The Oriental Theatre has been showing independent and art films, as well as a few blockbuster Hollywood films. The theater is the world record holder for continual showings of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. It has hosted the film as a Saturday midnight movie since January 1978. In 2005, the theater was dubbed one of the "10 Theaters Doing It Right" by Entertainment Weekly. In 2016, local artists oversaw the installation of a new street art destination in the alley behind the Oriental Theater, and named it the Black Cat Alley. ' As a part of the Black Cat Alley installation, French artist MTO painted a large mural of a green frog entitled "MTO's Bug" on the south wall of the theater, facing Kenilworth Avenue.' (en)
