Ten years ago, San Francisco established the Legacy Business Registry to celebrate and support the independent spots that make our city special—and The Roxie was proud to be among the very first recognized!

Maybe you’ve noticed the plaque on our storefront while waiting in line for a screening. As a neighborhood movie house with roots stretching back +113 years, we’re fiercely proud to stand alongside the many small, long-time businesses keeping SF’s culture alive.

We love collaborating with our fellow legacy neighbors: 👕 Babylon Burning Screen Printing, Inc. prints our cool merch 🚢 Our Floating Features series with Red and White Fleet returns this fall! 🎥 Huge shoutout to our comrades at BAVC Media for keeping independent media thriving in the Bay Area.

Here’s to all the longtime independent businesses and organizations that keep San Francisco interesting. We’re proud to be one of them, and even prouder to work alongside them.

Horror master Yeon Sang-ho (Train to Busan) returns to zombie cinema with COLONY, fresh from its Cannes Midnight world premiere and Korea’s biggest local opening of the year.

Inside a Seoul high-rise, a science conference becomes ground zero for a fast-mutating virus. The authorities seal the building, turning its glass-and-steel corporate order into a slaughterhouse where every floor brings fresh betrayals, brutal calculations, and new ways to die.

COLONY is a zombie movie for the AI age: system-based, smart, hungry for more, and moving too fast to contain.

Starts Friday, August 28

On June 27, 2026, the Tenderloin Museum experienced severe water damage originating from The Cadillac Hotel that affected their lobby and portions of the main exhibition space.

Out of care for the collection, staff, and visitors, they closed to assess the damage, and the repairs have proven more extensive than first anticipated, from restoring ceilings, walls, and building systems to rebuilding their galleries and installing a new drainage system to help prevent future water intrusion.

Help with the recovery efforts, so they can restore, repair, and rebuild, and reopen this fall. Make a donation here:

Severe water damage has forced us to close. Help us cover uninsured recovery costs, operational losses, and long-term water-mitigation improvements so we can reopen and keep sharing this community’s history.

Coming soon! Two epic movies from India:

Action superstar Yash delivers a commanding performance in the highly anticipated international thriller TOXIC: A FAIRY TALE FOR GROWN-UPS. Helmed by Sundance award-winning director Geetu Mohandas, this high-octane saga delves into the complexities of loyalty, morality, and the struggle for redemption in a world where violence and jealousy reign.

Conceived as the biggest action-adventure film ever made in India, Ramesh Sippy’s deeply influential 1975 “Curry Western,” SHOLAY, remains a towering landmark in film history. Written by the legendary screenwriting duo Salim–Javid, this delirious four-course meal of action, musical numbers, ultramagnetic performances from Indian cinema’s most iconic actors, and jaw-dropping wide-screen 70mm cinematography, will be presented in its recently completed director’s cut.
