Hoyts Cinema Coming to Christchurch; Event Cinema Coming to Tauranga

Hoyts are bringing the first-ever multiscreen complex to Christchurch’s city centre. The new cinema will feature seven screens with Dolby ATMOS sound and all the chairs will be fitted with fancy-pants lower-back-pampering recliner abilities. The plans also include two HOYTS Xtremescreen auditoriums and two HOYTS LUX auditoriums.

Jonathan Lyttle, managing director of Savills in Christchurch says “It’s a real coup for the Christchurch CBD rebuild that we have been able to attract HOYTS to this key piece of central city land. The agreement brings firm plans for this cornerstone site adjacent to Ballantynes, the bus exchange and The Crossing. It’s another big piece in the central city rebuild jigsaw that we’re very pleased to have helped put in place.”

Event also have plans to open a new cinema, setting base in Tauranga with a five-theatre multiplex. Site works have started on the 1000+ cinema – which will be a part of the new Tauranga Crossing building – with an expected finishing date of mid 2018. It will include a Vmax big-screen and Dolby ATMOS.
