Capitol Cinema saved from closure

From Afternoons, 1:25 pm on 27 May 2019

Film lovers can celebrate - the beloved Capitol Cinema has been saved.

The iconic theatre in the heart of Auckland closed its doors last month because of economic concerns, but local industry veterans Kelly Rogers and David Ross have now committed to a long-term lease of the cinema to keep it going. 

It's set to reopen this Thursday, so Kelly is with us in studio to tell us why he wanted to rescue the Capitol.
