The top two movie theaters in the city (according to our most recent reader survey) are joining forces. The Gateway Film Center and Studio 35 jointly announced a new strategic partnership today to help support independent cinema in Columbus. The two companies will work together to support the shared goal of offering unique movie-going experiences to local film fans.

“This is an exciting partnership because both of our audiences will be able to take advantage of the unique offerings of our two theaters,” said Eric Brembeck, owner of Studio 35. “We encourage our patrons to support each other so we can continue to bring to Columbus moviegoers the best films in the coolest venues to see a movie in Columbus.”

The two theaters will begin hosting bi-monthly beer tasting events that will alternate venue between the two locations. Details on other joint promotions and collaborative programming efforts are expected to be revealed in the coming weeks.
