After announcing its arrival late last year, new-comer FoMo is set to pop corn for the first time to debut a new premium approach to the cinema-going experience that celebrates film nostalgia.
Say hello to in-theater dining. With a touch of a button built into your seat, it’s order up on New York-style deli sandos, hand-stretched pizzas, and a plethora of local brews and cocktails—among plenty of classic cinema snacks. All of which will be discreetly delivered directly to you mid-film.
Co-founders Barry Peak and Natalie Miller AO come with a wealth of cinema experience from their years at Cinema Nova and Palace Cinemas. As cinephiles themselves, all like-minded movie buffs will be glad to know the usual Maltesers ads have been replaced with an interactive twenty-minute pre-show experience. Test your knowledge with the flurry of movie trivia and quizzes, then enjoy all the usual trailers for upcoming blockbusters and highly anticipated releases.
Step into the world of Denis Villeneuve’s Blade Runner through the striking interiors—neon decor, and retro-futuristic furniture, plus nostalgic posters adorning the walls. There’s six state-of-the-art cinemas, all ready to roll with high quality projection and immersive sound design. The largest 114-seater cinema offers laser 4K display for the ultimate viewing experience.
FoMo Cinemas is set to open Thursday 18 January at 5 Bluestone Way, East Brunswick. Keep your eyes peeled on further details and session times here.
