April opening for Masters Midcity
Lang Masters’s eighth cinema in his chain of theatres in Christchurch, the Midcity, at 147 Hereford Street, opposite the National Mutual Centre, is expected to open at the .beginning of April. The cinema will be upstairs, at the back of a new two-storey building, which will also include two shops downstairs on the Hereford
Street frontage, and offices upstairs, in the front. The passageway from Hereford Street to the southeast corner of the Cathedral Square is being restored. Leased car parking also will be availabe at the back of the new building. The cinema, which will seat 456, is scheduled to open with “Americana,” a film bought off David Carradine
at the Cannes Film Festival last May. Carradine is expected to be in Christchurch for the opening of the Midcity and the world premiere of his film. The American actor started his own studios with “Americana,” which he wrote, directed and starred in with a former girlfriend, Barbara Hershey.
