Love movies? You’ve come to the right place
Hopkins Community Cinema is a citizen-led, volunteer-driven group that hosts intentionally-curated movie screenings in Hopkins. You’re welcome to join us as we build the movement.
New this year! Please note the location of the movie screenings at one of two venues:
The Depot Coffee and Meeting House
9451 Excelsior Blvd.
at the Hwy 169 South on ramp
plenty of free parking; snacks available
Hopkins Center for the Arts
Jaycees Theater
1111 Mainstreet, Hopkins
Entering its 4th Season, HCC is featuring a slate of movies with the theme of REBELLION.
Thanks to all who provided input by returning the survey.
Hopkins Community Cinema is a volunteer group of movie lovers responding to the void left by the departure of the popular Hopkins movie theater in 2022. Starting with only a few folks watching a film in someone's garage to hosting up to 50 at the art center’s Jaycees Theater, HCC strives to keep the dream of movies alive.
Thanks to partnerships with Hopkins Center for the Arts and the City of Hopkins, this citizen-led group screens films that inspire, inform, entertain, and bring the community together.

Support
The movement to bring movies back to Hopkins relies on volunteers, in all capacities. We need people to donate:
Your generosity makes it all possible
While we are not a non-profit and cannot offer a tax deduction, Hopkins Community Cinema is dependent on funding and donations — many of which come from our loyal members. A small contribution goes a long way and gives us the chance to keep movies in Hopkins. Donate now, and make a difference in the community.
