The July 2026 Cinespia Lineup

Legally Blonde

Date: June 27

Before July officially kicks off, Cinespia is celebrating everyone's favorite Harvard Law student with a special screening of Legally Blonde. The evening will feature a pink-themed party inspired by Elle Woods and arrives just ahead of Prime Video's upcoming Elle prequel series.

As if we needed another excuse to revisit one of the most quotable comedies of the 2000s.

Shrek + Fourth of July Fireworks

Date: July 3

The beloved green ogre heads to Hollywood Forever for a special fireworks spectacular. Twenty-five years after its debut, Shrek remains one of animation's most beloved films, and Cinespia is leaning fully into the nostalgia with a fairy-tale-themed evening complete with fireworks following the screening.

Expect plenty of laughs, sing-alongs, and more Smash Mouth than your summer playlist probably needs.

Jurassic Park + Fourth of July Fireworks

Date: July 4

If giant dinosaurs and fireworks sound like your ideal Independence Day celebration, Cinespia has you covered.

Steven Spielberg's groundbreaking blockbuster returns to the big screen for a Fourth of July screening followed by a fireworks show. Watching velociraptors roam across the Cathedral Mausoleum projection wall feels like the kind of cinematic experience that was made for Hollywood Forever.

Pulp Fiction

Date: July 11

Quentin Tarantino's Oscar-winning classic arrives for what promises to be one of the coolest nights of the season.

The nonlinear crime masterpiece remains one of the most influential films ever made, and Cinespia is pairing the screening with a themed party worthy of Vincent Vega, Jules Winnfield, and the rest of the film's unforgettable characters.

Rosemary's Baby

Date: July 18

Things take a darker turn with Roman Polanski's legendary psychological horror classic.

Set against the unique atmosphere of Hollywood Forever Cemetery, Rosemary's Baby feels particularly fitting for an outdoor screening under the stars. Fans can expect a haunting evening filled with eerie vibes, devilish details, and one of horror cinema's most enduring masterpieces.

Edward Scissorhands

Date: July 25

Closing out the month is Tim Burton's beloved fantasy romance starring Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder.

Part fairy tale, part suburban satire, and part heartbreaking love story, Edward Scissorhands remains one of Burton's most visually striking films. Expect a goth-meets-pop celebration worthy of this cult favorite.

A Los Angeles Tradition Turns 25

What began as a screening of Strangers on a Train for a few hundred guests has grown into one of Los Angeles' most recognizable cultural experiences.

Today, Cinespia attracts hundreds of thousands of attendees annually and has become synonymous with summer moviegoing in Southern California. Guests bring blankets and picnics, enjoy DJ sets before and after screenings, snap photos at the event's signature photo booth, and watch classic films projected against the historic Cathedral Mausoleum.

The combination of iconic movies, unforgettable atmosphere, and communal moviegoing has helped make Cinespia a fixture of Los Angeles entertainment culture for a quarter century.

Tickets for all July screenings are available now through Cinespia's official website.

With the Fourth of July events and anniversary celebrations expected to draw large crowds, movie fans may want to secure tickets early.

For anyone looking to experience Los Angeles summer at its most cinematic, few traditions are as iconic as a night at Hollywood Forever Cemetery.
