After Beyonce’s Renaissance Movie And Broadway’s Waitress On Fathom, I Think Special Events Are My New Favorite Movie Theater Outings

0 42


The state of the film industry has been in a unique place since the pandemic, where it was unclear if the business would even be able to survive. It did just that, although even MCU movies like The Marvels struggled at the box office. Most recently a number of exciting events have hit theaters, such as Taylor Swift’s Eras film and Beyonce’s Renaissance. And after seeing Renaissance as well as Broadway’s Waitress thanks to Fathom, I think special events are my new favorite movie theater outing.

There’s something special about going to the cinema, including wolfing down a bucket of buttery popcorn. But while concerns about superhero fatigue are growing, special events have brought something new and exciting to theaters. I loved seeing Renaissance as someone who missed the tour, and recently followed that up with Waitress’ proshot, which felt like seeing Disney+’s Hamilton on the big screen. I had a blast with both of these events, which makes me think I should try and see more of them.

The Renaissance film scratched a serious itch for me, helping to cure my FOMO from not seeing the tour in person. I finally got to dance with my friends, participate on the mute challenge, plus so much more. When I bought tickets for Waitress for the next week, I wasn’t sure if it would be able to bring me quite as much joy.

But it did just that. Despite the fact that I’d seeing Waitress twice on Broadway before it closed, the movie event that arrived in theaters via Fathom offered something new: seeing pop star Sara Bareilles in the leading role of Jenna. She wrote the show’s music, but didn’t play the role on stage until its final days. So paying the money to see the filmed version offered me the chance to see and hear her belt out those tracks up and close.
