Every ticket costs just R50 this November as Ster-Kinekor brings three classics back to the big screen with its Throwback Cinema promotion. Fans can revisit a favourite or catch these films for the first time the way their makers intended: in a cinema.
The line-up runs at selected Ster-Kinekor sites across South Africa, mixing a recent blockbuster prequel, a much-loved 1980s romantic comedy and a 1990s cult hit.
The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes (until 12 November)
Ahead of The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, which opens at Ster-Kinekor nationwide on 20 November (also in IMAX and APEX), the 2023 prequel The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes is back at select cinemas until 12 November.
Set 64 years before he rules Panem as its tyrant president, the story follows a young Coriolanus Snow, who sees a chance to change his fortunes when he mentors Lucy Gray Baird, the female tribute from District 12, in the 10th Hunger Games. Francis Lawrence directs, with Rachel Zegler, Tom Blyth and Viola Davis in the cast.
Splash (from Friday 13 November)
From Friday 13 November, Ron Howard’s 1984 romantic fantasy-comedy Splash returns. A hardworking New Yorker falls head over heels for the woman of his dreams, with one big complication: she is the mermaid who saved him from drowning when he was a child. Tom Hanks, Daryl Hannah, John Candy and Eugene Levy star.
The Craft (from Friday 20 November, for two weeks)
Cult favourite The Craft, first released in 1996, opens on Friday 20 November for two weeks. A newcomer at a Catholic school falls in with three outcast teenage girls, and together they start casting spells and curses on teachers, rivals and meddling parents, until the dark magic starts to bite back. Andrew Fleming directs Robin Tunney, Fairuza Balk, Neve Campbell and Rachel True.
R50 a ticket
“The ticket price set at R50 makes watching these great return titles a must-see for all movie lovers, either as repeat viewing or the opportunity to watch them for the first time as the directors made them to be seen, on the big screen,” says Lynne Wylie, chief marketing officer of Ster-Kinekor.
