Lockdown Love At The Movies

Can love blossom in the midst of a lockdown?

Join Nu Metro cinemas in Pretoria this Valentine’s Day weekend for special pre-release screenings of the gripping new romantic thriller, Songbird in their regular and luxurious, in-cinema dining VIP cinemas on Saturday, 13th and Sunday, 14 February.

This dramatic movie’s action is set in 2024: the Covid-19 virus has mutated, and the world is in its fourth year of lockdown. The infected are ripped from their homes and forced into quarantine. Immune to the virus, a courier (KJ Apa) races against time to save the woman he loves (Sofia Carson) from a quarantine camp.

Feel the love at Nu Metro Menlyn Park this Sunday! You and the special person in your life are invited for the Valentyns Gaan Global Concert LIVE ON THE BIG SCREEN on Valentine’s Day from 16:00.

This themed concert is dedicated to celebrating love and romance – featuring five of South Africa’s most-loved vocalists: Kurt Darren, Demi-lee Moore, Ray Dylan, Liezel Pieters and Ricus Nel. Be swooned by 20 of the greatest love songs in superior surround sound! Bookings are now open on the Nu Metro website.

In case you didn’t know, the updated level 3 lockdown regulations now allow Nu Metro to again offer you their popular 20:00 movie shows on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays!

Here is this week’s new movie release at Nu Metro Woodlands Boulevard and Menlyn Park:

Cranston Academy: Monster Zone (PG HV)

The new animated comedy-adventure for the whole family, Cranston Academy: Monster Zone starts showing in cinemas from Friday! Bullied for his intelligence and struggling to fit in at school, Danny is a 15-year-old genius that is always coming up with crazy inventions. In his quest to prove his intelligence among his peers, Danny inadvertently opens a portal to another dimension and unleashes a slew of monsters on the school: giant flying eyeballs, two-headed dogs and a slimy pink tentacle, to name a few! The movie fun never stops at Nu Metro, as Danny must overcome the monsters of the 5th dimension (as well as those lurking inside of him)!

Nu Metro’s cinemas are open every Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and on public holidays – with all the required Covid-19 protocols in place, to keep you safe.
