Rainy Day in the Hamptons? SPARK’s Memorial Day Weekend Movie Guide to the Best Theaters & Movies Now

All is not lost without sunshine, even if it is Memorial Day Weekend in the Hamptons.

The beaches are still beautiful — just mistier. Shops are open for business (shop local), and a movie outing on the East End always feels like a special escape.

Sag Harbor Cinema on Main St., Sag Harbor

We love Southampton Playhouse for its Dolby sound experience. Sag Harbor Cinema delivers old-school charm with a sleek modern renovation, offering everything from current hits to avant-garde films and family-friendly picks — plus its intimate bar and rooftop space, The Green Room.

Regal UA East Hampton Cinema is ideal for blockbuster variety, with a pre- or post-movie Starbucks stop across the street or a more elevated coffee experience at Tutto Caffè just behind it.

Sunset Theater, Westhampton Beach

And The Sunset Theater in Westhampton Beach remains one of the East End’s hidden gems, with cool vintage vibes, a nostalgic candy-and-popcorn counter, and a sleek upstairs bar that feels effortlessly chic. Add live music and DJs, and it’s easy to see why we’d love to see Sunset expand farther east someday.

Grab your popcorn.

Movies to See in the Hamptons This Memorial Day Weekend

The Devil Wears Prada 2

Fashion-forward fun with sharp performances from the returning cast. The pace moves quickly, the laughs land, and yes — there’s even a Hamptons reference that hits close to home.

The Devil Wears Prada 2

Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu
Sag Harbor Cinema, Regal UA East Hampton, Sunset Theater WHB

Action-packed and visually impressive. Reviews have been mixed, with some critics calling the narrative thin, but Star Wars fans will likely want to judge for themselves.

Michael, starring Jaafar Jackson

Riveting and emotional, this one will have you wanting to sing — and dance — along, thanks in part to the TikTok generation’s MJ obsession.

Influenced, starring writer Jill Kargman

Jill Kargman, creator of Odd Mom Out and chronicler of Upper East Side absurdity, is back — this time skewering image-obsessed mommy influencers. The one-liners land fast.


Monday, May 25

Pressure
Southampton Playhouse (Dolby)

This gripping WWII thriller, set during the tense final days before D-Day, stars Brendan Fraser and Andrew Scott and may be the must-see film of the weekend.

Obsession
Regal UA East Hampton

Already being praised as one of the standout horror films of the year, this thriller takes obsession to unsettling new extremes.

I Love Boosters at Sag Cinema

I Love Boosters
Sag Harbor Cinema

A stylish satire on capitalism and theft that’s generating serious buzz. Given the alleged $21,000 theft from the Ralph Lauren store in East Hampton this week, the timing feels eerily on-brand.
