Palace Brisbane's $5 Australia Day

Overview

Watching a film can transport you to another place — and, at Palace's Brisbane venues on January 26, it can transport you to another period, too. Heading to either Palace Centro or Palace Barracks on Australia Day will feel like jumping back to a time when movie tickets were only $5. Can't remember a trip to the flicks being that cheap? Neither can we.

The one-day-only offer is the perfect way to celebrate the public holiday, particularly if you're avoiding the heat and sitting in a darkened room is among your favourite pastimes. Sure, you might already have other plans — but who isn't tempted by the thought of going to the cinema for a fiver?

The lineup of films is certain to prove just as enticing, with everything from The Hateful Eight and Star Wars: Episode VII — The Force Awakens to The Big Short and Carol currently screening. Catch new Aussie effort Looking for Grace on its opening day, or check out an advance preview of Oscar contender Room. At $5 per ticket, if you time it right, you can probably watch all of the above.
