We’re the OG’s of event cinema! We started in 2002 as a test in a few theaters, and quickly became a popular alternative for on-screen entertainment.

Are Fathom Events like regular movies?
Our events play on the big screen for a limited time – sometimes one night only – or exclusively for just a few days. They are more than just a movie! Think concerts and boxing matches, panel discussions and cast Q&A sessions broadcast live across the country in real time. . Some events even include a sneak peek into backstage access, talent intros and behind-the-scenes bonus footage. We’ve also been known to bring in live talent for meet and greets and red carpets, too. We love a good photo op (so be sure to tag us @fathomevents).
