Dinosaurs Invade the Alamo Drafthouse for “Jurassic World” Screening

This weekend, Alamo Drafthouse will bring along a special surprise to those who will be seeing “Jurassic World” this weekend. They’re hosting Sheila the velociraptor to celebrate this special release, and you won’t want to miss her antics or a chance to have an awesome photo op with your kids.

Sheila is a 7-foot tall, 14-foot long animatronic puppet that will make appearances at select theaters and showtimes, as well as invade the Mondo Gallery Exhibit Opening on Friday, June 12.

Amy Averett, Alamo Drafthouse Director of Family and Community Engagement, said she is excited to see moviegoers reactions.

“With our killer plants at the Slaughter location, giant robot hand in Richardson and Lawgiver at Lakeline, it seemed obvious that the only thing missing from the Alamo menagerie was a flesh-eating velociraptor. Sheila is a clever girl and we look forward to having lots of fun with her in our theaters.  For everyone’s safety, please keep your children close and don’t make any sudden movements when taking her photo,” Averett said.

Here’s a sneak peek of what to expect from Sheila:
