With a name that stands for ‘food and movies’, FoMo takes two of the greatest things in life very seriously.
Enjoy your favourite flicks with sweet popcorn, freshly chopped salads, piping-hot pizza, burgers, sandwiches, and desserts! Outside of the regular menu, the in-house chefs are always on standby to serve something to suit every movie and mood, while the cinema offers the best new releases, old-school classics, cutting-edge projection and sound with comfortable seating.
Oh did I mention it’s also free of ads? Instead of having movie trailers and product ads shoved onto your face, enjoy a short, bespoke pre-show to your film of choice as you check out the menu and relax into film mode!
Visit the theatre next month for momentous screenings, each accompanied by its specials that will be paired with the film. It’s in East Brunswick Village, 113 Nicholson Street, with 2.5 hours of free on-site parking!
