An “innovative” experience awaits movie lovers at Village Cinemas at Knox Ozone when the theatres reopen after Victoria’s lockdown.
The cinemas have been closed for several months due to coronavirus restrictions, with the entrance boarded up.
When asked what was happening at the Knox complex, Village Cinemas said in a statement: “In 2020, Village Entertainment are excited to introduce an innovative communal experience that combines social games and crafted food and beverage options.”
A Village Cinemas spokesman said the complex was undergoing an upgrade to its foyer and candy bar precinct.
The refurbishment will be unveiled when the cinemas reopen on July 2.
