What is Fathom Events?
Fathom Events is the host of cinematic experiences that offer high quality, affordable entertainment events broadcast to the big screen. Audiences get the best seat in the house – in the comfort and convenience of their local movie theater – for live and pre-recorded concerts, world-class opera, sporting events, comedy acts, original programming featuring the biggest names in radio and television and many more.
Many events include exclusive behind-the-scenes content and special extras, giving audiences unique experiences that they can’t see at home. This is all made possible by Fathom’s live digital broadcast network (DBN). What began in 2002 as a test in a few cinemas has turned into a popular alternative entertainment trend that has seen substantial growth over the past several years.
Fathom Events is the recognized leader in the alternative entertainment industry and is co-owned by the three largest movie theater circuits in the United States: AMC Entertainment Inc., Cinemark Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: CNK) and Regal Entertainment Group (NYSE: RGC). -

Are Fathom Events like regular movies?
No. Fathom Events turn movie theaters into event venues. Unlike regular movies, Fathom Events are shown on screen in cinemas for only one night or for limited-run encores. Each and every event features exclusive content that can’t be seen anywhere else. A Fathom Event is truly a one-of-a-kind experience.
Ticketing for Fathom Events are available on this website and at participating movie theater box offices. We encourage advanced ticket purchases so admission can be guaranteed. Seating is on a first-come, first-serve basis, and can be very limited for these exclusive events.
Since a Fathom Event isn’t your typical movie theater experience, feel free to applaud, dance or sing-along! -
