Hi over the last couple or so years we have added Cinema 4 with 30 seats, replaced 100 seats with larger more comfortable seats in Cinema 1 and improved the flow and number of seats in our cinema 3 to 132, an overall increase to 386 seats. please also note the correct link to our website is www.thevic.co.nz

I feel for all cinema operators, distributors, studios and all associated professions that are affected by the pandemic. It’s been an extraordinarily difficult time and we count ourselves lucky to be able to screen films on a daily basis here in Auckland City.

All the best wishes for 2021

Philipp (Operator)

Just to update some of this information. we have three theatres The Victoria – Cinema 1 – with 180 seats; The Benwell – Cinema 2 – with 44 seats; The Albert – Cinema 3 – with 116 seats; a total of 340 seats

the theatre’s phone number is 0064 9 446 0100

I would love to find out more about the theatre’s history, i.e. what / who was operating in the building alongside the cinema? Does anyone have information about the early life of the theatre? I heard there was a newsprint business, a jewelry shop, and also what was in the theatre? I heard there was a ‘candy nook’ and a ‘cocktail lounge’? is this correct?

cheers Philipp – current operator
