HOUSTON – Rooftop Cinema Club’s all-new social movie-going experience leaps into Houston Oct. 3, at BLVD Place in Uptown with a grand opening tribute to its new home and Houstonian, Patrick Swayze, during a sunset screening of the 80’s hit, “Dirty Dancing.”
Opening week of Texas’ first rooftop movie theatre will showcase its unique atmosphere by screening some of the most popular films at its existing U.S. and U.K venues such as “The Greatest Showman,” “Coming to America,” and “Back to the Future.”

“We’re very appreciative of the warm welcome the Houston community has given us,” says Gerry Cottle, Rooftop Cinema Club founder and U.K. native. “Our team is really excited for everyone to get a first look at the opening lineup and better understand how those films fit so well with our social cinema experience.”
