Sundance goes out with a bang as Roxstar shuts down Park City

Sundance Film Festival may be preparing to say goodbye to Park City, but Roxstar Entertainment made sure Hollywood sent it off in style.

The longtime festival fixture closed out its final Cinema Center during Sundance 2026 with three packed days of premiere parties, press stops and celebrity drop-ins at the Arby’s Cinema Center, marking the end of a 40-plus-year run alongside the iconic indie fest.

From Jan. 24 to 26, the venue became ground zero for talent and tastemakers, with Collider’s media studio drawing a steady stream of A-listers bouncing between screenings, interviews and late-night celebrations.

Spotted on the press circuit were Riz Ahmed, Ethan Hawke, Kate McKinnon, Steve Buscemi, John Turturro, Giancarlo Esposito, Rob Lowe, Gillian Jacobs, Molly Ringwald, Kelly Marie Tran, Will Poulter, Margaret Cho, Danielle Brooks and Topher Grace, among others.

And once the cameras stopped rolling, the parties took over.

Olivia Colman, Alexander Skarsgård, Peter Dinklage and Elizabeth Debicki turned out for the buzzy “Wicker” premiere bash, while Lowe and Jacobs reunited for “The Musical.”

Zoey Deutch, Jon Hamm, John Slattery and Ken Marino brought classic Hollywood energy to the “Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass” celebration, and rising stars Gideon Adlon, Devon Bostick and Rachel Kaly were seen mingling at the “Worried” afterparty.

Influencers and industry insiders also packed the space for WeAudition’s Actors & Influencer Festival Party, where TikTok and Instagram heavy-hitters mixed with actors including Simon Rex, Angie Katsanevas and Najah Bradley.

With Sundance set to leave Utah behind, Roxstar’s final Cinema Center felt less like a goodbye and more like a victory lap — one last chance for Hollywood to toast Park City’s Sundance era.
