A rumour is afoot that a big name in the Kiwi movie scene has bought this classic cinema. It's a beauty, and a true movie-lovers theatre. Famous for running “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” every Friday and Saturday night from 1978 – 1988, in more recent years its been home to the annual 24-hour Incredibly Strange Movie Marathon. Since changing ownership, the historic Wurlitzer organ has been removed, opening the stage up for future live events. I can't wait to see what's next!
Hollywood theater is an original 100 year old theater in Avondale. There's only one movie showing at a time but they get a lot of good movies and it's a great rainy day activity. The cinema is getting a little shabby but it doesn't stop it from being enjoyable. It's like stepping back in time, especially when the tickets are only $10!
