For the first time since Proserpine’s El Dorado Picture Theatre played its final reel on December 7, 1984, the Whitsundays’ sugarcane town will be host to regular movie screenings of new releases.
The reconstructed Proserpine Entertainment Centre (PEC) will officially launch its cinema on December 12, heralding in a new age of “the pictures” in Proserpine.
Although the previous iteration of the Proserpine Entertainment Centre held movie screenings for special events only, this will be the first time a new release has been shown in the town for almost four decades.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever will be the first to grace the screen at the PEC, and Manager at Proserpine Entertainment Centre, Kate Boyd said the cinema schedules will be posted on the PEC website.
“Two sessions will be held daily during school holiday periods. Outside of this time, Cinema screenings will be held on a Sunday and Monday for a trial period, with a few interruptions for live events which have already been scheduled,” she said.
Ms Boyd said most movies held at the PEC will be recent releases, with something to suit all age ranges, with older films and nostalgia films playing on special occasions.
“The more people come to see films at the PEC, the newer releases we will receive from the distributors!” she said.
All prices can be found at the Entertainment Centre’s online box office and a Facebook page competition is running until December 9, where locals can win one of three double cinema passes to the first screening.
