Largest screen in KZN opens at new Ballito Junction Cineplex this week
The much anticipated Nu Metro multi-format cinema experience is coming to the Dolphin Coast
Ballito residents can look forward to a whirlwind of entertainment as Nu Metro Cinemas gears up for their grand 8-screen cinema complex opening at the new Ballito Junction Regional mall this week.
Within one cinema complex, movie fans can now opt to either see movies in 3D or 2D in cinemas equipped with the best digital projection and sound systems, or there is the superior, larger-than-life quality of Xtreme.
And for those looking for luxurious in-cinema dining, there is VIP.
The two VIP cinemas upgrade the Nu Metro experience to first class-quality with luxurious, recliner seating, a VIP lounge/bar and an à la carte menu prepared in the cinemas own kitchen.
It is the cinema destination of choice for discerning moviegoers, who enjoy intimate in-cinema dining experiences that are a cut above regular cinema fare.
The VIP lounge also doubles up as an eventing venue and will be available for hire for corporate and private functions.
“Nu Metro has entered a new era of going to the movies, by significantly improving the level and manner in which movies are viewed, along with the overall cinemagoing experience; leading the way with multi-format cinema options at most of its complexes nationwide,” said Nitesh Matai, Nu Metro: Managing Executive.
“We are excited to introduce KZN to our Xtreme brand of cinemas, following its success in Johannesburg, Pretoria and Cape Town.”
Xtreme will make moviegoers sit up in awe with the largest cinema screen in KZN – featuring top-of-the-range Ultra High Definition quality.
It will also feature the next-generation Dolby Atmos sound system – making it only the 4th Dolby Atmos-cinema in SA.

Standard movie shows are in 2K HD – 4K therefore means double the digital perfection, bringing viewers as close as possible to experiencing what they see onscreen in virtual reality.
This ultra-realistic audiovisual Xtreme experience is further enhanced through RealD’s Precision White Screen-technology (PWS) – delivering a much sharper, brighter and more realistic image compared to other standard cinema screens.
Nu Metro Ballito Junction will also have a dedicated stand for Poptopia – gourmet-popcorn delight at its best.
All the standard cinemas in the complex will be equipped with Dolby 7.1 sound, top-of-the-range digital projection technology, striking new interior décor, contemporary seating design, improved customer service counters and lots of other features to make this new cinema a must-stop destination for entertainment enthusiasts on the North Coast.
