School holidays have arrived and children around the country are enjoying time outside of the classroom.
It also means parents around the country are desperately looking for activities to keep their youngsters occupied until schools reopen.
Re-enter: The humble cinema. You might remember it from pre-COVID times.
As of late March, cinema admissions have finally started hitting their pre-COVID levels, with more than 897,000 Australians attending on the weekend between March 25 and 28.
That’s in stark contrast to this time in 2020, when parents had to get really creative to keep their kids entertained.
Thankfully you don’t have to try as hard this year – let the cinema big screen be their babysitter.
Here’s what’s playing at the moment.
