Regent Cinemas Albury Wodonga

Established nearly one hundred years ago, Regent Cinemas has evolved from a single-screen theatre to a prestigious nine-screen multiplex, offering an expansive cinematic experience. With five traditional cinemas, two luxurious Gold Class cinemas, the family-friendly Regent Junior cinema, the Regent Lounge, and Cinema 1 (a heritage-listed theatre featuring its original decorative detailing) Regent Cinemas stands as Albury Wodonga’s premier family entertainment destination.

Since opening its doors to the public in 1927, Regent Cinemas has been a pillar of the Albury Wodonga community, adapting alongside the city’s growth and development. Acquired by the Smith family in the 1930s, it has remained under their dedicated ownership and operation for three generations.

While the city centre has undergone many transformations, Regent Cinemas has remained a steadfast presence, continuously evolving to meet the changing needs of the community. Drawing diverse audiences from all ages and backgrounds with varied tastes, the establishment is renowned for offering a wide range of viewing options and exceptional service to moviegoers.

Regent Cinemas has not only stood the test of time as a premier entertainment destination but has also actively contributed to the cultural enrichment of Albury Wodonga. Throughout its history, the beloved venue has fostered multigenerational bonds, where grandparents have shared their first cinema experience with grandchildren in the very same theatres. This enduring legacy makes Regent Cinemas a truly special place cherished by multiple generations of the Albury Wodonga community.
