Chalkida has one indoor cinema, Magia Movietone in the centre, and a municipal open-air cinema with a long but broken history. This page shows what's on today and when, by film.
Magia Movietone, also listed as Odeon Magia, is at Avanton 83 on the corner of Iatridou, in the town centre near the market. It is the old Magia cinema, which Panos Stavridis and Lefteris Sikiotis took over at the end of 2012 and reopened as Magia Movietone. Today it is the only cinema in town. It has a single hall with a Sony 4K digital projector and Dolby Surround 7.1 sound, and it also shows films in 3D. With one screen, a few titles share the day, each at its own time, so check the time of each showing, not just which film is on.
Magia posts its programme on the cinema's own site, magiamovietone.gr, and new films join the schedule on Thursdays. You can buy tickets online on the same site or at the box office before the showing. Children's films play dubbed into Greek and are marked «ΜΕΤΑΓΛ.» on the programme. There has been a summer when Magia announced on its site that it was closing from 1 July and reopening in September, so in July and August check Mood to see whether it is showing.
The town's open-air cinema is the municipal Rex at 6 Tziardini Street. The plot belongs to the neighbouring 3rd Primary School of Chalkida and is managed by the municipal body DOAPPECH, which leases it for the season to an organisation or a private operator. That is why its history has gaps. In the summer of 2019 it opened with free screenings, when the Theatre of Chalkida used it for its bio-Mechanical Festival. In 2021 a lease to a private company fell through, even though the municipality had already carried out renovation work, and in 2022 the tender for a new lease did not go ahead because written permission to use the space had not been secured. When it runs, it opens with the warm weather and closes at the end of summer. Mood gathers the full Chalkida programme, with the time and venue of every showing.
One indoor cinema: Magia Movietone at Avanton 83, near the market. In summer the town also has the municipal Rex open-air cinema on Tziardini Street, in the years the space is leased out for the season. What's showing today is in Mood's programme.
The town's open-air cinema is the municipal Rex at 6 Tziardini Street, next to the 3rd Primary School. It does not open every summer, because it depends on the space being leased for the season, so check Mood's programme to see whether it is running.
Not always. There has been a summer when Magia closed from 1 July and reopened in September, announcing it on its site. Whether it is showing today is in Mood's programme.
Yes. The hall has Sony 4K digital projection and Dolby Surround 7.1 sound, and it also screens films in 3D. Mood shows the format next to every showing.
For Magia, buy online on the cinema's site, magiamovietone.gr, or at the box office before the showing. Check the time on Mood first, because the single hall changes film during the day.
