BCC Cinemas Morayfield screened its last movie on 13 April 2022, thanking patrons for the support over the last 24 years, especially the last two years when restrictions were placed on theatres across the country because of Covid-19.
A spokesperson for the outlet confirmed that the decision to close the Morayfield cinema at the end of its lease was based on the management’s commitment to Event Cinemas Strathpine and Event Cinemas North Lakes.
With the Morayfield cinema now permanently closed, locals are left wondering what the space will be replaced with. There have been talks about building a skating rink or another cinema in the empty space.
Whilst BCC Cinemas Morayfield has closed, Event Cinemas promised to bring moviegoers the latest blockbusters and movies as well as special events from the worlds of music, theatre, arts, sport and e-sport.
Located in the Morayfield Shopping Centre in Upper Caboolture, the cinema has become the go-to of movie buffs in the area for over the last 20 years.
Now, locals would have to drive half an hour to go see a movie at the next cinema, with the nearest soon to be at Redcliffe or North Lakes.
In March 2022, Event Cinemas also permanently closed BCC Cinemas Coolangatta after more than three decades of operation.
Event Cinemas, which trades in several names including Birch Carroll & Coyle, is the largest movie exhibitor in Australia and New Zealand, with over 140 cinema complexes currently operating worldwide.
