About Fight Club with Chuck Palahniuk
Join us for a very special,
one-night-only screening of the 4K remaster of Fight Club with author
Chuck Palahniuk in attendance! Ticket proceeds will benefit the historic
Hollywood Theatre.
The evening kicks off with short introductions about the
history of the Bagdad and Hollywood theaters and information about the
Hollywood's current vision and work. After the film, there will be a brief intermission, followed by a
Q&A session with Chuck Palahniuk facilitated by Eisner
Award-winning comics writer Matt Fraction. The audience will have an opportunity to
submit questions for the Q&A before the movie.
We'll be serving up Fight Club-themed cocktails for the
occasion! Drinks, slices of pizza, popcorn and candy are available at the
concessions. If you score a spot on the balcony, you can order burgers, tots
and more from the menu and have it delivered to your seat.

About the Film
Experience Fight Club remastered in stunning 4K quality for a limited
time starting April 22. Directed by David Fincher, this dark satire stars Brad
Pitt and Edward Norton. Norton gives a riveting performance as a label-obsessed
insomniac who befriends a scummy soap salesman (Pitt) and embarks on an
existential crusade that takes them both to the brutal, raw heights of their
manhood. Also starring Helena Bonham Carter as the woman who comes between
them, Fight Club
may leave you feeling bruised and bloodied...but also invigorated and alive.
