During November, enjoy a wave of cinematic nostalgia exclusively at select Ster-Kinekor sites nationwide. The popular Throwback Cinema initiative continues to offer moviegoers the ultimate trip down memory lane, screening beloved classics, iconic rom-coms, and cult favourites exactly as they were made to be seen. 

Even better, fans can enjoy these timeless masterpieces at the unbeatable throwback price of just R50 per ticket.  So, whether you are looking to revisit an old favourite or introduce a classic to a new generation, Ster-Kinekor’s November line-up promises unmatched big-screen entertainment.

In anticipation of the release of the next title in the dystopian sci-fi Hunger Games franchise, The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, on 20 November at Ster-Kinekor cinemas nationally – including in IMAX and APEX cinemas, fans have the chance to relive the 2023 film, The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes. The film screens at select cinemas nationally until 12 November.

64 years before he becomes the tyrannical president of Panem, Coriolanus Snow sees a chance for a change in fortunes when he mentors Lucy Gray Baird, the female tribute from District 12, during the 10th Hunger Games. Directed by Francis Lawrence, the film’s cast includes Rachel Zegler, Tom Blyth and Viola Davis.

On Friday 13 November, movie lovers are invited to dive into a beloved 1980s classic that blends romance, fantasy, and comedy. Splash follows the story of a hardworking New Yorker who falls head-over-heels in love with a mysterious woman, the girl of his dreams. There's one big complication though: he's fallen hook, line and sinker for a mermaid who rescued him from drowning as a child. Directed by Ron Howard, the film stars Tom Hanks, Daryl Hannah, John Candy, and Eugene Levy.

The Craft (first screened in 1996) releases on Friday 20 November for two weeks, just in time for those craving a bit of cult-classic supernatural edge. The film follows a newcomer at a Catholic school who falls in with a trio of outcast teenage girls. Together, they begin practicing witchcraft, conjuring spells and curses against those who have wronged them – be they teachers, rivals or meddlesome parents – only to discover that dark magic also carries dangerous consequences. Directed by Andrew Fleming, the film stars Robin Tunney, Fairuza Balk, Neve Campbell, and Rachel True.

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 32 commercial cinema complexes in South Africa that house 248 large-scale screens, with 32 691 seats and the largest 3D footprint featuring over 100 state-of-the-art 3D screens in South Africa (Commercial 3D, APEX Cinema, IMAX, Kids Cinema and Cine Prestige). 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 nine 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 eight screens), D-BOX, which brings movie experiences to life with motion seats, and APEX Cinema, Ster-Kinekor’s own premium large-format experience featuring immersive 4K laser projection and advanced sound. 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, and launched Africa’s first-ever Free-Roam Virtual Reality Arena housed within a cinema complex at Ster-Kinekor Tyger Valley, adding new dimensions 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.
