Imagine reliving the iconic moments of Mean Girls, the 2004 classic that brought us the unforgettable performance of Lindsay Lohan. This film isn't just a nostalgic trip down memory lane; it's the perfect choice for a movie night with work friends, a birthday party, or a community get-together. Seeing it on the big screen elevates those legendary lines, like "On Wednesdays, we wear pink," to a whole new level. Upon its release, Mean Girls grossed over $129 million worldwide, becoming a cultural phenomenon. It was nominated for several awards, including Golden Globe nominations. So gather your friends, get your favourite film onto the big screen, and celebrate the brilliance of this timeless comedy together!
Create a screening
Screenwave helps film fans bring classic, cult, and fan-favourite films back to local cinemas. Anyone can start a screening, share it, and invite others to back it. Once the funding target is reached, Genesis Cinema confirms the date.
Mark Waters made Mean Girls for one reason — to be seen on the biggest screen possible. The kind of film that loses something on a laptop, a tablet, or even a TV. 1h 37m that deserve your full attention and a darkened room. See it properly or don't see it at all.
So create a screening. Bring your mates, your family, your colleagues, your neighbours, that friend who's never seen it and needs to. Pack the seats with people who get it — or people who are about to. This is your cinema. Your film. Your night. Make it one to remember.
