The big screen is back and it’s better than ever!

IMAX has landed in Wellington and the thrilling cinema experience is set to open its doors in December.

Six years after damage from the Kaikoura earthquake forced its closure, Lower Hutt’s EVENT Cinemas Queensgate is reopening, with an all-new look.

The complex houses seven screens, a brand-new arcade for the kids, and a café and bar for the grown-ups.

The sprawling atrium is state of the art and offers something for everyone – including a double-wide popcorn machine.

General Manager of EVENT Cinemas New Zealand Carmen Switzer and Cameron Mitchell from Imax Australia take Nick Mills and Wellington Mornings on an exclusive tour ahead of the grant opening.
