Ster Kinekor Movies Carlton Centre

Ster-Kinekor cinemas around Johannesburg are currently featuring a variety of new releases and throwback classics, with special promotions for the mid-year school holidays. Some popular family films currently showing include How to Train Your Dragon, Lilo & Stitch, and Elio, as well as the South African-produced Jungle Beat 2: The Past. For older kids and action fans, the film F1 is also screening, particularly in the immersive IMAX format at select sites[2].

For classic movie lovers, the Ster-Kinekor Throwback Cinema series offers iconic films at a special price. In March 2025, titles such as Good Will Hunting and Inception are featured. These throwback screenings have proven popular and provide a budget-friendly outing for cinema fans[1].

Ster-Kinekor has also announced IMAX releases for major blockbusters in 2025, including Thunderbolts (May 1), Final Destination: Bloodlines (May 16), Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning (May 23), How To Train Your Dragon (June 13), F1 (June 27), Superman (July 11), and Fantastic Four: First Steps (July 25). These are only available at certain IMAX locations in Johannesburg (Eastgate, Mall of Africa, Cradlestone), but not at Carlton Centre[4].

Historically, Carlton Centre featured a Ster-Kinekor cinema that was a cultural hub, screening popular local and international movies. However, recent sources and official Ster-Kinekor promotional material do not list Carlton Centre among their operational cinemas or screening venues for current or upcoming releases[6]. Past visitors recall watching films like Drum and Cars at the Carlton Centre cinema, but there is no indication from 2025 sources that Ster-Kinekor is still operating at this location[7].

For booking and the latest screening information, tickets can be purchased at the Ster-Kinekor website or via the SK App. For further queries, customers are advised to use the Ster-Kinekor Ticketline on 0861-Movies (668 437)[2][6].
