Palace Centro's $5 Australia Day Long Weekend
Spend your Australia Day at the flicks for a fiver.
Overview
Watching a film can transport you to another place — and, at Palace Centro from January 26 to 29, it can transport you to another period, too. To be specific, you'll feel like you're jumping back to a time when movie tickets were only $5. The last time a trip to the flicks was that cheap was when Palace did the same thing last year.
The four-day offer is the perfect way to celebrate the public holiday and the days that follow, 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 La La Land, Arrival, Lion and Jackie to Paterson, Elle, The Edge of Seventeen and A United Kingdom currently screening. Catch rightful awards darling Moonlight on its opening day, or go gangster with new release Live By Night. At $5 per ticket, if you time it right, you can probably watch all of the above.
