Instead of flicking through the same TV channels all night long, why not bring first-run movies straight to your living room? Alamo Drafthouse might be physically closed, but technology has allowed them to stream films for all to enjoy. Select locations are also open for delivery and curbside pickup of scrumptious entrees and movie snacks!
Although our beloved Alamo Drafthouse is temporarily closed, they’re bringing a virtual cinema straight to your living room! That doesn’t sound much different from just turning on the TV, but these are first-run movies that normally would only be available at the theater.

On their website, you’ll simply click the ‘Streaming Movies’ tab to get started. From there, you’ll choose a film, select the nearest city, and pay what you can.

Chow down on chicken wings, sandwiches loaded with all the obligatory fixins, and crispy fries during the movie, no care in the world about making a mess or chewing too loudly. Perks of being at home, are we right?
