We are opposite the Manly Wharf on the East Esplanade. When you exit the Manly Ferries, turn RIGHT after the pedestrian crossing at the head of The Corso or… exiting the beach, turn left at the junction of The Corso and East Esplanade - we’re about 5 doors down on your left. Look for the big CINEMAS sign out front next to “Out Of Africa” restaurant.

Purchasing tickets in advance guarantees you a seat for each ticket purchased, however, we do not reserve specific seats in any row. Highly popular films will generate longer lines as shows sell out quickly. Large groups need to arrive early if sitting together is important. For reserving an entire auditorium for your party, please use our contact form.

Dolby technologies put you in the center of your movie-going experience. You will hear five full-range discreet channels, plus a subwoofer channel that coves the bottom one-tenth of the audible range - these are the technologies that create the experience. The dynamic range (the ratio of the loudest sounds to the softest) is significant and the full-range surround channels make lifelike special effects possible-think helicopters flying overhead. And the subwoofer sound can often be felt as well as heard.

Select a movie and enjoy a meal before or after for a combined price of $27.50pp. This offer only available Monday to Thursday - purchase from both MANLY CINEMAS and 4 PINES BREWING COMPANY (NOT available Public Holidays).

The length of time any film will play at Manly Cinemas is based on the amount of business the film generates, contractual obligations and time of the year. Basically, the more popular a film is with patrons, the longer it will play. There is no way to predict exactly how long a movie will play. Use our website to get information on what films will be playing up to five days in advance.

Our programming policy is to present a mix of chick-flicks, quality arthouse and selected mainstream movies suitable for discerning adult audiences. It is not possible for us to play every film released because we do not have enough screens and besides, more youthful & children's titles are better suited to the multiplex.
