Lido Cinemas' Fourth Birthday

Overview

Instead of masses of birthday cake and party hats, Hawthorn's Lido Cinemas is celebrating its fourth birthday with seven days of $7 move tickets. The eight-screen theatre, which opened in 2015, is known for its unique programming, featuring cult classics, lots of Australian hits and lesser-known international films.

It also has a rooftop cinema, a hidden jazz room and a slew of left-of-centre special events, like its current Keanu Reeves-A-Thon.

But, back to the birthday. From December 12–18, you'll be able to treat your bestie, mum or date to a film for just $7 each — or splash out and go to one every night (at least its cool inside). Some of the films you'll be able to catch during the week include star-studded whodunnit Knives Out, festive rom-com Last Christmas and Oscar contender Marriage Story. The cheap tix are not available for special events or Lido on the Roof sessions.

Knives Out

If you're a Movie Club member (or happy to sign up for $21 a year), you'll also get access to a week of daily-changing food and drink deals. On Thursday there are $3 choc tops, Friday has $4 shooners and you can grab popcorn for just $3 on Monday. You can check out the rest of them over here.

We suggest you book in quick, as the films expected to sell out.
