The Roxburgh Cinema almost caught fire on the 3rd of January 2025, but thanks to it’s newly installed fire alarms Emergency services were about to put it out.

Unfortunately, just over a month later on February 6th 2025, the cinema caught fire again and was severely damaged. The building has since been demolished.

Since the original overview was written it has since been confirmed that the Roxburgh cinema was opened on December 11, 1897, making it New Zealand’s oldest cinema.

Hi there. This cinema is NOT closed. We are fundraising for digital projection equipment and are still screening 35mm films when we can source them and movies through our data projector. We will also have eCinema available soon, whilst we gather enough money to purchase digital projection equipment :)
