COMPETITION: What’s new at the movies?

Whether you are enjoying the school holidays or looking forward to a mini-break, or are just a movie fan who can’t get enough of cinema magic, Nu Metro will ensure that the fun never stops.

Good news: all this week’s new movies start showing at Nu Metro cinemas in Pretoria two days earlier – from Wednesday, 20 March. Plus, all Nu Metro’s Pretoria cinemas (including Mamelodi) have back-up generators – escape the worries and chill with your favourite movie on the big screen even when load-shedding strikes.

Old-school magic meets the modern world in the epic fantasy adventure, The Kid Who Would Be King. Full-throttle action fans can look forward to the return of Liam Neeson in the new thriller, Cold Pursuit, packed with irreverent humour. If it’s horror you want, Escape Room is guaranteed to give you chills with some psychological thrills.

The gripping dramatic thriller Destroyer showcases Nicole Kidman in a critically acclaimed role like you’ve never seen her before – as the film follows an undercover cop infiltrating gang culture to finally reckon with the demons that destroyed her past.
