Silky Otter aims to take boutique cinema to the next level in Christchurch
A new eight-screen boutique cinema in Christchurch is now operating under level 2 pandemic restrictions after a gala opening was postponed by the level 4 lockdown last month.
Silky Otter cinema in Wigram had a soft opening on July 31 and was just starting to build momentum when the level 4 lockdown took hold.
Silky Otter chief executive Neil Lambert said he hoped to hold an official gala for the new cinema around the opening of the new James Bond film No Time To Die on October 7.
The growing cinema chain is New Zealand owned and has a two-screen cinema in Auckland as well as the new Christchurch eight-screen. New cinemas are planned in Ponsonby in Auckland, Nelson and Queenstown.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
