Released to critical acclaim, Oppenheimer not only dominated the box office but also sparked deep conversations about its themes. “Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds,” echoes long after the credits roll.

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, Lowther Cinema confirms the date.
Christopher Nolan made Oppenheimer 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. 3h 1m 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.
There's something a purpose-built cultural venue does that a multiplex never can. Lowther Pavilion has been bringing people together on the Fylde Coast for generations — and now, with a state-of-the-art cinema at its heart, it's doing it on the big screen too. DCP projection, immersive surround sound, 164 seats. The kind of setup that makes whatever you're watching feel like it matters. It's a natural home for live broadcasts, concert films, and special events — but the space works for anything. Classic films, new releases, one-off community nights. Whatever you want to see, Lowther Pavilion gives it the setting it deserves. Choose your film. Bring Lytham together. Make it a night."
