Attention, gamers! 

Have you ever wanted to traverse the open world of Assassin’s Creed on the big screen? Show off your Animal Crossing island in widescreen? How about challenging your friends to the biggest game of Super Smash Bros or Mario Kart available? Can you rent a movie theater to play video games?

Sounds like an awesome idea, right? Well at your local Angelika Film Center, you can!

By clicking the link on our homepage, you can request to Host an Event at the Angelika Film Center! Once you complete our form, we’ll reach back out to you to plan your event, from hours to snacks, to rent out a theater for a private gaming session. 

The cinemas are your digital playground – enjoy fresh popcorn and sip on your favorite drinks while you play your favorite games on your very own consoles. Whether you’re interested in celebrating a brand-new game, a company get-together for your business, or an epic birthday party for your favorite gamer, the Angelika Film Center is your perfect gaming getaway.

Our auditoriums will give you access to experience your favorite video games with Barco 2K and 4K Digital Projection, Dolby Digital 5.1 and 7.1 surround sound, on-screen computer projection (Apple and Windows capable), and Blu-Ray and DVD projection onto the big screen! 

With wall-to-wall screens, several of our theaters also have high-speed internet access, customizable light and sound, and assisted listening devices available – so everybody can participate in this fully-immersive video gaming experience together!

All you need to do is bring your own console and game, and our team will be able to hook it up to the projector so you can play your favorite games on the big screen! We have on-screen computer projection available at all theaters, so you have endless gaming options. Whether you would prefer PC gaming, Xbox, Playstation, Nintendo consoles (or others!), we’ve got you covered at the Angelika Film Center. 

Several of our theaters include high-speed internet access, where you could even partake in online gaming, like World of Warcraft! 

While you can bring in your own food, several of our locations also include catering menus, ranging from popcorn to pizza to beer and coffee selections. You can find all of our menus on our website: www.angelikafilmcenter.com. When contacting our team, ask us about catering deals! Deals will differ depending on location and availability. Certain theaters (Angelika Film Center in New York, Angelika Mosaic, Angelika Dallas, Angelika Plano, and Angelika Carmel Mountain) have their own cafes with dinner options for all of your guests, as well as popcorn, candy, soda and other small snacks available at all of our theaters, ready to purchase to stay stocked up on snacks during your gaming session!

Our seat counts vary across locations, ranging from auditoriums with 50 seats to roughly 300 seats, so you’ll be able to have an amazing time for the whole group, whether that be your family, friend group, or class at school.

This amazing opportunity is easy to access!
