With Christopher Nolan\u2019s \u201cThe Odyssey\u201d releasing in theaters around the globe and Marvel ramping up for Comic-Con, now\u2019s the time to head to a local San Diego movie theater to catch the blockbusters of the summer! Fortunately, San Diego has a surfeit of theaters in which to catch the latest release. Most theaters for the next few weeks will tend to be showing \u201cthe Odyssey,\u201d \u201cToy Story 5,\u201d and Illumination\u2019s \u201cMinions and Monsters.\u201d Tom Holland\u2019s latest, \u201cSpider-man: Brand New Day\u201d also releases soon, coming to theaters on July 30th. Overall, the remainder of the summer is set to be an excellent one for movies \u2013 so head down to one of the following theaters to appreciate them on the big screen!<\/p>\n
Cinepolis Luxury Cinemas Del Mar<\/p>\n
As it says in the name, this movie theater offers more of a luxury experience for viewing the summer\u2019s latest releases. It includes in-theater dining options, a full bar, and comfortable leather seats. It is located in Del Mar, so it may be a bit of a drive for anyone living downtown, but the luxury of this experience is entirely worth it.<\/p>\n
The Lot<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re looking for a nicer theater experience closer to home, the Lot is the way to go. With locations in Liberty Station and La Jolla, it\u2019s not often that you\u2019ll be unable to find openings at a showing of the film you want to see at either option. The Lot also comes with an in-theater dining option, as well as a bar, at both locations. The theaters themselves are comfortable, spacious, and boast large screens, making them perfect for any film of one\u2019s choosing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
AMC Mission Valley<\/p>\n
Sometimes, you can\u2019t go wrong with a classic. The Mission Valley AMC shows all of the most popular current releases and offers a classic modern movie theater experience (and happens to be more affordable than some of the aforementioned luxury experiences). It also carries one of the few IMAX screens in San Diego \u2013 an essential for viewing \u201cThe Odyssey,\u201d which was shot entirely for IMAX. This AMC is well-equipped to provide a fabulous theater experience, with popcorn and snacks galore.<\/p>\n
Rooftop Cinema Club<\/p>\n
While it\u2019s not showing the latest releases like the previous theaters on this list, any compilation of San Diego cinemas would be incomplete without this entry. Found on a rooftop in Little Italy, this one-of-a-kind movie experience offers local brews and delicious snacks for an audience in an airy location. Bring a jacket, just in case it gets cold during the showing! The weather is, of course, worth it. The Rooftop Cinema is currently showing a number of old favorites mixed with some newer releases, such as \u201cObsession.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cinema Under the Stars<\/p>\n
Again, though it doesn\u2019t tend to show new releases, any true San Diegan cinephile must make the journey to the Cinema Under the Stars at least once. This little location in Mission Hills is meant for true fans of the classics. Though it doesn\u2019t look like much from outside, it\u2019s an unforgettable experience to attend, and while the venue itself is small, the comfortable seating, excellent screen, and snack selection make this feel better than many larger movie theaters. Grab your tickets early! These showings can fill up on certain nights.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With Christopher Nolan\u2019s \u201cThe Odyssey\u201d releasing in theaters around the globe and Marvel ramping up for Comic-Con, now\u2019s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":413058,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[93,1399,74,76,75,165407],"class_list":["post-413057","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-diego","tag-featured","tag-movies","tag-san-diego","tag-san-diego-headlines","tag-san-diego-news","tag-this-weekend-in-san-diego"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/413057","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=413057"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/413057\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/413058"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=413057"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=413057"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=413057"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
