$10 Movie Tickets Opening Week Special at Angelika Film Centre

Overview

For Brisbane cinephiles, the last decade has just kept delivering — brand-new cinemas serving up more and more places to watch movies, that is. Angelika Film Centre is the latest, in the Australian debut of the New York-born chain, and also the brand's first-ever site beyond the US. And, for a week from its opening date of Thursday, August 24, it's doing discounted tickets.

Located at Woolloongabba's South/City/SQ precinct, this sleek new moviegoing spot splashes its fondness for the big screen all over its walls, and not just thanks to eight said big screens. Murals and paintings celebrate everything from Labyrinth to Pulp Fiction, and Grease and Amelie as well, as you'll notice as prominently as the lobby bar's giant chandelier. So, that's what'll greet you before you get comfortable in one of the picture palace's seats and point your eyes forward, all for just $10 until Wednesday, August 30.

On its opening lineup, Angelika Film Centre is showing a heap of current hits, including Asteroid City, BlackBerry and Gran Turismo: Based on a True Story. Yes, Barbenheimer, aka Barbie and Oppenheimer, is also included. Plus, viewers can check out advance screenings of likely future Oscar-winner Past Lives before it officially releases the following Thursday.

The cinema's $10 deal does also include sessions in its three SoHo Lounge theatres — aka Angelika Film Centre's version of Gold Class.

One caveat: if you purchase your tickets online, there is a booking fee. Still, this is a cheap way to see a movie and check out your new favourite cinema.

Also, head along on Sunday, August 27 and you'll enjoy Reading Cinemas' National Cinema Day festivities, too, with $5 regular sessions for that day only.
