Thank you to everyone who joined us this past weekend to support the Greenwave varsity football team as we streamed the 3A State Championship game live, and for the incredible support you continue to show the Fallon Theatre. We also hit 5,000 Facebook followers last week, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Every like, share, visit, and kind word helps keep this historic theater thriving, and we’re so thankful to have a community that shows up for us again. As we head into another fun weekend, we’ve got two very different but equally entertaining films lined up that are perfect for family time, date night, or a fun evening out following all the Thanksgiving celebrations.
At 6 pm on Friday and Saturday, we’re showing A Minecraft Movie (2025), a playful adventure inspired by the beloved game. As a team of unlikely heroes journey through familiar biomes, craft tools, outsmart mobs, and build their way to survival, they discover the power of teamwork and creativity. With its blend of creativity, comedy, and pixel-perfect fun, it’s an excellent choice for younger audiences and longtime fans alike. Rated PG, it runs 1 hour and 40 minutes.
Or at 7 pm both nights, settle in for Gremlins (1984), the mischievous cult classic that mixes creature chaos with holiday charm. What begins as an innocent Christmas gift quickly spirals into mayhem when a small town is overrun by adorable troublemakers who definitely do not follow the rules. Rated PG, it runs 1 hour and 46 minutes.
The full magic of the holiday season begins right outside our doors on Friday, December 5th, with the annual Maine Street Christmas Tree Lighting at 6 pm! This beloved community event transforms downtown Fallon into a winter wonderland as families gather to see the lights sparkle to life, enjoy music, and kick off the holiday season together. We’re also inviting the community to help decorate our 12-foot lobby tree by donating Christmas ornaments, which you’re welcome to add during the Tree Lighting or anytime throughout December. Once the tree is lit, head inside the Fallon Theatre where the Lahontan Valley Concert Choir will take the stage for a few festive carols, followed by a selection of classic Christmas cartoons for the whole family to enjoy. Or, at 7 pm, settle in for Jingle All the Way (1996), proudly sponsored by Premier Pawn.
Premier Pawn is adding even more fun this year with a free raffle for everyone who attends Jingle All the Way on Friday or Saturday night! One lucky winner will take home a never-opened Turbo Man action figure, just like the one featured in the movie. The raffle drawing will take place on Facebook Live on Friday, December 6th, around 7:15 pm, so be sure to hold onto your ticket in case you win! And after the drawing, take your raffle ticket to Andy’s Arcade for $1 worth of play time as a thank-you for joining in the fun!
On Sunday, December 7th, Victory Church brings holiday warmth to the Fallon Theatre with a special community evening. The fun begins at 5 pm with Christmas carols in the lower theatre, along with free hot cocoa and cookies for everyone. Then at 6 pm, you can choose between two heartfelt films: The Best Christmas Pageant Ever (2024), which is rated PG and runs for 1 hour and 39 minutes, or The King of Kings (2025), rated PG and running for 1 hour and 43 minutes. Our full concessions will also be open during the movies so you can enjoy popcorn, candy, and your favorite drinks. For more information, visit Victory Church at www.victoryfallon.org
