RECORD-BREAKING DOCUMENTARY BECOMING LED ZEPPELIN EXTENDS RUN AT BFI IMAX
19th March 2025The record-breaking documentary Becoming Led Zeppelin, the only officially sanctioned film on the iconic rock group that has already become one of the most successful music documentaries this year, surpassing multiple box office records, has extended its run at the BFI IMAX this month after first premiering on 5th February.
This follows on from over 200 additional screenings being booked across the UK this month across major and independent cinema chains, due to popular demand, to give fans another chance to catch this film that has been described as “The definitive origin story for Britain’s most explosive band” (James Mottram, NME) and a ‘must-see’ (Brian Viner, Daily Mail).
The film is available to book now at London’s BFI IMAX on March 22nd, 25th, 26th and 27th. A film made for the biggest screen possible, there’s no better place to witness the impressive sound and impeccable storytelling exhibited in Becoming Led Zeppelin.
Directed/co-written by Bernard MacMahon and produced/co-written by Allison McGourty, Becoming Led Zeppelin explores the origins of this iconic group and their meteoric rise in just one year against all the odds. Powered by awe-inspiring, psychedelic, never-before-seen footage, performances, and music, Bernard MacMahon’s experiential cinematic odyssey explores Led Zeppelin’s creative, musical, and personal origin story. The film is told in Led Zeppelin’s own words and is the first officially sanctioned film on the group.
Following its initial release, Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page described the reaction and feedback from fans as ‘humbling and inspiring’.
The US opening last month saw the biggest ever opening weekend for an IMAX-exclusive music release, and in the UK, was the highest opening for a documentary release post Covid, and the highest for a documentary since 2018.
