As the world mourns the passing of Dolly Parton this week, AMC Theatres is celebrating her legacy by bringing two of her biggest hits back to theaters.
For a very limited time, you can visit an AMC Theatre for screenings of Steel Magnolias and The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas — starting on Friday, August 28th.
Of course, you can stream many of Dolly’s hit films, but this is a chance to see them on the big screen once more, in the company of a room-full of Dolly fans.
Steel Magnolias
Directed by Herbert Ross, Steel Magnolias (1989) was adapted from Robert Harling’s stage play of the same name.
The hit movie (with many die-hard fans) is an Oscar-nominated drama featuring Dolly as part of an ensemble of established actresses — including Olympia Dukakis, Sally Field, Daryl Hannah, Shirley MacLaine and Julia Roberts.
The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas
The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas (1982) was adapted from a hit Broadway musical. It’s known for its signature scene of Dolly singing her megahit I Will Always Love You.
The musical comedy stars Burt Reynolds as the town sheriff and Dolly as the owner of the “Chicken Ranch.” The story follows their efforts to keep the house open, after it’s targeted by a moral crusader played by Dom DeLuise.
AMC Theatres limited engagement
From August 28 to September 2, 2026, AMC Theatres is bringing back the two Dolly hit movies — as part of its popular discounted Fan Faves series.
The movies will play at select locations, in general with two matinees daily (one showing of each title).
Timing will vary by location.
The tickets for the series are discounted (usually around $7 to $8.50), but the price also varies by location.
