Bringing Adventure to Life Off-Screen
The screening transcended the traditional movie-going experience by incorporating activities inspired by the film's adventurous spirit. Attendees were treated to a rock-climbing wall, a virtual reality mountain biking station, and a dog obstacle course, among other attractions. The highlight, however, was the pet adoption area where guests had the opportunity to meet and adopt puppies and dogs, making a lasting impact by providing forever homes to animals in need.
Set to hit theaters on March 15, 2024, "Arthur the King" promises to be a cinematic journey that explores the depths of friendship and loyalty. Directed by Simon Cellan Jones and based on Mikael Lindnord’s book, the film tells the incredible true story of Michael Light (played by Wahlberg) and Arthur, a stray dog that joins him on an epic adventure racing championship in the Dominican Republic. Alongside a team of athletes, they embark on a journey that tests their endurance and redefines the essence of victory and companionship.
