Studio Movie Grill Expands its Movies + Meals Program with Paramount Pictures’ Dora and the Lost City of Gold
“SMG is thrilled to announce that Paramount Pictures has joined us in offering special screenings of Dora and the Lost City of Gold starring Isabela Moner, Michael Pena, Eva Longoria, and Eugenio Derbez in support of our Movies + Meals Outreach Program and more specifically to Girls Inc. and non-profits serving children in need in our communities. The movie has such a wonderful heartwarming and positive message about the importance of family and bravery as Dora embarks on a quest to save her parents while trying to solve the seemingly impossible mystery behind a lost Incan civilization,“ said Lynne McQuaker, SMG’s Senior Director of Outreach.
Paramount Pictures generously offered multiple screenings of Dora and the Lost City of Gold (in theatres 8/9/19), as part of its Movies + Meals outreach program. In keeping with its mission to open hearts and minds, one story at a time, SMG launched SMG AccessTM nationwide last summer as the only theater loyalty program focused on positively impacting underserved local community members. Through their purchases, along with rewards, loyal SMG guests are able to assist SMG in offering movies and meals to local non-profits and community members with the hope of harnessing the power of movies to inspire and change lives. Since the program’s inception, multiple studios have joined the movement and SMG will exceed 14,000 Movies + Meals in the program’s first year.
