Movies for a good cause

9 Nov 2015

Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Lucy, Linus and the rest of the beloved “Peanuts” gang will make an advance big-screen debut on 6 December 2015 at Event Cinemas Cairns Central and BCC Earlville for an excellent cause this year thanks to a special partnership between cinema distributor 20th Century Fox, hospitality and entertainment giant Amalgamated Holdings Limited (AHL) and the Far North Queensland Hospital Foundation.

This partnership means that not only will cinema goers have the opportunity to see Charlie Brown and Snoopy: The Peanuts Movie a month before everyone else, the proceeds from every ticket sold are being donated directly to Far North Queensland Hospital Foundation to enhance the treatment and care of sick children.

This family-friendly movie fundraiser will ensure audiences making the most of this advance-screening will be embarking on a journey with Snoopy, the world’s most lovable beagle and flying ace as he sets off on his greatest mission, taking to the skies to pursue his arch nemesis The Red Baron.  All the while his best pal, Charlie Brown, begins his own epic quest. The brain-child of Charles M. Schulz and brought to life by the creators of the ICEAGE films, Snoopy and Charlie Brown: The Peanuts Movie will prove that every underdog has his day.

 “It is hard to find a family around Australia that hasn’t been impacted – either directly or through friends or relatives – by kids needing hospital care which is one of the reasons we’re so delighted to partner with 20th Century Fox to support the invaluable service provided by our partner children’s hospitals around the country” David Seargeant, AHL managing director said.

"The Foundation is really excited to be the beneficiary of this great kids' movie," Far North Queensland Hospital Foundation fundraising and marketing manager Glenys Duncombe said. "We are thrilled with our allegiance with Event Cinemas, BCC Cinemas, Rydges Hotels, QT Resorts and AHL and love that these events benefit children in Cairns Hospital," Ms Duncombe said.

Tickets for this exclusive advance charity screening of SNOOPY AND CHARLIE BROWN: THE PEANUTS MOVIE will cost $10 each and can be bought at Get your tickets here or at cinema box offices.
