Regal Cinemas is hosting a GTA 6-themed movie marathon ahead of the game's launch, giving fans a chance to watch crime films that echo the world of Rockstar's long-awaited title. The marathon runs from November 13 to 18, with a new film screened each day in the days leading up to the game's November 19 release on Xbox Series X|S and PS5.
The lineup leans heavily on Miami-set and crime-driven pictures. Scarface, 2 Fast 2 Furious, Miami Vice and Bad Boys II are among the titles on the schedule. Spring Breakers and Pain & Gain are also included as Miami-centric crime picks, reflecting the Florida city that serves as a clear touchstone for the upcoming game. Taken together, the selection gives viewers a sense of the city's long history on screen as a backdrop for organized crime, excess and fast cars, all elements that fans have come to associate with the franchise.
Beyond the theatrical lineup, the article recommends several other films that may have informed the game's tone and style. Bonnie and Clyde is singled out as a likely source of inspiration for GTA 6, a 1967 crime story about a pair of outlaws whose cross-country crime spree makes them folk figures in their own right. Other suggestions include True Romance, Baby Driver, Badlands and Ain't Them Bodies Saints, all films built around outlaw couples, getaway drivers and crime on the run. Each title offers a different angle on the road-trip-and-crime formula that the franchise has long leaned on.
Television is also part of the recommendations. Dexter is suggested for its Miami setting, and the piece notes that GTA 5 reportedly contained Dexter-related Easter eggs. That connection gives fans a reason to revisit the series before the new game arrives, particularly those hoping to spot similar references in GTA 6.
The timing of the marathon coincides with a broader wave of pre-launch activity. Pre-loading has begun globally, and fans have been digging through the game's data, though so far their datamining has turned up only minor results. Rockstar has also released new screenshots and merchandise ahead of the launch, keeping attention high as the release date approaches. For a studio that has historically guarded its releases closely, the steady flow of official material in the final weeks signals how much anticipation the game has built.
Separately, Regal Sherman Oaks held a one-year anniversary screening of Heated Rivalry, the HBO Max and Crave series based on Rachel Reid's novels. That event marked the anniversary of the show rather than a new release, and fans attended the screening to celebrate it. It stands apart from the GTA 6 programming, though it reflects the same practice of cinemas using screenings to draw fan communities together around a shared piece of popular culture.
