Our lamb is an irreverent film lover just like us.  He's also our namesake; Laemmle" comes from the Germanic word "lämmlein", meaning "little lamb".  But don't take our word for it -- click on the lamb to hear his story in his own words.

We keep information on every movie that comes to Laemmle even after its run is finished.  Enter the title or other relevant terms in the Search Bar at the top of the site to find the movie you want.

We consider "In Theaters" all films that are "Now Playing" or films that are "Opening This Week".  Thus, when you look at the "In Theaters" section depending on the day of the week, you might find some films that are opening in a matter of days but have not yet started their run.

An "Engagement" signifies the relationship between a film and a particular theater location.  Regular engagements are set up on a weekly basis. A film might run at a theater for one, two, or several weeks.  "Special Engagements" are everything else.  These include: sneaks, one-night screenings, festivals, series, morning/midnight shows, and special events.
