Deets: The Angelika Film Center & Cafe in New York City, operated by Reading International, Inc., in collaboration with Focus Features, will be the host to New York City’s first ever theatre takeover by one film. The Angelika is celebrating the premiere of Wes Anderson’s The Phoenician Scheme by taking audiences on a globetrotting adventure — without ever leaving the theatre. For two weeks starting this Thursday, May 29, not only will the Angelika exhibit The Phoenician Scheme on its screens, but the Angelika lobby and cafe will be re-designed to give moviegoers an exclusive and immersive experience, transporting them into a world of intrigue inspired by The Phoenician Scheme.
Before heading into the auditorium, guests will have a chance to order a drink from the Marseille Bob’s themed bar, complete with customized menu items including a signature champagne cocktail, strike a pose for photos with the film-inspired Egyptian elevator and vintage train, tap their feet to music as a six-piece jazz band will periodically play on the Marseille Bob’s stage throughout the opening weekend.
Film lovers can also add to their movie memorabilia collection by purchasing exclusive event-only merchandise such as character tote bags and Marseille Bob’s T-Shirts. Available while supplies last at the theatre or online at www.AngelikaFilmCenter.com.
Q&A with Writer-Director Wes Anderson and Cast Members Benicio Del Toro, Mia Threapleton and Michael Cera Friday, May 30, following the 4:40pm and 5:40pm show & Introduction by Wes Anderson Friday, May 30 for the 7:00pm & 7:20pm shows
