First opened in 1928, the Regent Theatre has been a beloved Ballarat landmark for nearly a century. Following a decade-long closure and extensive restoration, it reopened on 11 November 1976. Now proudly operating as Palace Regent Ballarat, we’re honouring this milestone with one of cinema’s greatest underdog stories.
Winner of three Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Rocky stars Sylvester Stallone as a small-time Philadelphia boxer handed the chance of a lifetime against heavyweight champion Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers). With the odds stacked against him, Rocky discovers that sometimes going the distance is the greatest victory of all.
Five decades and a nine-film franchise later, revisit the iconic classic ahead of the anticipated release of I Play Rocky, in a cinema with its own remarkable history!
