Harkins Theatres Secret Cinema to show $5 mystery film on Oct. 6

If you’re a movie buff with an adventurous spirit, you’ll want to mark your calendar for Monday, Oct. 6.

That’s the next installment of Harkins Theatres’ Secret Cinema series, a recurring event in which a $5 ticket ($6.85 with taxes and fees) gets you a seat at a movie whose title won’t be announced till you get there. The films are always sneak previews of an upcoming release.

The only clues we have: The Oct. 6 film is rated R, and Harkins lists it as having “alt content.” The runtime is two hours and 30 minutes.

The screenings start at 7 p.m., and the following 10 Harkins Theatres locations around metro Phoenix are participating:

• Arizona Mills 18, 5000 S. Arizona Mills Circle, Tempe
