IMPORTANT NOTES:
**WE WILL BE EXPANDING OUR CAPACITY AND ADJUSTING TO THE NEW PROTOCOLS FOR ALL EVENTS 6/15/21 ONWARDS!
***ALL GUESTS WILL BE TAKEN THROUGH PROTOCOLS PRIOR TO ENTERING THEATER SO EVERYONE CAN HAVE A FUN AND SAFE TIME.
****Please still bring phone photos or actual vaccination cards and masks so we can continue to make sure we are keeping events as safe and worry free as possible.
HOW TO:
1)PLEASE PURCHASE ALL TICKETS FOR FOLKS IN YOUR “HOUSEHOLD” AT THE SAME TIME. THIS WILL HELP US KNOW HOW TO LAY OUT THAT DAY’S SEATING PLAN. So for example, if you are attending in a group of 3 people all of whom will be sitting together, please purchase ALL 3 TICKETS at the same time.
For the time being, we are capping the maximum “household” number to 4 tickets/4 people who can sit next to each other.
2)PLEASE BRING AND BE READY TO WEAR A PROPER MASK AT ALL TIMES INSIDE THE THEATER. While you will be able to order, eat, and drink concessions in your reserved seating area and there will be a loosening of mask restrictions, the county will still require folks not yet vaccinated to wear masks at all other times.
3)PRE-ORDER ANY CONCESSIONS OR MOVIE MERCHANDISE you would like from the additional Add-Ons. You can pick up all concessions & merchandise at our tables in our lobby prior to the screening.
We will be able to sell concessions & merchandise at the theater. But it will make everything much quicker and easier if you pre-order!
4)PLEASE BE AWARE THAT ANYONE EXHIBITING COVID OR FLU LIKE SYMPTOMS AT THE DOOR, WILL BE OFFERED COMPLIMENTARY TICKETS TO A FUTURE SHOW AND ASKED TO RETURN WHEN HEALTHY. So please, if you’re feeling sick, just write us at community@secretmovieclub.com and we’ll offer you complimentary tickets to a future screening when you’re healthy. Let’s all do our part to beat this thing so we can go back to the complete movie going experience!
Today, we continue with catching up with our Kubrick Filmmaker series with two of his most stunning, daring classics. ON 35MM! In a movie palace!
First up, Kubrick's indisputably brilliant PATHS OF GLORY starring Kirk Douglas. A searing takedown of human hypocrisy (actually couldn't almost all Kubrick movies be described this way) about a failed World War I suicide mission to take a hill and the subsequent decision by the top brass to execute three innocent soldiers involved in the botched mission as "cowards" as a lesson for the rest of the army.
Colonel Dax (an always white hot committed Kirk Douglas) who was involved in the mission and knew how foolish it was suddenly finds himself defending the three soldiers he knows are innocent against a court martial he knows is a publicity stunt.
As devastating and cinematic and insightful today as it was 60+ years ago. And Kubrick's calling card to all the large scale masterpieces he would make thereafter.
We follow this with the Kubrick movie that was the most misunderstood upon its release (along with EYES WIDE SHUT) but with time has come to be considered one of his top masterpieces 1975's Barry Lyndon.
Kubrick had labored on a movie about Napolean's life which he had to put to the side due to cost. Barry Lyndon in a way feels like the movie into which he poured all his pent up frustration, research, thoughts, feelings from this time.
Lyndon tells the story of a runaway Irishman, Redmund Barry (a never better Ryan O Neal), who learns how to con, seduce, and deceive to stay alive and advance. When he finally marries a beautiful noble woman and widow (the equally stunning Marisa Berenson), he thinks he's achieved the height of his ambition. But life, the hypocrisy of all those around him, and the mysteries of human emotion are waiting to take him down.
Kubrick famously shot the nighttime scenes in pure candlelight using NASA lenses (!!) to fully re-create the feeling of 18th century Europe. But more importantly, Kubrick used a stunning discipline in his storytelling to tell what may turn out to be his most emotionally devastating movie of all time.
Each successive generation discovers Barry Lyndon to be an actual volcano of emotion, human insight, and power. Come see it on the big screen on 35mm in movie palace!
Best always,

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS FOR OUR IN-DOOR THEATER SCREENINGS
REFUNDS:
We can offer refunds up to 24 hours before showtime. Please request a refund through Eventbrite and we will process ASAP. After that, no refunds. Sorry.
However if something last minute comes up and you can’t make the screening, for whatever reason, just write us at: community@secretmovieclub.com and we’ll offer you complimentary tickets to a future screening.
WHY ARE THE TICKET PRICES HIGHER THAN NORMAL?
In order for us to re-open, maintain health protocols (which includes operating at only 50% capacity), and screen movies on 35MM, we need to temporarily raise our ticket prices. We apologize.
However, if you could look at this as partially helping Secret Movie Club re-open indoor theaters and 35MM film screening, we would be eternally grateful.
As we can increase capacity, we will IMMEDIATELY LOWER ticket prices.
If you could look at this as all of us being in this together, we WILL remember your kindness.
HELPFUL MILLION DOLLAR THEATER MOVIE PALACE PARKING TIPS:
If you are attending all movies on any given day (the double or triple feature), you can go to ADD ONS and pre-order an all day $6 Grand Central Parking Lot Pass. The Grand Central Parking Lot is at the corner of 3rd Street and Hill Street just 1 block from the Million Dollar Theater entrance on 3rd & Broadway.
Folks just attending one feature can also park at this lot and as long as you grab food/drink from GCM you can get a 90 minute validation stamp that will help the cost of parking.
HOW WILL OUR STAFF MAKE SURE THE THEATER IS AS SAFE AS POSSIBLE:
We will have staff in the theater (on both the ground and balcony levels) at all times who make sure everyone is wearing masks and obeying protocols. We will have signage at entrance, markings at concessions, restrooms, etc so folks keep 6 ft distance at all times.
Anyone not observing safe protocols will kindly be asked to leave. On top of this, we’ll be making announcements at the head of each screening to make sure everyone understands the rules & regs!
