You can now watch ‘Love Island’ in a movie theater in Denver – here’s where

Jun 18, 2026, 2:13 PM

If your living room couch no longer provides a dramatic enough setting for watching strangers make questionable romantic decisions on TV, Peacock has a solution: a movie theater.

For the first time in franchise history, “Love Island USA” is bringing its most chaotic episode of the season — Casa Amor — to the big screen. The two-hour special will air simultaneously in 28 theaters nationwide on Monday, June 22, at 7 p.m. Mountain time as it debuts on Peacock. Denver is one of the lucky cities, with two Lakewood locations hosting screenings: the Cinemark Century Bel Mar 16 and XD and the Regal UA Colorado Mills.

For the uninitiated: Casa Amor is the midseason twist in which established couples are separated and presented with an entirely new group of attractive strangers specifically designed to test their loyalty. It is, by most accounts, the emotional equivalent of setting a relationship on fire and seeing what survives. Watching it alone on your phone is one thing. Watching it in a dark theater with a hundred strangers who are emotionally invested in whether Couple No. 3 stays together is something else entirely.

Seats can be reserved through Fandango with the purchase of a $20 concession voucher, redeemable at the theater on screening night. There are no traditional tickets — just popcorn money with a seat attached, which feels philosophically appropriate for a show about people who are technically there for love but also clearly there for the experience. The episode will still air on Peacock at 9 p.m. ET for anyone who prefers to process their reality-TV feelings in private.

“Love Island USA” is currently in its eighth season and recently posted its strongest premiere numbers ever, growing 74% over last year to become Peacock’s most-streamed original season.
