IMAX Cape Gate: What’s Showing?
For an immersive cinematic experience, look no further than the IMAX 3D theatre at Ster Kinekor CapeGate.
By Inside Guide • 17 January 2019
When the IMAX theatre at the V&A Waterfront closed down in 2004, scores of moviegoers were left bitterly disappointed. Fast forward to 2014: IMAX returned to the Mother City, with its new home at Ster Kinekor CapeGate.
Like all IMAX cinemas across the globe, the CapeGate theatre has a crystal-clear projection system, world-class digital sound and, of course, a floor-to-ceiling and wall-to-wall screen that’s all-encompassing – why would you want to watch movies anywhere else?
What’s showing at IMAX Cape Gate?
Movie-goers can look forward to an exciting season of blockbusters like Maleficent: Mistress of Evil.

Good to know
- Holders of a Discovery Vitality card enjoy reduced prices, as do IMAX seniors.
- Ster Kinekor Club members enjoy reduced prices on Tuesdays.
- Edgars Club members get 60% off when they purchase two tickets (can only be used once per day).

Hi Brenda
I’m sorry to hear you can’t get a hold of Ster Kinekor to check if Bohemian Rhapsody will be showing on Imax. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like it will be showing on Imax. However, I cannot confirm that as we are also unable to reach Ster Kinekor either.

Thank you
Michelle de Bruin •
Hi Leanne,
The Ster-Kinekor website shows that The Meg will be released on Thursday, 9 August, but it hasn’t confirmed show times and cinemas yet. Visit this page again on 3 August for updated show times.
Leanne •
Thank you so much!!!!
Natalie •
Will you be showing Batman – The Dark Knight?, If so when?
The Inside Guide •
Hi Natalie, the Imax Cape Gate shows new release films, whereas The Dark Knight – great a film as it is – is 10 years old. However, the Galileo Open Air Cinema screens classic films, and have screened The Dark Knight before. Their new season starts in October, we suggest you watch this space as we will update their schedule as soon as it is available: https://insideguide.co.za/cape-town/things-to-do/galileo-open-air-cinema/.
The Inside Guide •
Hi Natalie, thanks again for your message. We’ve just learnt that Batman: The Dark Knight is being re-released for the 10 year anniversary but only in New York, San Francisco, California and Toronto.
