Introduction 

Welcome to Village Roadshow's corporate website 

Founded by Mr. Roc Kirby in 1954 in Melbourne, Australia with a drive-in cinema, Village Roadshow has been listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) since 1988. With the Company’s roots still based in Melbourne, under the guiding hand of the Kirby family and Managing Director, Mr. Graham Burke, few however are aware of the breadth or the diversity of Village Roadshow's entertainment and media assets.

Today, Village Roadshow operates core businesses in Theme Parks and Attractions, Film and DVD Distribution, Cinema, Radio, Film Production and Music. While creating strong and diverse earnings streams, these businesses are complementary, targeting a similar customer demographic and providing significant cross-promotional opportunities.

In movie production, the Company is one of the most successful independent producers in Hollywood with successes including The Matrix trilogy, the Ocean's trilogy, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Happy Feet, Get Smart, I am Legend and Gran Torino.

Movie World, Sea World, Wet'n'Wild Water World and Australian Outback Spectacular, as well as Sea World Resort & Water Park and Warner Roadshow Studios.

Village Roadshow has taken this proven expertise to other animal based attractions, including Sydney Aquarium, Sydney Wildlife World, Manly Oceanworld, Koala Gallery on Hamilton Island and more recently the Kelly Tarlton’s Antarctic Encounter and Underwater World in Auckland, New Zealand.
