The operator for Brisbane’s newest cinema has finally been named as a bayside suburb’s revamped entertainment scene takes shape.
Majestic Cinemas, and independent cinema company with eight cinemas at different locations in Queensland and New South Wales, were announced as the operators of the new Wynnum Cinema at an exclusive party tonight.
The project is a historic development for the bayside as the area’s first cinema in almost 60 years.
The cinema, which also features residential apartments as part of the Lato Baia complex, will feature six state-of-the-art theatres.
It will be comprised of four traditional cinemas and two crown lounge spaces, with two theatres equipped with 3D technology and audiences will also be able to enjoy in seat dining and reclining chairs in Majestic’s crown lounge and have a drink in the bar
“This has been a long time coming, but we couldn’t be more excited to become part of the changing landscape of the Wynnum Manly region,” Majestic Cinemas CEO, Kieren Dell, said.
“The building is such a unique and innovative space where the community will be able to enjoy cinema once again.
“Immersive cinema experiences take us out of the daily grind and our crown lounge will be an added experience for those who wish to be both immersed and enjoy an in-seat dining experience.”
Ham Bros Pty Ltd/Berrima Develop Pty Ltd are behind the $30 million apartment and entertainment complex and have been instrumental in bringing cinema back to the region.
“We’re thrilled that we’ve been able to bring cinema back to Wynnum,” Berrima Develop Pty Ltd managing director, Justin Ham, said.
“The region is thriving, and the community deserves developments such as this one. We’ll be first in line on opening day to grab our popcorn and choc tops and we look forward to working closely with Majestic”.
The cinema will employ up to 30 local people in total, including 20 young people.
Later this month, Majestic will have a casting call staff hiring event bringing together applicants from all age groups to vie for a role at the new cinema.
