LAYFAYETTE, Ind. — GQT Movies has announced its lineup for Sensory Friendly Movie Nights at its theaters in Holland, Lowell, and Grand Haven. The films will be shown on the last Wednesday of each month.
The films will be shown in a sensory-friendly format. Tickets will be available at a discounted price. Due to seating being limited to one auditorium, guests are encouraged to arrive early at the theater.
“We are very excited to offer this special showing to our movie-goers with sensory needs, and we welcome Developmental Enhancement Behavioral Health as our title sponsor whose generous support made this possible,” said GQT Movies COO Matt McSparin. “We heard from a cross-section of our guests that this type of show was a want and need, so we listened. As always, GQT is focused on value, cleanliness, and customer service, and we can’t wait to host everyone so they can experience all that we offer.”
The next film shown will be Disney’s animated film Strange World on November 30. The film was directed by Don Hall and stars Jake Gyllenhaal as Searcher Clade, Dennis Quaid as Jaeger Clade, and Jaboukie Young-White as Ethan Clade.

It was directed by Joel Crawford, and stars Antonio Banderas as Puss in Boots, Salma Hayek as Kitty Softpaws, and Olivia Colman as Mama Bear. In the film, Puss has used eight of his nine lives.
