Ster-Kinekor’s school holiday lineup features Toy Story 5, Minions & Monsters, Moana, Supergirl, family deals and exciting cinema experiences.
As schools close for the mid-year break, Ster-Kinekor is rolling out an exciting entertainment lineup designed to keep families entertained throughout the holidays.
From beloved animated characters and family adventures to blockbuster action films and special cinema experiences, Ster-Kinekor is positioning itself as the ultimate holiday destination for movie lovers of all ages.
Leading the holiday releases is Toy Story 5, arriving in IMAX® cinemas from 19 June. The latest chapter in the iconic franchise reunites Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Jessie and the rest of the toy box gang as they face a new challenge when Bonnie becomes obsessed with a Lilypad tablet. South African audiences have an added reason to celebrate, with global music star Tyla lending her voice to a brand-new character, the Inflatable Flamingo.
The fun continues with Minions & Monsters, releasing on 26 June. The film follows the chaotic journey of the Minions as they conquer Hollywood, become movie stars, unleash monsters on the world and attempt to save the planet from the mayhem they created.
