Palace Cinemas' $5 Movie Week

Overview

Between Thursday, September 8–Wednesday, September 14, Palace Cinemas is giving movie buffs in Melbourne an extra present. It's not just the gift of great flicks — that is, their daily bread and butter — but the gift of cheap great flicks.

Head to the chain's Balwyn, Brighton, Brighton Bay, Como, Westgarth, Pentridge and Kino venues across the week in question, and any film at any time will only cost you a fiver. Haven't yet seen Top Gun: Maverick, Bullet Train or Elvis? Catching up will cost you $5. Keen to check out Nope, The Black Phone, Three Thousand Years of Longing, Good Luck to You, Leo Grande, Where the Crawdads Sing and Full Time? Also $5. We'd keep naming movies, but you get the picture.

Booking in advance is highly recommended, given how much everyone loves going to the flicks for little more than the price of a cup of coffee. If you do nab your tickets online, you will have to add a transaction fee to the cost.

You won't be able to use the $5 deal on special events and film festivals, or on two-for-one offers and other deals — and it's a Melbourne-only special — but you've now got plenty of movies to see for cheap.
