With sleek architectural design that brings natural light into the

brilliant movie-going experience, the cinema is inspired by its name.
Each of ‘Ōlino’s
well-appointed auditoriums feature luxurious electric recliner seats,
expansive wall-to-wall screens and pristine digital projection by Barco,
the leader in digital cinema technology. Expanding on the cutting edge
technology from the iconic TITAN XC at Ward Theatres, ‘Ōlino

enjoy the comfort of luxurious electric recliner seats and the newest
Dolby Atmos multi-channel immersive sound, while watching Hollywood’s
latest blockbusters on one of Hawai‘i’s biggest screens.
In addition to the traditional cinema concessions and 140 flavors
offered by Coca-Cola Freestyle, a menu of locally inspired and freshly
prepared items has been curated by former Food Network executive, Bruce
Seidel (Hot Lemon Productions), and former Food Network chef, Santos
Loo. Unique items guests can enjoy before, during or after their film
include a Kim Chee Burger, Banh Mi-Style Hot Dog and Loaded Baked Potato
Fries. A diverse selection of craft beers on draft and wines will be
offered during select showtimes to guests ages 21 and over. Local
specialty items from around the island will be offered including a full
gourmet coffee menu from Kai Coffee Hawaii, mini pies from The Hawaiian

“As a kama‘āina company, we are proud to offer a new and exciting
entertainment destination in West O‘ahu, with a focus on local food and
hospitality with aloha,” said Lindsey Chun-Hori, director of marketing
of Consolidated Theatres Hawai‘i.

retro film series featuring beloved 80’s classics such as Top Gun
and The Goonies; Crybaby Matinee, a movie experience designed for
