Millennium Point is bringing a new film screening series to Birmingham

Millennium Point has announced a new programme of film screenings, taking place throughout 2026 in its landmark Birmingham Auditorium, home to the largest screen in the region.

Films for all audiences

The series begins on 15 May with a screening of Christopher Nolan’s Inception, the 2010 sci-fi thriller that has kept audiences debating its ending ever since its initial release. Further screenings include The Dark Knight Trilogy on 8 August, Labyrinth on 30 October, and a festive double bill of The Polar Express with a Santa visit on 13 December.

The Batman Trilogy screening carries particular significance for Millennium Point. In 2008, the venue hosted one of Birmingham’s most talked-about cinema events when The Dark Knight screened on its IMAX, drawing audiences who still talk about it to this day! The August event is a chance to relive that, and to introduce it to a new generation of fans.

All screenings take place in the Millennium Point auditorium, which has all the scale and atmosphere of a serious cinema venue along with the flexibility to host something a little different.

JP Haslam, AV Technical Co-ordinator at Millennium Point, said: “The auditorium was built to make an impact. The screen size and the sound setup genuinely change how you experience a film, and that’s what these events are designed around. These are films that deserve that treatment.”

Abbie Vlahakis, CEO of Millennium Point, said: “This is about giving people in Birmingham a reason to come together around film. We have one of the best screens in the region and we want people to use it. Whether you’re a lifelong film fan or just looking for a great night out, there’s something in this programme for you.”

Tickets for Inception on 15 May are £12, or £10 for students. The bar opens at 6:45pm and the film begins at 7:30pm with no adverts.
