“See movies where movies are made” is especially poignant a week following the incredible world-wide box-office success of The Fate of the Furious, the 8th film in the franchise. The theater, operated in partnership with AMC Theatres was celebrated this week with the help of legendary filmmaker Steven Spielberg, Jordan Peele (“Get Out”), Producer Jason Blum (“Whiplash”), producer William Packer (“Straight Outta Compton”), with opening remarks by Ron Meyer, Vice Chairman, NBCUniversal, and Karen Irwin, President & COO, Universal Studios Hollywood. We previewed the theater a few months back and it’s been operating ever since, but always without fanfare. That just so happen to be some of the music playing prior to the Grand Opening dedication of Universal Cinema at Universal CityWalk, Hollywood. When you hear the music from Apollo 13, Back to the Future, E.T., Jurassic Park, and so many others, you’re reminded of just how musically memorable many of the films of Universal Studios are.

(Production schedules can affect the availability of these tours.) The adjacent Universal CityWalk’s restaurants and massive movie theater make the destination worthy of even more time, especially if you visit around notable holidays, when themes take over in spectacular fashion, from “Grinchmas” to the Lunar New Year. You’ll get a special escort to the front of the line for rides, along with breakfast, a private lunch prepared by the studio’s executive chef, valet parking, and backlot access, where you’ll see thousands of set pieces and props.
To be truly swept up in the park, sign up for the VIP Experience. For Harry Potter fans, a visit to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter’s Hogsmeade is essential, while Peter Jackson’s King Kong 360 3-D, and the immersive Fast & Furious-Supercharged simulator ride will get the adrenaline going. Call it the magic of Hollywood: Since opening in 1964, this theme park has continued to reinvent itself, creating ever-more ambitious experiences inspired by blockbuster movies.
