Celebrate 25 years of Richard Kelly’s mind-bending masterpiece in a stunning 4K presentation. Donnie Darko doesn’t get along with his family, teachers, or classmates, but he finds a kindred spirit in Gretchen and guidance from a compassionate psychiatrist who believes hypnosis may unlock hidden truths. Meanwhile, Donnie is haunted by Frank, a mysterious giant bunny only he can see. When a jet engine crashes into his bedroom and narrowly misses him, Donnie is drawn into a series of increasingly strange events that seem governed by forces beyond explanation.

Mary & Margo Are Back From the Dead!  After dying in a horrific theater accident years ago, Mary and Margo have been trapped in the Void, where they’ve spent their time creating what they believe will be their greatest show yet. There’s just one problem: in order to perform, they must be summoned back from the dead—and returning to the land of the living comes with consequences.

Will Mary and Margo finally get the chance to perform their masterpiece without a single failure? Or will they be caught and demoted to another realm?  There’s only one way to find out—and only the audience can help Mary and Margo accomplish their dream of performing one last time.
