Two new spine-chilling horror movies also start showing this week.
Ladies, bookings are now open for you to enjoy another spectacular Girls’ Night Out at Nu Metro The Glen on 17 October, featuring a special pre-release screening of Maleficent: Mistress of Evil – drinks, snacks, goodie bags and Hollywood Premiere-style glamour included. Be one of the first to see Angelina Jolie continuing the adventure-filled fantasy-saga of Disney’s most notorious villain in the month of Halloween…
R50 120 was donated to the FOUR PAWS Animal Welfare Foundation by Nu Metro Cinemas last week – to “Rise Up and Roar” for one of the 21st century’s most important conservation causes. A donation drive was launched in July, whereby cinemagoers nationwide were given an opportunity to donate R5 as part of their movie ticket purchases online and in-cinema to raise funds aimed at saving South Africa’s lions. “We will continue to support the wonderful work done by organisations such as FOUR PAWS – making the world a better place for our children, and their children’s children,” said Chantelle Burrows, Nu Metro Cinemas: Marketing & Content Executive.
