Johannesburg, 24 April 2025 — If you thought you’d seen every kind of night out the City of Gold had to offer, think again. SecretEATS, the award-winning underground dining collective known for blending mystery with mouth-watering moments, is about to change how you do movie night. Introducing Secret Cinema, an immersive cinematic experience set to premiere in Johannesburg on Saturday, 17 May 2025 — and it’s promising one unforgettable evening.
Your mission begins with a cocktail
The adventure kicks off with a classified cocktail in hand and a selection of covert canapés crafted to capture the high tension, glamour and unpredictability of your favourite spy thrillers. True to the SecretEATS ethos, the venue remains an enigma until the morning of the event. Ticket holders will receive a discreet message revealing the final location, the time to rendezvous, and a pass phrase to gain entry.
An advanced screening shrouded in mystery
Once inside, guests will be guided to a private screening room — a cinema not accessible to the general public — where a blockbuster action film will be shown ahead of its official release. While the title remains top secret, organisers have teased that it’s one of 2025’s most anticipated releases, part of a globally renowned franchise with a reputation for edge-of-your-seat storytelling. Expect razor-sharp dialogue, relentless action and plot twists you won’t see coming.
No spoilers, surprises only
Secret Cinema thrives on the thrill of the unexpected. From the first sip to the film’s final twist, every detail is designed to pull you into a world where the ordinary is left at the door. Guests can anticipate a carefully curated experience that includes private screening, themed cocktails, gourmet canapés, soft drinks, classic popcorn, and a few carefully guarded surprises.
Limited tickets, unlimited intrigue
Bookings are officially open, but seats are limited, and the classified nature of this event means they won’t stay available for long. Don’t hesitate. Once it’s out, it’s out.
