The "Bring A Friend Back To The Movies" initiative will
provide one complimentary ticket to anyone who purchases a ticket
directly from the Angelika website, app, or in theater to see the
upcoming film, The Duke, during the first week of its release. The
goal is to bring audiences back and remind them that nothing beats
seeing a film on a big screen with a friend. Sony Pictures Classics
will release the film in theaters in New York and Los Angeles on
April 22, 2022, before expanding to additional cities over the
following weeks. The Duke premiered at the Venice and Telluride
Film Festivals in 2021 and is certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes at
95%. We invite you to share the trailer, which you can find
HERE.
“We are thrilled that the Angelika has joined forces with us for
The Duke to ‘Bring A Friend Back To The Movies,’” said Sony
Pictures Classics’ co-president, Tom Bernard. “The COVID-19
pandemic had a significant impact on theaters and the moviegoing
experience, but with people being able to get vaccinated and
boosted, as well as increased health and safety protocols at
theaters like the Angelika, going to the movies is as safe or safer
than going to a bar or a crowded restaurant. We know that people
are finally ready to get back into their seats and Roger Michell's
The Duke, starring Helen Mirren and Jim Broadbent, is the ideal
film to remind viewers and their friends of their fondness for the
movie theater viewing experience.”
The Angelika Membership program, which will be free to
join, launches April 29, 2022, and offers exclusive rewards and
benefits for film lovers. Rewards and benefits will include:
earning points on movie tickets, food and drinks; free surprise
screenings every month; free popcorn for you and a guest on your
birthday; select free streaming on the Angelika’s curated platform,
Angelika Anywhere; half-off tickets every Tuesday; and member
discounts on online food and drink orders and merchandise.
Ellen Cotter, President and CEO of Angelika, said, “We’re
honored to be partnering with Sony Pictures Classics on ‘Bring A
Friend Back To The Movies.’ Being able to bring a friend for free
to the Angelika to see The Duke, a heartwarming and hilarious gem,
is the perfect way to celebrate the magical experience of watching
films in a theater with an audience.” Cotter continued, “And, with
the launch a week later of our new free Angelika Membership
program, enjoying the magic of movies at the Angelika has never
been more rewarding for our guests.”
In acclaimed director Roger Michell’s (Notting Hill, My Cousin
Rachel, Blackbird) final feature film before his passing in 2021,
The Duke is the first film to tell the extraordinary true story of
60-year-old taxi driver, Kempton Bunton (Jim Broadbent), who stole
Spanish artist Francisco Goya's portrait of The Duke of Wellington
from the National Gallery in London; the only painting ever stolen
from the National Gallery in its 196-year history.
The Duke stars Academy Award® winners Jim Broadbent (Iris,
Another Year) and Helen Mirren (The Queen, The Last Station), with
a screenplay by Richard Bean and Clive Coleman. It was produced by
Nicky Bentham and executive produced by Cameron McCracken and Jenny
Borgars for Pathé, Andrea Scarso for Ingenious Media, Hugo Heppell
for Screen Yorkshire, Peter Scarf, and Christopher Bunton.
To add to the “Bring A Friend Back To The Movies” experience,
select Angelika locations will also offer each ticket holder for
The Duke a specially priced split of bubbly to share with their
friend in celebration of their return to the movies. For additional
