Five Star Cinemas

Five Star Cinemas is a family picture theatre business that has been in Brisbane for decades. The Sourris brothers, Stephen and Peter, are the passionate movie lovers behind the Five Star Cinema brand, the same men who refurbished the derelict New Farm Cinemas in 2013, The Elizabeth Picture Theatre in 2017, and grew up with the Yatala Drive-In. Dedicated to giving cinema fans a mix of retro style and state of the art sound and vision, while bringing the ‘experience’ back to a trip to the movies, they’re the third generation to work in the family business. Their grandfather Peter built the Yatala Drive-in, which he ran with his son James, the father of Peter and Stephen. The growing Five Star chain brings back the ‘grand old days’ of cinema to Brisbane.
