Get your favourite film onto the big screen by hosting a screening of Predator (1987) starring the legendary Arnold Schwarzenegger. This action-packed classic is perfect for a movie night with work friends, a birthday party, or a community get-together. Nothing beats the thrill of seeing Dutch face off against the unseen enemy in a cinema filled with excitement. Memorable moments like the iconic “I ain’t got time to bleed” resonate even more on the big screen. Released in 1987, Predator grossed over $98 million, blending sci-fi and action like no other, thanks to director John McTiernan's masterful vision. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to relive the nostalgia!
Create a screening
Screenwave helps film fans bring classic, cult, and fan-favourite films back to local cinemas. Anyone can start a screening, share it, and invite others to back it. Once the funding target is reached, Genesis Cinema confirms the date.
John McTiernan made Predator for one reason — to be seen on the biggest screen possible. The kind of film that loses something on a laptop, a tablet, or even a TV. 1h 47m that deserve your full attention and a darkened room. See it properly or don't see it at all.
So create a screening. Bring your mates, your family, your colleagues, your neighbours, that friend who's never seen it and needs to. Pack the seats with people who get it — or people who are about to. This is your cinema. Your film. Your night. Make it one to remember.
