Our cinema features seven large stadium-style auditoriums with luxuriously plush seats that provide optimum comfort and ambience.
We screen a discerning mix of independent, local and international films as well as film festivals, Metropolitan Opera performances, National Theatre productions and exhibition-based art films. We host special events such as Ladies' Film Night, where tickets include a glass of wine and a goodie bag, and as supporters of New Zealand film, we offer the unique opportunity to meet and talk with local filmmakers at our Film Talk Q&A events.
There's a cinema experience for everyone at Rialto Cinemas. Members of our loyalty programme, Cinebuzz Rewards, can see our Movie of the Week for $9*, access our $10* Advance Screenings and enjoy cheaper tickets on Cheap Tuesday.

We welcome you to arrive early and enjoy a drink in our cafe/bar seating area. We offer barista coffee and are fully licensed, with an extensive drinks menu filled with local wines and beer. Feeling peckish? We've got mouth-watering menu items such as our Kapiti Cheese platter or Fries Three Ways that you can enjoy with your film.
