SEPTEMBER AT THE EGYPTIAN HAS ABSOLUTELY NO CHILL. 🎬🍿✨
We’re squeezing every last drop out of summer, firing up our beautiful new laser projector and charging straight into fall with toys, monsters, dinosaurs, coyotes, vampires, roller skates, arm wrestling and an entire day devoted to Western Slope filmmakers.
Honestly, we may have overdone it.
We regret nothing. 😎
Here’s what’s headed to the giant screen:
💛👹 MINIONS AND MONSTERS
Through Thursday, September 3
The Minions are finishing their run with monster-sized trouble, ridiculous mayhem and three final $6 Thursday shows. Bring the family and let them make the mess.
We’ll clean it up. 🍌
🤠🚀 TOY STORY 5
September 4–10
Woody, Buzz, Jessie and the whole gang return for a warm, funny family adventure about old-fashioned toys facing their greatest challenge yet: SCREEN TIME. 📱😱
🦖🏠 THE END OF OAK STREET
September 11–17
A perfectly ordinary neighborhood is suddenly dropped into a strange and dangerous world. Now one family has to stick together, find a way home and survive something that definitely was not covered by the homeowners association.
Also... DINOSAURS! 🦕🌴💥
💣🐺 COYOTE VS. ACME
September 18–24
After a lifetime of exploding rockets, falling boulders and defective bird-catching equipment, Wile E. Coyote is finally taking ACME to court!
Will Forte, John Cena and one extremely determined coyote enter a wildly funny battle for justice, revenge and a very overdue refund. ⚖️🧨
🎤🕺 FREE COMMUNITY SCREENING: MICHAEL
Friday, September 25
Celebrate The Egyptian’s new laser projector with MICHAEL, the story of the extraordinary talent and ambition that transformed Michael Jackson into a global icon.
Your movie ticket and popcorn are on us! Admission is free with an online RSVP, but seating is limited. 🎟️🍿✨
🎥❤️ THE FIRST DELTA EGYPTIAN FILM FESTIVAL
Saturday, September 26
You helped save our screen. Now come watch our community light it up!
It’s one full day celebrating the students, storytellers and gloriously creative movie people of the Western Slope:
🎓 10:30 a.m. – Colorado Mesa University Student Showcase
🎬 Noon – Film Exposure Program
🎤 1:00 p.m. – Western Slope Filmmaker Panel with writer and director Tycho Wade at the Delta Library Comic-Con
🎓 2:00 p.m. – CMU Tech Student Showcase
🏛️ 4:00 p.m. – CINEMORTAL
A late-night theater party becomes a terrifying mystery in the delightfully strange cult favorite filmed entirely inside The Egyptian.
Yes, THIS Egyptian. 😱🍿
🧛 7:00 p.m. – AMERICAN VAMPIRES
Grand Junction filmmaker Hank Braxtan unleashes a blood-soaked action-horror adventure filmed entirely in Grand Junction and fresh from its sold-out, standing-ovation premiere at the Avalon Theatre! 🩸🔥
CINEMORTAL and AMERICAN VAMPIRES are unrated, contain gore and language, and are not recommended for children.
🛼✨ REEL CLASSICS: TRASH ’80s – XANADU
Tuesday, September 29
Roller skates! Greek mythology! Neon lights! Olivia Newton-John! Gene Kelly! A disco soundtrack that refuses to behave! 🌈🎶
XANADU is a sparkling, gloriously over-the-top movie party made for anyone who believes subtlety is overrated.
💪🚛 REEL CLASSICS: TRASH ’80s – OVER THE TOP
Wednesday, September 30
Sylvester Stallone. Big rigs. Power ballads. Father-son bonding. Competitive arm wrestling.
Nothing says “quality family time” quite like slamming somebody’s hand onto a table in Las Vegas. 🎵💪
🚀🎸 REEL CLASSICS: TRASH ’80s – THE ADVENTURES OF BUCKAROO BANZAI ACROSS THE 8TH DIMENSION
Thursday, October 1
We’re letting September’s party spill right into October with the only movie brave enough to combine a rock star, brain surgeon, test pilot, interdimensional aliens and Jeff Goldblum dressed like a cowboy. 🤠👽⚡
No matter where you go...there you are.
September is going to be BIG, WEIRD, WONDERFUL and filled with reasons to leave the couch. Gather your family, grab your friends and come make some memories with us at The Egyptian! 🎬❤️🍿
