At which Washington, D.C. theater did Jurassic Park premiere?

Jurassic Park premiered at the Uptown Theater in Washington, D.C.

The world premiere took place on June 9, 1993, at the Uptown, a landmark single-screen cinema in the Cleveland Park neighborhood. The event supported two children's charities and preceded the movie's wider theatrical release later that week.

The theater is sometimes called the Uptown Theatre, but that spelling variation does not change the answer. It is easy to confuse it with Washington venues such as the Warner Theatre, Lincoln Theatre, or Ford's Theatre; none hosted Jurassic Park's D.C. premiere.

The Uptown had a long history of major film events. It also hosted premieres of 2001: A Space Odyssey and Dances with Wolves. The theater closed in March 2020, making its Jurassic Park connection part of the building's cinematic history rather than a current screening tradition.
