Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What's showing at Big Sky next week/2 or 3 weeks from now? Will you be showing (my favorite movie) at Big Sky this summer?
A: Because of the number of new movies coming out and the high demand for the big hits, the Big Sky management doesn't find out for sure what will be available until the Monday or Tuesday before the weekend when the movies change. We DO get the top releases on their earliest release dates, so you will be able to see the box office hits at Big Sky the same day that they're in the big indoor theaters. As soon as we know what movies will be available, they will be listed on the website. If there is no poster on the Coming Soon page the next week's listings are not available yet.

Q: How can we visit Big Sky if we're driving an RV that's too big to fit under the entrance canopy?
A: You may come to Big Sky in your RV. Enter the ticket area on the left side, away from the canopy, and stop at the ticket office there. Someone will come collect the admission, then you may enter the theater. You should park in one of the last rows on the side you choose so your vehicle doesn't obstruct the view of other patrons. Those are the only special requirements we have for RVs at Big Sky.
