M-Net Movies, known for its popular movie channels on Multichoice’s DStv, is taking the subscriber movie-experience beyond the couch, to the cinemas.
In partnership with Filmhouse Cinemas and Silverbird Cinemas, M-Net Movies is giving away tickets to the pre-screening of newly released Hollywood Blockbuster movies in Nigeria.
According to the Company, the scheme implies that before some selected Hollywood titles are screened in Nigerian cinemas, lucky movie-lovers and their companions will be able to view them first.
Launching in Nigeria on August 28, 2013 with the movie, “We’re the Millers”, at the Filmhouse cinemas, the M-Net Movies Silver Screening is open to DStv Subscribers on all bouquets, reinforcing its position as the home of movie firsts in Africa.
According to Pierre Cloete, director, “M-Net and M-Net Movies Channels, “the M-Net Movies Silver Screening aligns perfectly with M-Net Movies’ mission to provide exciting and entertaining movie experiences to viewers.
“We trust that these events will become unmissable monthly calendar highlights for fans of the movies,” he continued.
To win tickets monthly, subscribers will be asked to send an email indicating their interest to mnetmovies@dstv.com. From the pool of emails, winners will be randomly selected and a confirmation email will be sent to them. All winners will then have to confirm their availability to secure their place on the guests list. Winners will be selected on a first- come-first-served basis.
FilmHouseCinemas have cinemas in Calabar, Surulere, Lagos and Ibadan while Silverbird Cinemas has cinemas in Victoria Island, Ikeja, Accra, Uyo, Port-Harcourt and Abuja. On the day of the screening, winners will only need to come with the email as evidence and the partner Cinema house will provide complimentary popcorn and a drink.
“We’re the Millers will be screened at the Filmhouse Cinemas in Calabar, Ibadan and Surulere, Lagos only and limited seats are available,” Cloete added.
M-Net Movies Silver Screenings will be held at least once a month depending on the number of big titles released in a particular month.
