Bigscreen and Paramount accept teamed upward for a series of special VR screenings of 80s archetype Acme Gun. Ready to run for a 24-hour period starting at 6 p.m. ET (3 p.m. PT) on Dec 29, the screening will serve up Pinnacle Gun 3D at multiple showtimes in a virtual social space dressed up to simulate the experience of going to a theater.

According to Bigscreen, this is the showtime of several virtual screening events it plans to throw over the coming year. As for why the company opted to go with set up showtimes instead of creating an feel more akin to video-on-demand, the company says information technology's looking to curate events in a style so as to recreate the social experience of sitting downward for a film with others. From Bigscreen:

Nosotros want to curate events with amazing 3D movies and video content that people love. Events give VR users a reason to put on the headset every week at a specific time, bringing a critical mass of people online at the same moment and making our social VR events experience alive.

Hanging out with 2–3 friends in Bigscreen is fun, but watching a alive Bigscreen upshot with thousands of fans feels exhilarating.

Bigscreen has an app available for Windows Mixed Reality headsets, merely it's also available across the major VR platforms, including Oculus Rift and HTC Vive, and the Pinnacle Gun screening will be available on each of those platforms as well.

If you happened to snag a Windows Mixed Reality headset during the holidays, what better way to spread your Mighty Wings and blitz Through the Fire on a journey to a Destination Unknown than with Maverick and Goose? Just be certain to steer clear of the Danger Zone. Unfortunately, this event is express to folks in the U.South. Hopefully, Bigscreen will open its future events to those in other regions. If you're prepare to jump in, however, you can head to Bigscreen's website for a list of showtimes.
