The Summer Movie Magic series presented by Denark Construction is coming back to the Tennessee Theatre with a lineup of three themed movies each weekend in the categories of music, popular classics and family entertainment.

On Friday nights, movies about some of the best bands of all time will be featured for the Summer of Sound series. Popular Picks will be a staple for Saturday nights. Matinees on Sunday will be all about Family Fun and feature movies that everyone can enjoy.

"This year's movie series is a great opportunity to get out of the summer sun and into the cool theatre to enjoy our best-ever lineup in the Summer Movie Magic Series," Tennessee Theatre Executive Director Becky Hancock said. "Moviegoers can pick one movie to see each weekend or enjoy all three. From 'The Big Chill' to 'The Princess Bride,' we have a movie for everyone this summer at our grand entertainment palace."
