Market Market Cinema Schedule

If you happened upon this post looking for the movie schedule of the Market Market Cinema in Taguig City, Philippines, here’s some information about that: the Market Market Cinema is not currently open, so is not showing any movies. 


You would have to be blind to live in Nairobi (please excuse my political incorrectness) and not notice the rising phenomenon that is Nu Metro, both the cinemas and mediastores. (The cinemas include the Village Market cinema, and those at The Junction Mall and Prestige Plaza.)

I say phenomenon because from having five cinemas to go to in Nairobi, that number has now doubled. Nu Metro has played a big role in that development.

Usually located at big shopping complexes, Nu Metro has brought theaters to areas that are convenient to moviegoers, i.e., places where they normally go to shop and partake in other forms of recreation.

I enjoy going to the movies.

My favorite cinemas used to be 20th Century Fox (downtown) and the Fox cinema at Sarit.

Today, I rarely go to either of these two cinemas. Instead, I go to the Nu Metro cinemas at The Village Market, The Junction, and Prestige Plaza.

I do this, not so much because I am flaky and just like whatever’s new, but because Nu Metro cinemas have gone a long way to making movie going a real treat.

From the decor to the comfort of the cinema halls, a movie at a Nu Metro cinema is a pleasure in all ways but one: cost.

  1. Nu Metro Cinemas are also taking a toll in Nigeria also. I guess its an African thing, not just Nairobi. Entertainment as it has to do with the standard that the western world has already put in place, is not up to date in africa. Africa needs to let the world know that there is originality in our art and we can give the world a whole new perspective of entertainment on TV. I do hope that new metro is up to the task. I have my eyes on you guys. Je crois en toi!

  2. Hi Dayo,

    Welcome to ChickAboutTown! The idea you advance about African entertainment being more visible in Africa is interesting. What are you suggesting? I’d like to hear more.

  3. Hi,

    Try the “mzuri monday madness”. Its Kes. 380.00 per person every Monday and it includes a hot dog, soda and pop corn. Just make sure you get there 30 minutes before show time as the lines can be long and you don’t want to get in when the movie has already started!

  4. Hi Moses,

    Thanks a lot for the tip. The Mzuri Madness promotion really is a good buy. I remember the first time I went, I had just come from having a late lunch and all the food just killed me!!!! 🙂 So a word to the wise, make sure you go to the movies with space in your tummy to take full advantage of the combo.

  5. i know its way too late but for personal reasons I would like to know what movies were showing on the 12
    June 2007 at the Nu metro Suncoast caasino and enterteinment in Durban . Please can anyone help me . it’s very urgent

  6. love your blog as you can tell I am a bit late catching up on all but better late than never. A cheap movie in the states is like 10 bucks which is like 700 bucks, so I still think Kenya has a better deal.

    funny thing last time I was in Kenya movies were like 200 shillings

    1. Hi Future diplomat,

      Welcome to ChickAboutTown – better late than never! 🙂

      Yep, movies in the US are off the hook in terms of cost! My brother once took me to the movies when I went to visit him in DC and it’s an exercise that I encourage him not to repeat. Why, when we can as easily rent a DVD and catch a good movie at home? (Not quite, but almost). I am imagine that put in the American context, though, it’s not as horrible as it looks when one converts to Kenyan Shillings, no?

      Looking forward to seeing more of you around ChickAboutTown,
      Biche
