We highly encourage our audience to have breakfast, lunch, dinner/drinks at next door’s Grand Central Market with your choice of dozens of cuisines. You can bring Grand Central Market food and drink into the theater.
Be prepared that we always have a DCP.digital backup just in case. But when we say 35mm that means we have secured a 35mm print for this event!
LOCATION: The Million Dollar Theater, 307 S Broadway, Los Angeles, CA 90013
PARKING: Please note that we have a limited number of all-day validated parking tickets available at the Grand Central Market Parking Garage, 308 S Hill St, Los Angeles, CA 90013 accessible on Hill Street just past 3rd Street. Please make sure to purchase a validated parking ticket here as an ADD ON and we will hand it to you when you enter the theater. There are also very close parking lots at the corner of 3rd and Hill Street, just a half block from theater. However we can't offer validation for those lots. . .yet.
New day, new alien monsters/problems for giant turtle Gamera, our defender of the earth. A hive-like alien creature spawned by one bad-ass Queen (James Cameron’s ALIENS has got nothing on the reproducing powers of this alien B) attacks Japan. Psychic Asagi, now a teenager, again bonds with Gamera to save the earth. The effects and chaos reach mind-boggling levels in a sequel even better than the first movie.
Bring the family. Be prepared to have your mind blown and your eyes melted. Gamera will save the world. He will also destroy a bunch of stuff.
We continue our Kaiju Colossus Labor Day weekend marathon with more stone cold 90’s and 00’s kaiju classics. There are four more. . .(If you'd like to attend part or all of the day, make sure you get an all-day pass and save money).
Finally, if you’d like to support Secret Movie Club and its mission to nurture, support, and exhibit amazing movies and narrative storytelling work from everyone from celebrated masters to dynamic world voices to emerging local young filmmakers, please email us at community@secretmovieclub.com . We can discuss exciting and substantial ways you can support and be part of the journey. We’re planning special series, festivals, workshops, Q&As, premieres, and more in our 2025-2026 season which we aim to make our biggest season of cinema yet.
Secret Movie Club is here to help write the next chapter of cinema.
