Preservation Month Spotlight: Consolidated Theatres, Celebrating 100 Years

Entertaining Hawai‘i since 1917

Over the past 100 years*, Consolidated Theatres has been a staple of entertainment here in Hawai‘i. We all lead busy lives making it even more special when we can be transported to a different world, even if only for a brief moment in time. For a couple of hours anything is possible–we can fight among the Avengers, sail the seas with Captain Jack Sparrow, enter the magical wizarding world of Harry Potter or get lost in a love story with Noah and Allie. Consolidated Theatres gives us an avenue to escape, to wanderlust, to let our imaginations run wild.

Lindsey Chun-Hori, Director of Marketing at Consolidated Theatres states, “When we talk with people in the community, we’re always hit with a sense of nostalgia. Lots of first dates, lining up for midnight premieres, family movie days… it’s an amazing feeling that we’ve touched so many people’s lives.”

In many ways, Consolidated Theatres is the heart of entertainment here in Hawai‘i. There is a sense of bliss and excitement people feel when they are at the movies.

Division Manager at Consolidated Theatres, Rod Tengan humbly says, “All of us at Consolidated have seen firsthand how our theatres and the magic of movies can bring people together. Here’s to continuing that special relationship for another 100 years in Hawai‘i.”

Times are forever changing, but the memories we have created will last a lifetime. There will always be a touch of beauty and mystery behind Consolidated Theatres. Think back, remember, and relish in your favorite Consolidated Theatres’ memory. I am sure it will bring a smile to your face. We look forward to another 100 years of entertainment!
