Sun Pictures – Broome: (Worlds best cinema)

Our building was built by LH Tadich in 1920. It was one of the first drive-through garages in Melbourne – at a time when Melbourians were buying their first motor vehicles. In the mid-20s, you could get you car serviced or you could buy an Oldsmobile for around 500 pounds from Mr. Tadich. The business changed hands several times and was an Ampol Petrol Station in the mid 80s. It was briefly a second hand furniture shop before we took over the lease and converted it into a fully independent single screen cinema.

We try to keep our prices reasonable & affordable. Full price tickets: $22.00 Concession $18.00 Breakfast Club members: $16.50 Wednesdays – All tickets for all sessions: $14.50 Wednesdays – Cry baby sessions: $14.50 (babies free!) Monday Special!
