The Girlfriend Advance Screening: Free Tickets

Free movie nights are rare, and a free one that gets you into a comedy before it opens is rarer still. 1iota is recruiting fans for an advance screening of THE Girlfriend, a new R-rated relationship comedy, in Northridge on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, at 6:30 PM. If you are scanning for things to do in Los Angeles that cost nothing, this one is worth a request.

What the film is

The listing describes THE Girlfriend as a relationship comedy starring Glenn Howerton, Rosario Dawson, Meghann Fahy, Lamorne Morris, Joshua Jackson, Edi Patterson and Stephen Root. The setup: Eve gives up her New York City life and moves to Alabama for her husband Elliot's dream job. When she ends up isolated and unhappy, Elliot secretly hires an escort to be her new best friend. It is directed by Natalie Morales, with a script from Glenn Howerton and Rich Appel.

Who can attend

This is a recruited audience, not an open door. The listing asks for fans aged 17 and up, and it asks that you have seen at least two titles from a short list that includes Bridesmaids, Game Night, Date Night, Girls Trip, Bad Moms, No Hard Feelings, The White Lotus and Broad City. Pick the ones you have watched when you fill out the request, since that is how 1iota screens its audience.

How to request tickets

Tickets cost nothing and are requested only through 1iota, so use the official show page and not a third party.

• Open the 1iota show page for the screening.
• Sign in or create a free account if prompted.
• Submit your request and note any confirmation details.

Audience services routinely confirm more people than a room holds. A confirmation gets you priority in line, not a guaranteed seat, so arrive early and do not build a non-refundable evening around getting in.

Planning your evening

The listing names only Northridge, CA, and no theater or street address, so watch your confirmation for the exact location, check-in time and any rules about phones. A 6:30 PM start on a Wednesday means weekday traffic on the 101 and the 118, so leave generous time. If you are building a calendar of upcoming events Los Angeles has on offer in November, a free preview screening is an easy slot to fill.
