Bugonia’ Sets Free LA Screening With Bald-or-Shave Entry Rule for Oct. 20

The stunt mirrors Emma Stone’s role as a bald CEO.

Overview

  • DoLA announced a free advanced screening at the Culver Theater on Monday at 8 p.m., with an on-site barber available from 6 p.m. for those willing to shave.
  • Admission is first-come, first-served with RSVP required, tickets do not guarantee entry, and the event is limited to attendees 18 or older.
  • Organizers say a portion of the event will be filmed for promotional use.
  • The requirement references the film’s premise and Stone’s real-life head shave for the role, as she plays a CEO targeted by conspiracy believers.
  • Focus Features plans a limited U.S. release on Oct. 24 followed by a wider rollout on Oct. 31, as the screening generates online buzz and some inclusivity concerns.
