Cinespia Launches Summer Season Including Rose Bowl Screening of ‘Almost Famous’ (EXCLUSIVE)

Cinespia has announced the first screenings to kick off its 23rd summer season of outdoor screenings around Los Angeles, and will host a first-time screening at Pasadena’s Rose Bowl Stadium. Upcoming viewings include “Mamma Mia!” on May 10, “Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers” on May 17 at Los Angeles State Historic Park and “Almost Famous” on May 25 at the Rose Bowl Stadium.

“We’re thrilled to be back for our 2024 summer season with an amazing initial lineup of films,” said John Wyatt, founder of Cinespia.

“Almost Famous” (2000) follows 15-year-old journalist William Miller (Patrick Fugit) pursuing his dream assignment from Rolling Stone and navigating the music industry. The star-studded cast includes Kate Hudson, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Zooey Deschanel and Frances McDormand.

Food is permitted, but no outside alcohol will be allowed at the Rose Bowl Stadium screening.

“Mamma Mia!” here we go again! Set to the music of Swedish pop-star band ABBA, the 2008 film follows hotelier Donna (Meryl Streep) and her daughter Sophie’s (Amanda Seyfried) search for her father before her wedding day. J.R.R. Tolkien’s sequel “The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers” follows Frodo Baggins (Elijah Wood) and other members of the Fellowship of the Ring on their journey to destroy the One Ring. Outside food and alcohol are permitted at both screenings at the Los Angeles State Historic Park.

Additional screenings for the upcoming season and at Hollywood Forever Cemetery will be announced at a later date.

Presented by Amazon MGM Studios, screenings include DJ sets, a beer and wine bar, concession stands and a free photo booth. Moviegoers may bring their own blankets, food and drinks. Tickets can be purchased at cinespia.org.
