Overview
This Easter weekend marks the end of an era for one of Melbourne’s most beloved institutions. After 75 years of constant operation, the iconic Astor Theatre will finally close its doors. And true to form, they’re going out in style.
After a traditional Good Friday screening of the classic biblical epic Ben-Hur, the cinema will celebrate its final weekend with the crown jewel in its catalogue: a rare 70mm film print of 2001: A Space Odyssey. One of the most visually astounding movies ever made, it’s the sort of film that everyone should see on the big screen at least once – and the only fitting way to bid The Astor farewell.
