Kevin Smith opens SModcastle Cinemas in New Jersey to celebrate his film journey

Kevin Smith has opened SModcastle Cinemas in Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey, a theater that reflects his career and childhood memories. This venue showcases both his films and first-run movies, aiming to attract a diverse audience. Previously, Smith operated a smaller SModcastle in Los Angeles, which struggled without his presence. The new location allows him to host events and screenings, enhancing its appeal and profitability through ticket sales and concessions. SModcastle Cinemas also aims to become a community hub, offering filmmaking classes and showcasing independent films. Smith's latest movie, "The 4:30 Movie," was filmed on-site, further connecting his work to the theater.
