Weekend Entertainment | Detective Pikachu Movie Screening on Friday Night
Get ready, Pokémon fans! Los Angeles is hosting a special event that you won't want to miss. In collaboration with Ovation Hollywood, the city is presenting a free movie night featuring the live-action adventure "Detective Pikachu".
The event, which takes place from Tuesday, July 25, 2023, to Sunday, January 7, 2024, is part of the city's celebrations for its fifth anniversary. Guests can arrive as early as 5 pm to check-in and receive a free Ovation Hollywood blanket, complimentary popcorn, and discounted treats.
The movie screening, however, is not included in the gallery's free admission. The gallery, which is located on Level 2 of the Ovation Hollywood website, features over 70 works from the POKEMON x KOGEI exhibition. Early arrivals can enjoy lawn games, crafts at the LA Public Library table, and visit the POKEMON x KOGEI exhibition for free.
"Detective Pikachu", a 2019 film directed by Rob Letterman, lasts 104 minutes and is rated PG. The film stars Justice Smith and features Ryan Reynolds as the voice of Detective Pikachu. The screening will take place in the Ovation Hollywood Center courtyard, with the movie being projected under Ovation's dramatic tower arch as the sun sets.
Guests who check-in will automatically be entered into a raffle to win vouchers for movie tickets and LA Phil at The Hollywood Bowl tickets. Snacks, prizes, and the movie "Detective Pikachu" are all part of the event.
Ovation Hollywood hosts a variety of events, often in partnership with local brands and organizations, indicating a collaborative approach to programming community events in Los Angeles. The 2025 Alta Global Media Film Summit also has sessions held at Ovation Hollywood, signaling it as a hub for film and entertainment industry events, likely connected with broader Los Angeles cultural activities.
So, mark your calendars and join us for this exciting event! Whether you're a Pokémon enthusiast or just looking for a fun night out, "Detective Pikachu" promises to be an unforgettable experience. For more information, visit the Ovation Hollywood website.
