With the massive success of The Wizard of Oz at Sphere so far (more than $400 million in ticket sales), the venue has announced its newest movie experience: Starting in 2027, Sphere will begin screenings of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, probably history’s most famous cult movie of all time.
For anyone who’s seen the movie in a theater, the appeal is obvious. This is a movie to get the whole crowd on its feet, singing, dancing and throwing rice. It’s not unusual to see theatergoers in full makeup either.
The folks at Sphere totally get it: “Through Sphere Studios, we are building a slate of original experiences that push the boundaries of technology and storytelling for this new medium, while always keeping the audience at the center of the experience,” said Jim Dolan, executive chairman and CEO of Sphere Entertainment, said in a statement. “Since The Rocky Horror Picture Show premiered in 1975, it redefined audience participation and became a cultural phenomenon. With Sphere, we have the opportunity to take that spirit of immersion to an entirely new level.”
