It’s become something of a habit for new Alamo Drafthouse theater locations to be given a theme – and the latest in the Austin, Texas-based chain is no different. The new Alamo Drafthouse Wrigleyville, their first theater in Illinois, will be dedicated to iconic Chicago filmmaker John Hughes, TheWrap can exclusively reveal.
The dedication ceremony will take place Thursday, before the theater opens to the public on Friday.The plaque for the new theater reads:“JOHN HUGHES CINEMADirector John Hughes has left an indelible mark on our collective consciousness with witty, charming, and heartfelt films like SIXTEEN CANDLES, THE BREAKFAST CLUB, and PLANES, TRAINS & AUTOMOBILES. In FERRIS BUELLER’S DAY OFF, he perfectly captured the mischievous and carefree spirit of youth through one teen’s epic day playing hooky, cementing Chicago as a cinematic playground in the process.
Because of his incalculable influence on cinema, as of Thursday, January 26th 2023, this Alamo Drafthouse Cinema shall hereby and forevermore be known as the John Hughes Cinema.”“In 1984, I was fourteen and shared the same hairstyle, untucked Polos and braces as Anthony Michael Hall in SIXTEEN CANDLES. I maybe wasn’t the king of them at my school, but I was undeniably a dork,” said Tim League, Alamo Drafthouse Founder and Executive Chairman, in an official statement.
“The classic ‘80s John Hughes films hit me like a sledgehammer. For the first time, I experienced movies that truly understood my teenage experience and challenges.
