M A I N A T T R A C T I O N SMain AttractionsWhat main films will play at the Hiway? Predicting in advance what films will play at our beloved one-screen Hiway is the biggest challenge that we face. It is very hard to know ahead of time. The films listed here are an educated guess. Our website is always the best place to get up-to-the-minute information.Scheduling our main films is week-to-week. On Monday, we decide what main film will play starting that Friday. On Tuesday and Wednesday, we set the showtimes for the upcoming week and then update our website and telephone hotline.We also send out a weekly email (sign up at our website). Sometimes, we book a main film a few weeks in advance, which we post on our website. For our latest Main Attractions plans, visit: HiwayTheater.org. (Or call our Hotline at 267-864-0065)

Marshall USA - Reginald Hudlin Chadwick Boseman stars as a young Thurgood Marshall years before he became the first African-American Supreme Court Justice. In a career defining case, Marshall is an attorney for the NAACP representing a young chauffeur accused of attempted murder. Part illuminating biopic, part courtroom drama, MARSHALL is a powerful film.

Victoria & Abdul UK - Stephen Frears - 1 hr 52 minThis remarkable story details the real-life friendship between Queen Victoria and a young clerk who travels from India to attend to the Queen during her Golden Jubilee. As the pair become closer, Victoria begins to see the changing world in a different light. A fantastic performance by Judi Dench who stars alongside Michael Gambon, Eddie Izzard, and Bollywood star Ali Fazal.

Suburbicon USA - George Clooney - 1 hr 45 minGeorge Clooney directs a Coen Brothers script with an amazing cast including Matt Damon and Julianne Moore. Set in the 1950s, a seemingly mild-mannered father must navigate a seedy, violent undercurrent that operates beneath an idyllic suburban existence. A hilarious and stylish dark comedy from the Coens and Clooney. Also starring Oscar Isaac as the hard-boiled detective.

Murder on the Orient Express USA - Kenneth Branagh Kenneth Branagh’s highly anticipated adaptation of Agatha Christie’s classic murder mystery. Set on a lavish train ride, thirteen passengers all become suspects after an American tycoon is murdered.

The Hiway Theater has a new year-round film series: Classic Thursdays. We will have a classic film every other Thursday night.

Dates subject to change. Due to the fact that we are a single screen theater, we occasionally must postpone special classic screenings. This happens due to unavoidable contractual obligations with our distributors. Any change will be announced at least a week ahead of time, and will result in pushing the date forward or back one week. So before you come, please check our website or hotline for confirmation.

Why? Because that’s how the movie biz works. Believe us, we wouldn’t have this “subject to change” policy if we didn’t have to. (If we made the rules, we’d show 3 or 4

different films every week!) But that’s not how the movie business works, so we must be flexible in programming these special titles. All things considered, this is the best way to bring you the most varied programs possible.

Stay up-to-date by email. The best way to be aware of everything happening at the Hiway is to get our weekly email. You can sign up right from our website. Each week, we will let you know about the Hiway’s upcoming films and events. We’ll also let you know about the screenings at our sister theater, the Ambler, which members can attend for the same member price as the Hiway.

Ticket prices for Classic Thursdays. Our normal ticket prices apply to Classic Thursdays, except for young cineastes: patrons 18 and younger will only be charged an admission of $3 for this series.
