Cinema exhibition is where Village Roadshow started from. Today Village Roadshow and its strategic partners operate approximately 660 cinemas across 4 countries where state of the art complexes have set industry standards.

Since early 2000, the group had embarked on a major strategic program to improve the return on its exhibition investment. This program has seen the group reduce the number of territories in which it operates and improving the efficiency of the division having totally exited Hong Kong, Thailand, Malaysia, India, Switzerland, Hungary, France, New Zealand, Fiji, Germany, Austria, Argentina, Taiwan, Korea and in the United Kingdom as well as completing a major overhaul of its operating structure.

Measured international expansion will continue although the cinema roll-out is focused only on those sites and territories with superior return characteristics. Importantly, Exhibition remains a core division of the group and the company is committed to developing one of the world’s highest quality cinema circuits that continues to generate strong returns.

In Australia, Village Cinemas is one of the country's largest cinema operators, with an interest in screens across all Australian states. Since beginning operations in the 1950's Village Cinemas has not only expanded the number of cinemas it operates, it has enriched the cinema going experience. In particular Village Roadshow was one of the first companies to develop the multiplex concept and make stadium seating a standard fixture in all its cinemas.

The creation of ‘entertainment destinations’ and not just cinemas is central to the division’s strategy, aiming to increase attendances by enhancing the movie going culture in its chosen markets. The division has also sought to widen the appeal of going to the movies by creating new concept cinemas attractive to a broader demographic. As part of this approach the division has developed concepts such as Gold Class, Cinema Europa and now the new larger screens.

Gold Class Cinemas are luxury, premium venues offering personalised levels of service; smaller more private and intimate cinemas; customer designed recliner seating and state of the art projection and sound systems. These new style cinemas have been particularly popular for corporate functions and those looking for a more memorable movie going experience. Village Roadshow is expanding this Gold Class concept into key locations in the USA market.

Cinema Europa provides higher levels of comfort than regular cinemas and offers a selection of movies aimed at specific tastes outside traditional and recent releases. Through these cinemas, Village Roadshow has redefined the cinema going experience and in the process has broadened attendances. Consistent with its strategy of extending the movie going experience, Village Cinemas also manages a number of amusement centres generally adjacent to its cinema complexes. Called "Intencity", these centres provide a range of arcade style games including the latest real action amusements.
