Hawthorne Cinema Brisbane

If you want to experience watching your favorite movie on really giant screen; then head for the Hawthorne cinema in Brisbane. One of the oldest cinema halls in Brisbane, Hawthorne cinema in Brisbane was built in the 1940s. The cinema hall, in keeping with the modern times, was later transformed into a multiplex. The multiplex is however a small one with only three screens.

The halls in this multiplex are named as Cinema 1, Cinema 2 and Cinema 3. Cinema 1 is however the original auditorium with a very large curved screen. Cinema 1 can house 510 people. The screen is 56 foot or 17.1 meter wide and the Dolby Digital/DTS/SDDS sound system ensures proper sound transmission even to the person sitting in the last row. Save the IMAX cinema, no other auditorium in Brisbane has that large projection screen.

Cinema 2 and Cinema 3 are however much smaller auditoriums. There are only 200 seats in the Cinema 2. Though small, this hall too has DTS/Dolby Digital sound system installed.

Cinema 3 is even smaller with seating arrangement for only 140 audiences. The hall also has Dolby SR system installed.
