"Superman: The Movie" Screening in Avondale, New Zealand
Posted on June 19, 2023 by Neil Cole
Superman fans in New Zealand will have the opportunity to see "Superman: The Movie" on the silver screen when the historic Hollywood Avondale Theatre in Avondale, NZ presents a special screening of the 35mm theatrical cut of the 1978 blockbuster film on Sunday, June 25th at 4:00PM.
One of the most well-regarded superhero films of all time, Superman was a box-office smash when it rocketed to Earth in 1978. The last son of the dead planet Krypton, Kal-El (Christopher Reeve) is found as a baby by Jonathan (Glenn Ford) and Martha Kent (Phyllis Thaxter) when his spaceship crashes just outside of Smallville, USA. Given the name "Clark" by his adopted parents, the boy grows up strong in the American heartland, developing amazing powers under the light of the yellow sun. One day, Clark finds a glowing crystal, and with it finds out about his alien heritage, the knowledge imparted to him by his birth father, Jor-El (Marlon Brando). The boy becomes a man, and moves to Metropolis to work for the Daily Planet newspaper, finding love in Lois Lane (Margot Kidder) and danger in the form of criminal genius Lex Luthor (Gene Hackman).
Tickets for the screening are NZD$12.00 for members and NZD$15.00 for non-members. For more information or to purchase tickets, please visit HollywoodAvondale.nz.
