THIS WEEK AT WHAKAMAX 🎬

It’s time to defy the gods. Christopher Nolan’s THE ODYSSEY releases this Thursday.

In the last days of the school holidays, if you feel like catching a flick with the whānau, we have MOANA (in Cinema One all week), TOY STORY 5, and MINIONS. We also have MICHAEL still going strong.

SUPERGIRL and JACKASS: BEST AND LAST are in their last days so be sure to stop in and catch them on the big screen before they’re gone!
