Moviegoers celebrated the return of the Strand Cinema Caloundra with a Hollywood blockbuster, fresh popcorn and giant cokes.
The five-cinema complex re-opened on Wednesday night after the previous owners closed the curtains on the long-running business.
The new owner Luke Warburton spent some time refurbishing the 500-capacity venue before the anticipated revival of the popular complex.
Sunshine Coast News was there to celebrate with patrons as a Caloundra institution made its return to the red carpet.
SCN also broke the news of the man behind the stunning revival and his inspiration.
