What's on at Arc Cinema - September 🎬

Kick off the month with a gritty drama in The Death of Robin Hood! 🏹 If you like high-stakes history, then check out Pressure, or if you didn't catch the boys during last year's reunion, you can catch the magic with Don't Look Back in Anger.

The releases keep coming as the nights draw in. We have family-friendly Shaun the Sheep, brought to you by our very own Nick Park. 🐑 Experience a spooky and charmful mashup in Practical Magic, retro nostalgia in Transformers, and the terrifying reimagining of Resident Evil.

The end of the month brings in a taste of romance in the highly anticipated Sense and Sensibility. 📜 And Marvel fans can catch the exclusive 4-minute preview that might redefine everything we thought we knew ahead of Avengers: Doomsday.

Don't forget, you get 3.5 hours of FREE parking at Animate while you enjoy your film.
