Mockingbird Cinema takeover our Giant Screen
Calling all film enthusiasts! We have a summer of cinema that you won’t want to miss.
As normality begins to return, we are super excited to announce a new partnership with our friends at Mockingbird Cinema. After viewing our newly refurbished Auditorium, Mockingbird were keen to get on board with Millennium Point, to use our giant screen for “Big Screen Film Season”.
Who are the Mockingbird?
Since 2015, the fully-independent Mockingbird Cinema has been entertaining cinema fans with its mix of new and classic film screenings at its nearby Digbeth venue – a restored Victorian Factory. They have recently announced its intention to expand with a second screen opening later in the year. More information can be found here.
What films are being shown?
Film enthusiasts you will not be disappointed, with a collection of the newest blockbusters and a collection of much-loved classics, hitting the big screen in Eastside this summer.
To make things better you haven’t got long to wait, with the first screening taking place on Thursday 29th July. Marvel Studios’ action-packed spy thriller Black Widow, one of 2021’s biggest cinema releases is the first movie to be shown, featuring Scarlett Johansson and Florence Pugh. To conclude the opening day, we also have the 1980s classic The Lost Boys, a teen comedy horror film starring Corey Haim and Keifer Sutherland.
As we continue throughout the summer we have some great screenings you won’t want to miss including the newly released In The Heights, the award winning The greatest Showman, 1970s horror Jaws and the original Jurassic Park.
