Description
The Embassy Theatre is a cinema in Wellington, New Zealand. Originally built in 1924, it has undergone a series of remodelings and changes in ownership through the years. The building is recognized as a place of historical/cultural significance by Heritage New Zealand and is the only custom-built 1920s cinema still in use in New Zealand.
The theatre was thrust into the international cinematic limelight when it hosted the world premiere of The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King on December 1, 2003. Nearly 120,000 people lined the red carpet along Courtenay Place to watch the procession of actors and filmmakers as they made their way into the theatre for the screening. The theatre also hosted the Australasian premieres of The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers.
The theatre held a red carpet screening of King Kong in 2005 and the 2012 world premiere of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.
The Embassy Theatre also takes part in the New Zealand International Arts Festival as well as the New Zealand International Film Festival (from Wikipedia).
