So they do what any two mature adults would do: pretend to be a couple.

MIGRATION – Destination Jamaica

This holiday season, Illumination, creators of the blockbuster Minions, Despicable Me, Sing and The Secret Life of Pets comedies, invites you to take flight into the thrill of the unknown in the action-packed new original comedy, Migration.

The Mallard family is in a bit of rut. While dad, Mack, is content to keep his family safe paddling around their New England pond forever, mom, Pam, is eager to shake things up and show their kids — teen son Dax and duckling daughter Gwen —the whole wide world. After a migrating duck family alights on their pond with thrilling tales of far-flung places, Pam persuades Mack to embark on a family trip, via New York City, to tropical Jamaica.

Directed by Benjamin Renner

PRICE INCREASE

Thank you for being loyal patrons and for your support over these many years.

In the past, we have tried to keep our admission prices fairly stable, but after careful review during the last few months, we were forced to increase admission prices at the cinemas.

As you are aware, the company went through great difficulty during the COVID-19 pandemic and had to borrow funds, resulting in interest costs – a situation which we had never faced before. Our staff had to work under greatly reduced compensation and had no increases over the past four years. We had to address this, coupled with pressing inflationary elements in the system–some beyond normal levels, such as security, up by 40 per cent; insurance, up by 80 per cent; and the percentage of revenue paid to film companies, which has increased by 25 per cent.

Please remember that Monday evenings and Tuesday matinees are still available at half price, and you can continue to take advantage of these discounted prices.

Be assured, this has been a very painful decision for us and we ask for your patient understanding.
