How our celebrity events work

Our very popular series of celebrity events often includes a table in our lobby where you can briefly meet the stars of some of your favorite films and get their autograph or a posed photograph with them.

These events are very expensive to stage and most celebrities are paid for their personal appearances including all expenses.

These events are often heavily attended and we always suggest that you arrive early.  Celebrities are generally scheduled to arrive one hour prior to the first scheduled showing of their film.  They may or may not be available to the public after a screening so we always suggest that you purchase a souvenir and meet them prior to entering the auditorium.  Your early arrival also helps ensure that you can enjoy the widest selection of seats when you watch the film. You must have purchased an admission ticket to get in the line to meet our guests.

Depending on the length of the line and scheduling, our guest may entertain questions from the audience and introduce the film from the stage but this is entirely discretionary and varies from event to event.  Some of our guests make an extraordinary effort to ensure a great experience, and this may back up the seating for later show times.

In most instances, there is a charge (most often $25) per autograph, whether it is a photograph or item from here at the table or something that you bring with you.   Don't forget, you must show proof of purchase of a $10 gift card or same day movie ticket in order to meet our special guest.  In some cases, we do have a professional photographer set up to take a picture with our guest, also at a nominal charge, and in those instances you may only get a posed photograph through this system.  We do take credit cards and there is also an ATM on premise.

You may always take a candid unposed photograph of our guest from elsewhere in the lobby at no additional charge.
