Upgrade works complete in cinema

Movie lovers have another reason to grab the popcorn, with Cinema 2 at The Crossing Theatre officially reopen following a major technology upgrade.

The restored cinema now features the same next-generation laser projector and modernised audio system installed in Cinema 1 last year. Audiences can expect sharp, vibrant visuals and immersive sound that elevates every screening, whether you’re into heart-racing action, toe-tapping musicals or a good old-fashioned laugh-cry.

Narrabri Shire mayor Darrell Tiemens said bringing Cinema 2 back online is a big win for local entertainment.

“Upgrading Cinema 2 means we can welcome more people through the doors and offer more movie choices each week,” Cr Tiemens said.

“The Crossing Theatre is a place where our community comes together. Families, mates’ nights, date nights, and these upgrades make the experience even better.”

“These upgrades help ensure The Crossing Theatre continues to be a destination for great entertainment.

“We’re excited to welcome audiences back into Cinema 2 and share the fun.”

Cinema 2 upgrades were delivered as part of council’s 2025/2026 Capital Works Program.
