HOYTS Cinemas is marking a huge milestone – 116 years of bringing movies to Australian audiences – and the celebration comes with a treat for film fans: $8 tickets across all locations this weekend, September 13–14.
For two days only, standard movie sessions will be available for just $8, while the premium HOYTS LUX experience is being offered at a reduced $25. Unlike other promotions, this deal requires no membership or sign-up – just a chance to experience the big screen at an unbeatable price.
Perfect Timing for the Biggest New Releases
The timing couldn’t be better. This weekend sees some of the most talked-about new releases on the HOYTS slate.
- The Conjuring: Last Rites – The terrifying tenth entry in the iconic horror franchise, which we recently reviewed and praised for delivering a frighteningly fitting farewell to Ed and Lorraine Warren. It’s the perfect pick for fans looking for a scare on the big screen.
- The Roses – Jay Roach’s modern spin on The War of the Roses, which we noted in our review suffers from a lack of chemistry between its two leads but still offers sharp comedy-drama for audiences seeking something different.
- Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale – The beloved period drama reaches its grand send-off. In our review, we highlighted how the film offers an elegant and emotional closure for long-time fans of the Crawley family and their loyal staff.
HOYTS General Manager of Customer Engagement Brad Eaton said the 116-year celebration was all about rewarding audiences who’ve supported the chain’s long history.
“We’re extremely proud of our long legacy in cinema and this weekend is all about celebrating with our loyal guests. Whether you’re after a new blockbuster or a fun experience with the family, there’s something for everyone,” Eaton said.
A Legacy Worth Celebrating
HOYTS first opened its doors in 1909 and has since grown into one of Australia’s most recognised cinema brands. This birthday celebration continues that tradition, inviting audiences back into the magic of the big screen with both fresh releases and beloved classics showing this weekend.
