Enjoy a Black Friday R99 movie ticket and combo special with Ster-Kinekor, for one day only

If you are exhausted from all the Black Friday exclusive deals and you need some downtime from the retail frenzy, Ster-Kinekor has the perfect solution. Book movie tickets for any 2D or 3D film showing at your favourite cinema on Friday, 28 November, and you will pay the crazy Black Friday price of only R99 for your movie ticket plus a small popcorn and 500ml drink of your choice.

“We know consumers are bombarded with Black Friday specials throughout November. Our deal gives them the opportunity to just sit back, relax and be taken on a journey to another world for a few hours. Customers will still be spoilt for choice with the line-up of films on offer, but we promise there will be something to suit everyone,” says Lynne Wylie, chief marketing officer of Ster-Kinekor.

With the release of the animated sequel, Zootropolis 2, on 28 November, Ster-Kinekor’s Black Friday deal gives you the perfect opportunity to catch this big new title on release day! After cracking the biggest case in Zootopia's history, rookie cops Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde find their partnership isn't as solid as they thought when Chief Bogo orders them to join the Partners in Crisis counseling programme. But it doesn't take long for their partnership to be put to the ultimate test when they find themselves on the twisting trail of a mystery tied to the arrival of a venomous snake in the animal metropolis.

And, with the much-anticipated Wicked: For Good having released on 21 November, why not treat yourself to this spellbinding story of friendship, courage, and destiny long before Oz was ever “wonderful” on Black Friday. The film stars the incredible Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo who, together with the rest of the cast, bring Oz back to life with dazzling music and a touch of emerald magic.

If you are looking for a bit of dark magic and illusion to keep the Black Friday blues away, the movie for you is Now You See Me, Now You Don’t. This film has a local flavour, starring South African actor Thabang Molaba as Rosamund Pike’s henchman, as The Four Horsemen return with a new generation of illusionists performing mind-melding twists, turns, surprises, and magic unlike anything ever captured on film.

“Actually, local is lekker on Black Friday with the release of two new titles, Bird Boy, and the compilation of short films packaged as Heart & Hustle from rising young director and actor Enrico Hartzenberg. We’re thrilled to support emerging talent such as Enrico and Hartzenberg Films. Screening local films in cinema is vital to keeping the culture of cinema-going alive in South Africa, and we’re proud to play a role in showcasing stories that reflect the richness and complexity of our communities,” says Wylie.

If less harsh reality and more sweet romcom is to your liking, Eternity should make you feel good for all the right reasons. In an afterlife where souls have one week to decide where to spend eternity, Joan is faced with the impossible choice between the man she spent her life with and her first love, who died young and has waited decades for her to arrive. Releasing on 28 November, the film stars Miles Teller, Elizabeth Olsen and Callum Turner.

About Ster-Kinekor Theatres

Ster-Kinekor Theatres is the largest movie exhibitor on the African continent. To most South Africans, the word ‘movies’ is synonymous with the name ‘Ster-Kinekor’. The company operates 33 commercial cinema complexes in South Africa that house 255 large-scale screens, with 33,951 seats and the largest 3D footprint featuring over 100 state-of-the-art 3D screens in South Africa (Commercial, 3D, IMAX, Kids Cinema, Cine Prestige, and DBox). It also operates four cinema complexes in Namibia, Zimbabwe and Zambia, with 23 screens and 3,014 seats.

As the industry leader, Ster-Kinekor has pioneered cinema concepts such as Cinema Nouveau, a dedicated art-house multiplex cinema, and the luxurious Cine Prestige theatres, the first ‘business class’ cinema experience in South Africa; and has headed the return of the IMAX® Experience, with eight IMAX® Theatres across the country. Ster-Kinekor has expanded its cinema innovation to launch the first Kids’ Cinema complete with slides and bean bag seating (currently six screens) as well as D-BOX which brings movie experiences to life with motion seats. Most recently, Ster-Kinekor introduced SKX-PERIENCE Powered by Jozi X at The Zone in Rosebank, an indoor adventure hub offering axe throwing, gel blaster, splatter room and escape rooms, adding a new dimension to the Ster-Kinekor entertainment experience.

As one of South Africa’s most loved brands, it is Ster-Kinekor’s ongoing mission to become synonymous with the unrivalled magic of the cinema experience, by providing ‘Great Moments at Their Greatest’. During 2013, the company embarked on a massive roll-out project to convert and equip every cinema with the very latest in digital projection and sound technology. The result of this upgrade is that every cinema now boasts state-of-the-art cinema technology that encompasses 2K and 4K digital projection and 5.1 and 7.1 surround sound systems.

The SK Club loyalty programme rewards members with redeemable points when they swipe their card when buying movie tickets or catering, as well as half-price tickets on Tuesdays. Combined with industry-leading loyalty programmes from Edgars Club and Discovery Vitality, these give Ster-Kinekor a strong consumer value proposition and competitive advantage. Ster-Kinekor has extended its loyalty offering to include the first subscription model in South Africa: SK Subscription Club, which offers members a limited or unlimited number of movies per month at a set cost whilst also enjoying the benefits of SK Club.

As the market leader, Ster-Kinekor aims to spearhead the advancement of cinema across both South Africa and the rest of Africa, to ensure that consumers continue to experience movies as they were made to be seen – on the big screen.
