South Africa’s second-largest cinema chain, Nu Metro Cinemas, is set to launch its first cinema in Zimbabwe, bringing a breath of fresh air to the local film scene.
This eagerly anticipated opening will take place at Sam Levy’s Village in Borrowdale, following the departure of Ster-Kinekor, which recently exited the space after their lease was not renewed.
With the closure of Ster-Kinekor’s Bulawayo branch and the remaining cinema in Harare now being the Ster-Kinekor Joina City, the arrival of Nu Metro comes as a welcome development for moviegoers.
This new establishment promises to reinvigorate the cinema culture in Zimbabwe, providing a new venue for film lovers to enjoy the latest blockbusters and local productions alike.
Established in South Africa, Nu Metro has a reputation for supporting local filmmakers, a practice that they are expected to continue in Zimbabwe.
By showcasing Zimbabwean films alongside international releases, the cinema chain will provide a crucial platform for local talent, helping to elevate the country’s film industry.
This initiative can foster creativity, inspire budding filmmakers, and ultimately contribute to a richer cultural landscape.
Nu Metro operates over 22 cinemas with 152 screens across Southern Africa, including locations in Zambia and Mozambique.
Their expansion into Zimbabwe highlights their commitment to the region and their desire to provide quality entertainment options.
With a focus on delivering an exceptional cinematic experience, moviegoers in Harare can look forward to a diverse selection of films, comfortable seating, and the latest in cinematic technology.
