Special Events at Beacon

More than what's playing.

Some nights are about catching the new release. Others are about why we go to the movies in the first place. Beacon's special programming is curated to give you reasons to come back — for the films you've never seen on the big screen, the ones you've never stopped quoting, and the ones that turn dinner into an event.
