Millennium Point’s giant screen to reopen at half capacity for film favourites

BIRMINGHAM is set to get a new sociallydistanced cinema at Millennium Point.

The venue’s giant auditorium – formerly the IMAX cinema – is kicking off its series of screenings on Monday, July 27 with family favourite Trolls World Tour.

This will be followed by Tarantino classic Pulp Fiction on Friday, July 31, another showing of Trolls World Tour on Saturday, August 1, and, later the same day, Sex and the City: The Movie – with bottomless prosecco. Millennium Point has been working hard to implement new hygiene and safety measures, to ensure all Government guidelines are met. The auditorium, which at full capacity can host 354 people, will be reduced to 181 seats to allow for social distancing and all seats will be allocated in advance to pre-paid ticket holders. A deep clean will be carried out between performances and all screenings will be contactless.

Rebecca Delmore, commercial director at Millennium Point, said: “As the country starts to emerge from lockdown, we wanted to put on a series of fun and affordable events that appeal to a wide range of people, from families and couples to groups of friends.

“The whole team has gone above and beyond to make sure we can safely adapt our spaces. We have a huge amount of experience in running events of all sizes, and our first priority was to make the venue as safe as possible.”
