Film on the Rocks Summer Series is returning to Red Rocks Amphitheatre for its 22nd season and will feature box office hits such as “Jaws,” “The Avengers” and “Jurassic Park.”
The film series will kick off Memorial Day weekend and primarily host drive-in-only options through the summer. However, “Casino Royale,” “Jurassic Park” and “The Princess Bride” will be shown in a traditional setting inside the amphitheater, according to a news release.
“After an incredibly successful drive-in season at Red Rocks last year, which included sellout shows and rave reviews from our guests, we’re thrilled to be able to offer both the drive-in and in-amphitheater Film on the Rocks experience for this summer tradition,” Denver Film CEO James Mejia said in the release.

This year, the Film on the Rocks Summer Series at Red Rocks Park & Amphitheatre will present shows through its Drive-In program as well as a small handful of in-amphitheater shows.
On Wednesday morning, Denver Film and Denver Arts & Venues announced the lineup for the 22nd Film on the Rocks Summer Series.
After successfully introducing Film on the Rocks â Drive-In in 2020, the event will include this option for 21 shows once again in 2021. Three shows will stay in the amphitheatre.
Few movie events draw crowds like the Film on the Rocks series. Blockbuster movies most dripping with nostalgia are projected onto a screen at the historic Red Rocks Amphitheatre while crowds cozy up for a mix of film, comedy, and live music from local bands.
But last year, in the midst of the pandemic, the whole shebang was moved to the Red Rocks parking lots for a COVID-19-era drive-in series. And for 2021, Denver Film will put on a mix of drive-in shows that start Memorial Day weekend and amphitheater shows now scheduled for July 12, July 19 and August 2 presuming city guidelines don t change.
