A24’s popular X franchise is about to hit theaters with a new installment, and some lucky fans in California got a chance to be amongst the first to see it. The Alamo Drafthouse in Downtown Los Angeles played host to one of the first public screenings of MaXXXine on Wednesday, and let the record show fans were fired up about it. The third installment of Ti West’s take on adult films and the seedy underbelly of fame pushes more toward thriller than horror, and that change-up helps add new excitement and life to the franchise.
Don’t take my word for it though. We partnered with A24 to set up a camera crew outside the theater following the Q&A with director Ti West, and as you’d expect from A24 fans, they had a lot to say . Not surprisingly, most of it was over the top positive.

We did something similar at a screening for Talk To Me last year , and it was easy to see a lot of parallels with the energy in the room. Fans were on the edge of their seats throughout MaXXXine’s runtime, and it wouldn’t be a surprise at all to see many of them head back to a theater and check it out for a second time. They’ll get their chance when MaXXXine is officially released in theaters on July 5th, 2024, or even a little sooner as A24 is offering fans some showtime options on July 4th, as well.
And rightfully so. Can you think of a better person to celebrate America’s birthday with than Mia Goth’s Maxine Minx? I certa.
