"Hollywood magic" doesn't just apply to the action that takes place on the screen: The movie-making engine in Los Angeles is also responsible for churning out high-impact premiere parties to market those films, with particular focus on the summer blockbusters intended to bring in major revenue for the studios. This year's crop of summer movies—including Jurassic World, Minions, Tomorrowland, Straight Outta Compton, and Inside Out—had premieres with an emphasis on dramatic arrivals setups, audiovisual production, decor and design, and more.
