Focus Features Launches 'FocusFest' on the Universal Studios Lot

Focus Features is launching an unforgettable celebration of bold, timeless filmmaking and the fans who make it all matter with the debut of FocusFest, an immersive, one-day festival experience hosted on the iconic Universal Studios lot. 

The inaugural event, hosted by film lover and TikTok star, Juju Green (aka @straw_hat_goofy), will spotlight a curated lineup of Focus’s most celebrated films including cult classic The Big Lebowski, Academy Award®-winning Promising Young Woman, and a special advance screening of one of the year’s most anticipated films, Bugonia from Yorgos Lanthimos, starring Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons which has been hailed for its daring vision and standout performances following its electric World Premiere in Cannes and acclaimed runs at the Venice and Telluride film festivals.

Beyond the big screen, attendees will step into the worlds of these films through immersive photo moments, themed food and beverage offerings, and a curation of exclusive merchandise drops inspired by the Focus library. 

The event will take place on Saturday, October 18, 2025, and tickets are available HERE starting today. Focus Insiders will receive exclusive early access until 12PM PST.
