Hey, PRINCE fans in Denver! Dearly beloved, we are gathered here to celebrate musical icon. The 9th anniversary of his passing is coming up on April 21, 2025 (If you’re a PRINCE fan, you definitely understand that “sometimes it snows in April”.) AMC Theatres is hosting a special screening of Purple Rain in DOLBY Cinema for one night only. And, if there’s a movie meant to be heard through the best movie theater speakers available, it’s definitely the iconic film.
The iconic 80s film tells the story of The Kid (PRINCE) and his rise to stardom. It’s basically one-long amazing music video with hit after hit — When Doves Cry, Let’s Go Crazy, Take Me With U, I Would Die 4 U, Baby, I’m A Star, The Beautiful Ones, Darling Nikki, Computer Blue and, of course, Purple Rain.
From DOLBY Cinema: “To reimagine Purple Rain for this new Dolby experience, the film was completely restored digitally from an 8K scan of the 35mm Original Camera Negative (OCN) and the digitally restored picture was color graded specifically for Dolby Vision. The film’s audio was also restored from the original Dolby Stereo tracks from over 40 years ago and, in conjunction with the 20th anniversary’s 5.1 multi-channel mix master, used to complete a faithfully remastered Dolby Atmos audio presentation.”
The one-night-only screening is on Wednesday, March 5, 2025 at 7 p.m.
Many locations have added additional showtimes because of high ticket demand. Check each theatre for more details.
There are five participating locations in Colorado:
AMC Arapahoe Crossings 16
AMC 9+CO 10
AMC Highlands Ranch 24
AMC Westminster Promenade 24
AMC Orchard 12
Tickets are $19.49, $16.49 and $17.99 for adults, children and seniors, respectively.
Purchase tickets directly at the box office. You also can purchase tickets online, but additional fees will apply.
For fans, it will be a night of amazing music and 80s memories with fellow fans or, as PRINCE liked to refer to them, “fams.”
If you go to the screening, look for our very own Bryan. As a lifelong PRINCE fan, he never misses a chance to see Purple Rain on the big screen. He will be the one wearing a PURPLE RAIN jacket! (If you’re a PRINCE fan, read about his brief interactions with the icon here.)
