Paradise Cinemas

More than 10,000 people watched the movie since its advanced screening last Wednesday, April 25, through to the weekend.

Arriving with unprecedented excitement, mystery, and anticipation, “Avengers: Infinity War” dropped to a record-shattering sold-out crowd, creating a new milestone in PNG cinema history.

All sessions last Saturday were sold out and Sunday sessions did very well too.

This marks the biggest-ever opening weekend in Paradise Cinemas since it opened in 2012.

Rachel Kramer Bussel, an author on CNN, is one who politely argues otherwise.

“Yes, there's two hours of silence, but there's also making the plan to meet up, waiting for the movie to start, eating the popcorn, dissecting it afterwards, all of which can give you insight into what a guy is like and giving you something other than yourselves to talk about.”

So keeping our promise to source out “love havens”, Loop PNG lifestyle, stopped by at the Paradise Cinema.

You cannot deny the cinemas is definitely a spot for lovers.

Wonder Woman

She was raised on a sheltered island paradise – known as Diana, princess of the Amazons and trained to be an unconquerable warrior.

It will be shown in its entirety, without cuts, unlike in other countries. 

The movie has been reviewed and rated by Richard Tabel, an officer of the Censors Board of PNG, last Tuesday.  

Tabel mentioned that Beauty and the Beast has huge followers in PNG and that the supposed gay scenes are either very subtle or none at all in the live action rendition of Beauty and The Beast. 

The Paradise Cinemas will be premiering this Disney movie today at its Waigani Central branch at 11am.

Paradise Cinema at Vision City will show later on in the day at 1 pm.

Moana is an adventurous teenager who sets on a quest to save her island and restore ecological balance to the planet.

Moana is voiced by Auli’i Cravalho while her sidekick demi-god Maui is voiced by Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson who is also known as a Pacific Islander. 

Disney developed the movie with very careful consideration of Pacific culture.

This is why it’s good to know that Paradise Cinema is bringing PNG’s favourite movie back to the big screen this year through “Paradise Cinema CLASSICS,” so even more people have the opportunity to see this great film of yesteryears at the theatres.

There will be several sessions to be played throughout the week so that everyone will have the chance to watch. This would be played in the cinemas for a limited time only.
