🤠 **CALLING ALL JOHN WAYNE FANS!**

Remember when Westerns had dusty trails, tough cowboys, a little romance and a whole lot of heart?

ANGEL AND THE BADMAN is riding back onto the big screen in a brand new remake of the John Wayne classic!

If you grew up watching Westerns, this weekend is for you. And if you’ve never seen what made these old stories so darn good, grab someone who has and come find out.

Bring Dad. Bring Grandpa. Bring your favorite Western loving friend. Heck, wear the cowboy hat. 🤠

There’s just something about seeing a good old fashioned Western on the BIG SCREEN.

🎟️ NEW SYSTEM. SAME SUN. ☀️

We’ve officially switched over to our brand new point-of-sale system!

Our amazing volunteers are learning the new setup, so for the next few weekends, we’d love it if you could come a few minutes earlier than usual when you’re headed to a movie.

A little extra time gives our volunteers room to get everyone checked in, popcorned up, and settled into their seats without missing the beginning of the show.🍿

And this new system isn’t just about ringing up popcorn faster. We’re hoping it opens the door to some pretty fun things for our patrons in the future, like rewards, memberships, easier ticketing and more.👀

There’s still plenty to learn, but we’re excited about where this upgrade can take us!

Thanks for your patience while we get the hang of it. We’ll be POS pros in no time.😉

October at the Sun has a little bit of EVERYTHING. 🎬

A little heart. ❤️
A little Husker football. 🏈
A little old-school John Wayne, made new again. 🤠
A little edge-of-your-seat action.
And a little “well…how exactly did we end up on THIS island?” 👀

**RUNNER**
**ANGEL AND THE BADMAN**
**HEART OF THE BEAST**
**GOING FOR TWO**
**FORGOTTEN ISLAND**

Five movies. Five VERY different vibes.

Honestly, October’s movie lineup is all over the place…and we kinda love it. ☀️🎬

Well… somebody understood the assignment. 🔮🌙

These ladies showed up for Practical Magic 2 last night fully embracing their Owens women era, and we are HERE for it.

But here’s where it gets even better…

**Tonight is the Full Harvest Moon.** 🌕

You really can’t make this stuff up. If there were ever a night to grab your sisters, round up your girlfriends, throw on something a little witchy and come see *Practical Magic 2* at the Sun… this is it.

✨ Tonight at 7:30 PM
✨ Sunday at 5:00 PM

Midnight margaritas before and afterward are entirely your own decision. 🍹😉

✨ **MARGARITAS. MAGIC. MAYHEM.** ✨

The Owens women are back, the tequila is calling, and frankly… we’ve waited long enough. 🔮🍹

** ** is casting its spell on the Sun ☀️ Theatre **THIS WEEKEND!**

Grab your friends, practice your midnight margarita dance, and come see what happens when a little practical magic gets stirred up again.

🎬 Magic is better on the big screen.
🍿 Margaritas afterward are probably a very good idea.

**See you at the Sun.** 🖤✨
