The Sundance Film Festival may be preparing to say goodbye to Park City, but Roxstar Entertainment has made sure Hollywood sends off the festival in style.
The long-time festival staple will conclude its final Cinema Center at Sundance in 2026 with three jam-packed days including a premiere party at Arby’s Cinema Center, press stops and celebrity stops, ending more than 40 years of operation alongside the iconic indie festival.
From January 24th to 26th, the venue became ground zero for talent and tastemakers, with a steady stream of A-list people flocking to Collider’s media studios between screenings, interviews, and late-night celebrations.
Appearing to the press were Riz Ahmed, Ethan Hawke, Kate McKinnon, Steve Buscemi, John Turturro, Giancarlo Esposito, Rob Lowe, Gillian Jacobs, Molly Ringwald, Kelly Marie Tran, Will Poulter, Margaret Cho, Danielle Brooks, and Topher Grace.
Then, when the cameras stopped rolling, the parties took over.
Olivia Colman, Alexander Skarsgård, Peter Dinklage and Elizabeth Debicki attended the lively premiere party for The Wicker, and Lowe and Jacobs reunited for The Musical.
Zoey Deutch, Jon Hamm, John Slattery and Ken Marino brought classic Hollywood energy to the “Gail Daughtry and Celebrity Sex Pass” gala, while rising stars Gideon Adlon, Devon Bostic and Rachel Kaley were seen mingling at the “Warried” afterparty.
WeAudition’s Actor & Influencer Festival Party space was also packed with influencers and industry insiders, with heavyweights from TikTok and Instagram mingling with actors like Simon Rex, Angie Katsanevas, and Nadja Bradley.
With Sundance leaving Utah behind, Rockstar’s final cinema center felt more like a victory lap than a farewell. It’s Hollywood’s last chance to toast Park City’s Sundance era.
