Nu Metro Kenya Changes to Silverbird Cinemas

Silverbird group just recently acquired Nu Metro Cinemas in Kenya resulting in change of name for all nu metro cinema/media stores in Kenya. Yesterday during Capital FM,S drive time...silverbird cinema's were out to market their new name new look!The Nu Metro stores were mostly housed within Nakumatt stores and hypermart complexes!The Silverbird group operates in Nigeria & Ghana among other African Countries and aims at becoming Africa's largest entertainment conglomerate!The Nu Metro stores are already doning the new logo in recognition of the rescent change of name and ownership!

Silverbird cinemas is a subsidiary of the Silverbird group an international Company which has vast interests in Africa but mainly in Nigeria and includes a radio station Rhythm 93.7/94.7(Nigeria,Silverbird Television, Silverbird Galleria and Silverbird Entertainment (MBGN & Mr Nigeria).I hope theirs will be truly a unique and wholesome Cinema experience in Kenya.Karibuni Silverbird

Online Cinema Booking-Nu Metro Cinemas

Its a weekend as usual many Kenyans will out and about nairobi maybe catching a bite on nyama choma at the local joints or going to watch a movie at their favourite cinema halls(village market,Nakumatt Junction,Prestige,Sarit Centre,Twentieth Century,Kenya Cinema..etc).Personally im moved to go watch a movie,however i cannot book online .Not only that ,i cant even get the listings via the web! what a shame!

Kenya has two screening rivals the Fox Theatre Group with nine screens and the Nu-Metro Cinema stores with 10 screens however none of the companies have embraced online booking meaning internet lovers cannot browse for the latest movie listings.The only way to go is by looking at newspaper listings,TV adverts or by physically going to the cinema halls.I find that to be archaic.With websites taking a huge chunk of movie advertisements i find the local competitors to be selling themselves short.

Futhermore im sure that most of the tourists visiting Kenya after being to Maasai Mara,Lake Magadi,Mombasa,Serengeti etc when back at the City from the confines of their hotel rooms would really love to surf the internet and get the latest movie listings and directions to the Cinema halls from the official distributors sites!As for now there left with little choice apart from kenyaclubbers site a website with local cinema listings!What they get at home should definately not miss in Kenya.

We have websites such as flixter having quizes,listing,new releases,movie previews ...etc .I hope the Local South african based Nu Metro cinemas and Fox Theatres will take this suggestions firmly.Advertise using the internet please...we are not that behind!
