FIRST NIGHT AT THE RITZ - Double Feature!

Rated Unknown

Location: Alamo Downtown

After months of hard work, we are finally ready to launch the new ship. With the Alamo Ritz, we have attempted to preserve all of the good things about the original flagship Alamo location, but solve a lot of the issues that came with building the place on a frayed-shoestring budget. Check out the Ritz show listings that will be updated this week and you will find that we have brought back all of our signature shows and events, replete with celebrity appearances, goofy gimmickery, and potentially dangerous stunts. We’ve also got quite a few surprises in store for you as well, not the least of which is a screen dedicated to first-run films. We’ll be showcasing small boutique films such as KING CORN and CONFESSIONS OF A SUPERHERO, as well as big Hollywood films such as I AM LEGEND and NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN. We look forward to reuniting with our seemingly exiled audience at the Ritz in November and December, and if everything goes well, for decades to come.

Similar to the closing night of the original Drafthouse on Colorado Street, we are kicking things off on November 1 with a diverse triple feature of signature Alamo fun and excitement. The first feature is a food and film feast, and the Double Feature here includes:

Show #2: Sneak Preview of NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN 9:45 PM Everything we have heard about the new film by the Coen Brothers has been fabulous. Without a doubt, among the Alamo programmers, this is the most anticipated movie of the year and we will be celebrating our opening night at the new space right along side you all watching this one in giddy excitement. We'll have vintage Coen Brothers trailers before the film and more surprises TBA.

Show #3: The very first Terror Thursday at the Ritz: Midnight We can't yet announce the special midnight screening for grand opening, but I guarantee that it will jump start this signature series with an 80,000 volt electric shock.

Double feature tickets to get into NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN and TERROR THURSDAY will be $40.

We'll see you on Sixth Street!

Kid Policy: 18 and up; Children 6 and up will be allowed only with a parent or guardian. No children under the age of 6 will be allowed.
