMAX, from $15.

Rooftop Cinema Club — World Cup Final Watch Party at Porto Vista Hotel, San Diego

Jul 19, 2026 1835 Columbia St, 5th Floor, San D…

You already know where you will be on July 19. The question is whether you will watch the World Cup Final from a couch or from a rooftop overlooking San Diego Bay with a cocktail in your hand and the entire city below you holding its breath at the same time. Rooftop Cinema Club transforms the fifth floor of the Porto Vista Hotel into a watch party with sweeping views of Little Italy and the harbor. The FIFA World Cup 2026 Final kicks off at 1:00 PM Pacific on a large LED screen — the same setup that makes this one of San Diego's most coveted outdoor entertainment venues. Personal wireless headphones ensure you hear every whistle and every roar. Fresh popcorn is included with most tickets. A full bar and food menu are available. The kind of World Cup moment that becomes a story — the final watched from a San Diego rooftop in July sun, the city visible in every direction, strangers becoming friends for 90 minutes because the stakes are high enough to make you forget you just met. Located at 1835 Columbia Street, Fifth Floor. Doors open 30 to 60 minutes before kickoff. Tickets from $11 with military and student discounts.

Movies on the Roof - Westfield Fashion Square Sherman Oaks

Westfield Fashion Square puts movies on the mall roof every summer: bean bags on turf, the San Fernando Valley spread out past the screen, films that start when the sky finishes fading. The series runs through late July on Saturday evenings, benefiting Hope of the Valley: every ticket is a donation to local homelessness services. The crowd is Sherman Oaks: families, couples, friend groups who found out about this through the group chat and not a search engine. The rooftop format makes the Valley feel smaller and warmer than it usually does at night. July screenings: the 18th and 25th. Doors open at dusk, films start around 8:30pm. Bring something to sit on. The bean bags go fast.

Irvine Nights: Night Market Summer Series at Great Park

Jul 17, 2026 8000 Great Park Blvd, Irvine, CA 9…

Every Thursday evening, the same field that was an airstrip becomes something else entirely. String lights go up. Smoke rises from a dozen grills. A DJ nobody planned to hear starts playing something that makes a stranger’s toddler dance. And you realize you’re not going home yet. Irvine Nights transforms Great Park into a weekly open-air night market running every Thursday from 5pm to 9pm through summer. The format is simple: food vendors from across Orange County’s restaurant scene, local artisans and craftspeople, live entertainment, and enough space to wander without a plan. Free admission. Free parking. The only cost is whatever your nose convinces you to buy. Great Park is the 1,300-acre former Marine Corps Air Station El Toro — converted into the kind of public space that makes other cities jealous. The night market occupies the Great Park Live area, the same venue that hosts concerts and movie nights, now reconfigured into a marketplace that sprawls across the lawn. This is not a single-night event. It’s a weekly ritual — the kind that starts as “let’s check it out” and becomes “see you Thursday.” The regulars already have their route. The vendors know which corner gets the foot traffic. You’ll figure it out by week three.

The Catamaran runs outdoor movies on Mission Bay every Monday through summer, and the setting changes what watching a movie means. The water is a few feet away. The air smells like salt and sunscreen. The screen is outside in the way only San Diego can justify on a July Monday night. They show films the way the venue earns them: movies that make sense with the bay behind the screen. Tropical resort energy, bring-a-blanket, the kind of place where people show up early to claim the right spot on the grass. The analog version, sound carrying across the open air the way it always did. Monday nights June through September. Check the resort calendar for the specific film each week. The bay does not change. The movie does.

The Hotel del Coronado has been doing this since before outdoor cinema was a trend: movies on the beach, on actual sand, with the Pacific in the peripheral vision and private bonfires for the people who plan ahead. Summer 2026 lineup runs every Sunday through late October. Films skew toward crowd pleasers with cultural weight: Top Gun Maverick on the beach where it was filmed, Grease on sand under the same sky every drive-in scene was reaching for, Raiders of the Lost Ark with the ocean wind doing what it does to outdoor audio. The setting is the point. The movie is the occasion. Screenings start at 7:30pm. Reserve a bonfire if you want one. The beach fills earlier than you expect.

5 Star Theatricals presents The Wizard of Oz

Jul 10, 2026 2100 E. Thousand Oaks, Fred Kavli …

"Somewhere Over the Rainbow" in a room with real reverb is a different experience than it is anywhere else, and this is a stage built to give it that - orchestra pit, fly space, an acoustic ceiling that makes a live ensemble sound the way it is supposed to. Oz is a show people bring their kids to because their parents brought them, and that generational loop runs visibly through the audience during curtain call, which is worth staying for. 5 Star Theatricals works this room specifically, so the production design is calibrated to what the space does well: sightlines clean from nearly everywhere, a proscenium wide enough for a full company. The Kavli is 1,800 seats of genuine theatrical infrastructure, and regional theater at this level does not get enough credit. Tickets at ticketmaster.com. Pick your seat before the good sections close. Fred Kavli Theatre, Thousand Oaks, July 10th, 2026.

Pageant of the Masters 2026 — The Greatest of All Time

Jul 9, 2026 From ~$15 650 Laguna Canyon Road, Laguna Bea…

Every summer, Laguna Beach stages one of the most extraordinary spectacles in all of American art — the Pageant of the Masters, where living humans recreate famous paintings, sculptures, and works of art in breathtaking tableaux vivants. The 2026 production is titled "The Greatest of All Time," celebrating artists and art movements that defined history. Costumed performers hold perfectly still as lighting engineers sculpt them into exact three-dimensional replicas of masterworks, accompanied by a live orchestra narrating the stories behind each piece. The Pageant runs nightly at 8:30 PM from July 9 through September 4, 2026, at the iconic Irvine Bowl amphitheater — an outdoor venue cut into the Laguna hills that has hosted this tradition since 1933. The experience is unlike anything else in Southern California. One moment you're watching what appears to be a photograph of a Dutch Golden Age oil painting; then the lights shift and 20 people exhale simultaneously, reminding you it was all real. Doors open at 7:30 PM; arrive early to walk the Festival of Arts grounds alongside the venue. Parking is available in city lots along Laguna Canyon Road, with shuttle service running from overflow lots. Tickets range from approximately 5 to 00 depending on seat location and are available through the Festival of Arts box office online. This is the rare SoCal summer event that genuinely rewards making the drive — and that gets more impressive the closer you sit to the stage.

Silvers

Jul 3 – Jul 5, 2026 From $15 Major theaters nationwide, USA

Silvers opens July 3rd, 2026 at theaters nationwide from $15. A new film on the eve of the Fourth of July weekend — which means the opening night audience is the crowd that chose this over the holiday weekend's alternatives, which tells you something about what kind of film this is and what kind of audience it draws. July 4th weekend is one of the biggest moviegoing periods of the year, which means the studio chose this date deliberately and the film was built to earn its place in it. Opening weekend audiences for summer theatrical releases carry a specific energy — people arrived with expectation, the theater is full, and the collective experience of a summer film with a crowd that wanted to be there is the version the filmmakers were making for. From $15. July 3rd. Find your theater and book before the holiday weekend fills. Opening night, first weekend — this is when the communal experience of a new theatrical release is at its fullest. The film plays differently in a full house than it does in a half-empty midweek matinee. Opening weekend is the right time, and July 4th weekend is the fullest opening weekend of the summer.

Macross: Do You Remember Love? -- First Official U.S. Theatrical Screening

Jul 5, 2026 800 W Olympic Blvd, Los Angeles, C…

The film that defined the Macross franchise gets its first official US theatrical run since its original release. Not the streaming version. A theater, the original print, and an audience that knows every frame. The film itself is a theatrical retelling of the original Super Dimension Fortress Macross television series, condensed into a feature-length experience that blends mecha warfare, a love triangle, and the premise that music can end a galactic war. Directed by Noboru Ishiguro and Shoji Kawamori, the film is considered a benchmark of 1980s anime production. Its space battle sequences and character animation set standards that influenced a generation of animators. The soundtrack -- particularly Mari Iijima's original performances of Do You Remember Love? and My Boyfriend Is a Pilot -- became foundational texts of anime music culture. Worth it? Who it's for: If you have watched any Macross series, listened to Mari Iijima, or know what Valkyrie fighters are, this screening is for you -- and for the next 40 years, it will be one of those events you either attended or missed. Classic anime collector culture prizes theatrical screenings of foundational films above almost any contemporary release because of the rarity. This is a once-in-a-lifetime screening, not a revival. It is the first official time. The Novo is a 2,300-seat venue; tickets are limited. What to know before you go: The screening is Sunday July 5, 2026 at noon at The Novo by Microsoft, 800 W Olympic Blvd, Los Angeles. This is adjacent to Anime Expo 2026 (July 2-5 at LACC), making it a natural anchor for AX attendees. A BIGWEST Macross panel precedes the screening at Anime Expo (July 2, 1 PM, Room 511ABC at LACC). The Novo is walkable from the Convention Center. Buy tickets well in advance -- the collector community for this film is global, not local, and demand will exceed venue capacity. The Macross: Do You Remember Love? theatrical screening is the kind of event the anime community has waited for longer than most of its members have been alive. When licensing barriers fall, they sometimes fall for a single moment. This is that moment. July 5, 2026, The Novo, Los Angeles.

Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War has spent three arcs building toward this: The Calamity. In a limited U.S. theatrical run June 25-29, 2026, Fathom Events and VIZ Media are bringing the final arc of the TYBW saga to the big screen before its streaming premiere — three episodes, one screen, the conclusion that Bleach fans have been waiting a decade for.

For the fan who started Bleach in middle school and is now finishing it as an adult, this is the one. What to expect: three episodes of the final arc in one theatrical showing, Dolby audio, and a room full of people who have been tracking this since the manga.

Street Food Cinema closes out its June run with Bridesmaids at The Autry Museum in Griffith Park on Saturday, June 27, 2026. Doors open at 6:00 PM; film begins at dusk around 8:30 PM. The 2011 Paul Feig comedy written by and starring Kristen Wiig remains one of the most rewatchable ensemble comedies of its generation. Outdoors, with food and wine flowing and a crowd that has memorized every scene, it becomes a genuine event rather than a rewatch. The Autry Museum of the American West is located at 4700 Western Heritage Way, Los Angeles, CA 90027, in Griffith Park. Bring a blanket or low-back chairs and stake out your spot after doors open. On-site food vendors, craft beverages, and a pre-show DJ are all part of the Street Food Cinema experience. Parking is available throughout Griffith Park. Tickets are sold through the Street Food Cinema website and sell out reliably, so advance purchase is strongly recommended.

Ivy Station Outdoor Cinema: Ferris Bueller's Day Off — June 27

Jun 27, 2026 Free Ivy Station, 8800 Washington Blvd,…

They believed a summer evening in Culver City could be the kind of night you tell someone about later — and that the right movie could do more work than any designed activation. The Ivy Station outdoor screening series opens June 27 with Ferris Bueller's Day Off, a film that has been arguing for spontaneity for forty years and hasn't lost the thread. The movie is a case study in taking the day seriously — using a Tuesday like it's the last one you'll get, not something to survive. Watching it outside in summer, when the air is warm and the sun has just gone down, the argument lands differently than it does on a couch in January. You leave wanting to do something with tomorrow. Ivy Station is a few minutes from the Expo Line on Washington Boulevard, and the plaza has the proportions that make an outdoor screen feel right-sized: close enough that you're in the film, wide enough that the crowd doesn't feel like a packed venue. Come early for good real estate. Bring a blanket or chairs. Free to attend. Film starts at dusk. June 27, 2026. Ivy Station, 8800 Washington Blvd, Culver City.

Pixar’s Toy Story 5

Jun 19 – Jun 21, 2026 From $15 Major theaters nationwide, USA

Pixar built an entire generation's imagination. The Toy Story films taught children how to feel things before they had the vocabulary for it — what it means to be loved, to be left behind, to grow up, to let go. Toy Story 5 opens June 19th, 2026 at theaters nationwide, from $15, and it is arriving into a world where the people who grew up with Woody and Buzz are now the ones buying the tickets. There is a specific experience that happens in a theater during a Pixar film that doesn't exist anywhere else. Adults who thought they were just bringing their kids find themselves caught completely off guard at the end of act two. The person next to you laughs at the same moment you do. Someone in the back left section cries and makes everyone else feel something too. The shared reaction is part of the film. Opening weekend is when that energy is fullest. The theater is full of people who waited, who have opinions already, who will want to talk about it immediately after. From $15 at theaters everywhere. See it with someone who will need to process it afterward. That's the right way to watch a Pixar film — not later, not at home, in the room with everyone else while it's still new.

Plaza Theatre, 128 S Palm Canyon Dr, Palm Springs. June 21st. 42nd Street — the 1933 Warner Bros. film that is simultaneously a Depression-era backstage musical and the movie that defined what the film-musical could be — projected at the Plaza Theatre in Palm Springs, which is the venue built for this exact kind of presentation. 42nd Street is the film that coined the phrase "you're going out a youngster, but you've got to come back a star," delivered it like it was written to be delivered by Dick Powell's face at Warner Bros. in 1933, and launched Ruby Keeler's film career simultaneously. The Busby Berkeley choreography is the other thing — the overhead shots, the geometry, the scale of the numbers that no theater stage could produce. On screen, at full size, in a room with real acoustics, this is the film that created the vocabulary. Tickets at ticketmaster.com. June 21st. The Plaza Theatre is a 1936 Spanish Colonial Revival movie house that has been showing films to Palm Springs audiences for ninety years. Seeing a film from 1933 in a theater from 1936 is the version of cinema history that Palm Springs makes available. Come for the songs. Stay for the Keeler.
