Here are the U.S. theaters showing Snowpiercer this weekend

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

Consider this a public service announcement. Bong Joon-ho’s excellent SNOWPIERCER is opening in limited release this weekend and expanding next, and we thought it would be nice to guide you in the right direction. I know, the movie about the loud robots demands you pay attention to it, but don’t give in to temptation – seek out this flick if you can.


Only eight cities are receiving SNOWPIERCER today, June 27th, and mostly on the east and west coast. Here’s where it’ll be:

Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center 2- New York, NY
Angelika Film Center 6 – New York, NY
Nitehawk Cinema 3 – Brooklyn, NY
Alamo Drafthouse Lakeline – Austin, TX
Sundance Sunset Cinema – West Hollywood, CA
CGV Cinemas LA – Los Angeles, CA
SIFF Cinema at the Uptown – Seattle, WA
AMC Metreon 15 + Imax – San Francisco, CA

If you don’t see your city on that list – and let’s face it, most of you probably don’t – do not despair: the film expands in a big way across the nation July 2nd and July 4th. To see the entire theater list, head over HERE.

It’s been 18 years since we froze the earth. The few remaining humans live on the Snowpiercer, a train on an infinite loop around the globe. For those at the front, it’s a lavish paradise of drugs and sushi in the lap of luxury; for those trapped in the tail section, life is short and cruel.

But change is in the air. Curtis (Chris Evans), desperate to escape the tail of the train, plans an uprising, aided by his mentor Gilliam (John Hurt). What begins as an isolated riot explodes into a mass revolution, an all-or-nothing push to the front of the train, and a war for humanity’s future. Who will live and who will die? How far can they go? Is there hope beyond the frozen wastes?
