Win Double Movie Tickets to Olivia Wilde’s The Invitation

Director and star Olivia Wilde returns to the screen on October 16, 2026, with the domestic drama La invitación, which arrives in Spanish cinemas alongside a promotional ticket giveaway hosted by El Periódico Extremadura. The feature centres on an ill-fated dinner party between two couples that tests the limits of marital normalcy. Inviting neighbors over for dinner appears to be a quite simple plan, involving preparing some food, opening a bottle, and letting conversation do the rest, but when the host couple is going through a delicate moment, a visit can end up putting much more on the table than anticipated.

Dinner Party Tension Drives Domestic Drama

The narrative focuses on Joe and Angela, a married couple experiencing severe marital strain who host an evening with their upstairs neighbors, Pina and Hawk. El Periódico Extremadura reported that the gathering quickly shifts from a routine meal into an uncomfortable confrontation that forces the hosts to reevaluate their relationship. What seemed like a shared evening ultimately opens up a much less comfortable question: can this encounter help them recover their spark, or will it end up making their relationship explode?

Wilde directs the project while also starring as Angela alongside Seth Rogen, who plays her husband Joe. Penélope Cruz and Edward Norton complete the main cast as the enigmatic neighbors, Pina and Hawk, who disrupt the couple’s fragile domestic balance.

Cinema Ticket Giveaway Closes on Release Morning

To mark the theatrical release, El Periódico Extremadura launched a promotional sweepstakes offering five double passes for screenings across major Spanish cinema chains, including Cinesa, Cinesur, Kinépolis, MK2, Mooby, Ocine, Odeon, and Yelmo Cines. Participants must complete an online entry form before organizers draw the winners on the morning of October 16, 2026, coinciding with the film’s premiere.

The promotion follows a similar campaign run by epe.es for Guy Ritchie’s action-comedy En la Zona Gris, which premiered on September 18, 2026, and featured a ticket deadline of September 17, 2026, at 23:59 hours. Behind En la Zona Gris is Guy Ritchie, one of the most recognizable names in action cinema in recent decades, who directs an assignment that would be an authentic suicide for practically anyone.

Theatrical Release Dates Shape October Screenings

Cinemas across Spain will begin screening La invitación on October 16, 2026, making the feature exclusively available in theatres. The ticket sweepstakes draw takes place that same morning, unlocking cinema access for the selected participants as the film enters distribution.
