Moonlight film returns to theaters for 10th anniversary

The Academy Award-winning film ‘Moonlight’ has returned to AMC theaters for a limited engagement from October 2 through October 8, 2026, to celebrate its 10th anniversary. Directed by Barry Jenkins and written by Jenkins and Tarell Alvin McCraney, the film follows the life of Chiron, a Black man in Miami, through three stages of his life: childhood, adolescence, and adulthood.

Originally released in 2016, the film was a significant success for A24, marking the studio’s first Best Picture win. Produced on a $4 million budget, it grossed approximately $67.25 million worldwide. The film’s three-act structure, titled ‘Little’, ‘Chiron’, and ‘Black’, explores themes of identity, sexuality, and the impact of environment on personal development.
