Santikos Entertainment is adding a fixed weekly classic-movie slot to its San Antonio calendar, with Wednesday Rewind scheduled to start Oct. 7 at participating Santikos, Grand and AmStar theaters.
The format is straightforward. One featured catalog title is scheduled each Wednesday, with screenings at 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. and tickets listed at $6. Santikos’ current calendar runs through Dec. 30, giving the series a 13-week opening slate rather than a single limited engagement.
For San Antonio audiences, the launch adds another recurring theatrical option to a city that already supports festivals, specialty screenings and multiplex programming. The local calendar also includes San Antonio film screenings built around independent and cultural cinema, extending movie programming beyond first-run studio releases.
Santikos Wednesday Rewind Opens With Four October Favorites
The Goonies opens Wednesday Rewind on Oct. 7. Santikos lists the 1985 adventure film at 1 hour, 54 minutes and rates it PG. Grease follows on Oct. 14, while Back to the Future is scheduled for Oct. 21.
The October run closes with Halloween on Oct. 28. Santikos lists the 1978 horror film as rated R with a runtime of 1 hour, 32 minutes. That placement puts the screening three days before Halloween while keeping the series on its regular Wednesday timetable.
The first month also establishes the range Santikos is using for the series. The opening four titles move from adventure and musical comedy to science fiction and horror rather than remaining within a single genre.
Current third-party ticket listings also show The Goonies on Oct. 7 and Grease on Oct. 14 at Santikos locations. Back to the Future and Halloween also appear on their announced Wednesday dates.
November Adds Sports, Horror and a Thanksgiving Comedy
American Graffiti is scheduled for Nov. 4, followed by Rudy on Nov. 11. The Shining arrives Nov. 18, with Planes, Trains and Automobiles set for Nov. 25, the day before Thanksgiving.
The November lineup again mixes genres while keeping the same advertised $6 ticket price and two-showtime structure. The Shining is the longest movie on the month’s schedule at 2 hours, 23 minutes. Planes, Trains and Automobiles runs 1 hour, 33 minutes.
Rudy is listed at 1 hour, 53 minutes and rated PG. American Graffiti carries the same PG rating and listed runtime. The two R-rated selections, The Shining and Planes, Trains and Automobiles, close the month.
The recurring schedule arrives as San Antonio’s cinema market continues to support mainstream and specialty programming. Santikos operates eight theater complexes in San Antonio, according to recent local reporting. The exhibition schedule also arrives during broader attention to Texas film production and other film activity across the state.
Five December Dates Shift the Series Toward Holiday Movies
December includes five Wednesdays, and Santikos has filled four of them with holiday-centered films. The Polar Express is scheduled for Dec. 2, followed by Elf on Dec. 9 and National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation on Dec. 16.
How the Grinch Stole Christmas follows on Dec. 23. The schedule places the Jim Carrey-led holiday film two days before Christmas.
Santikos currently lists The Polar Express at 1 hour, 40 minutes, Elf at 1 hour, 37 minutes, Christmas Vacation at 1 hour, 37 minutes and How the Grinch Stole Christmas at 1 hour, 45 minutes.
When Harry Met Sally is scheduled for Dec. 30 as the final Wednesday Rewind title currently posted for 2026. Santikos lists the romantic comedy as rated R with a runtime of 1 hour, 35 minutes.
The $6 Schedule Runs Through the End of 2026
Santikos notes that Wednesday Rewind films and showtimes are subject to change, making individual theater listings the final check for availability. The live schedule currently shows every announced title at the same $6 price with 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. screenings.
For San Antonio moviegoers, the most notable feature is the consistency of the format. Santikos Wednesday Rewind has a published title for every Wednesday from Oct. 7 through Dec. 30, allowing audiences to see the complete opening slate before the series begins.
