Why it's worth checking out
Wallis Entertainment sits on Cowper Street in Glenelg, the bustling seaside suburb in one of Adelaide's most popular beach areas. A long-running cinema, it's a beloved local fixture — the kind of comfortable, well-regarded picture theatre that's been entertaining Glenelg locals and visitors for years, perfectly placed near the beach and the Jetty Road precinct.
The appeal is that combination of a quality cinema experience and a great Glenelg location, ideal for catching the latest releases, a family outing or a night at the movies paired with a meal or a walk along the beach. Its handy seaside position makes it an easy and popular choice.
With a 4.5 rating from more than 1,400 reviews, it's clearly a firm favourite. Sessions, films, ticketing and opening hours vary entirely with the program, and popular screenings can sell out, so it's worth checking the current schedule and booking before you go — and pairing a film with a wander along Jetty Road or the Glenelg beachfront to make a full outing of it.
