What are the showtimes at Palace Cinemas Perth?
How to check daily showtimes online?
- Showtimes are updated daily on the official Palace Cinemas website (Australia’s independent cinema chain)
- Films are listed by date and screen type — standard and Platinum sessions appear separately
- Session times typically range from mid-morning (around 10 am) through to late evening (10 pm or later)
What time do sessions typically start and end?
- Standard sessions run from late morning until about 10 pm on weeknights, later on weekends
- Platinum sessions may have fewer screenings per day and often start later in the afternoon
- Doors and phone lines open 15 minutes before the first session (Palace Cinemas)
Are there early bird or late night screenings?
- The venue does not advertise dedicated early bird pricing, but Monday and Tuesday tickets are discounted: $10 for Movie Club members, $12 general admission (Flicks.com.au (Australian movie listing site))
- Late night sessions exist for blockbuster releases — check the online schedule
The implication: showtimes are standard for a city multiplex, but the Platinum schedule demands advance planning because fewer screenings mean less flexibility.

Is there parking at Palace Cinemas Perth?
What parking options are available nearby?
- Wilson Parking Raine Square (entry on Murray Street) — validated discount for up to 4 hours on nights and weekends (Palace Cinemas official website)
- Overflow: Wilson Parking Queen Street with same validation discount
- On-street parking is free after 6 pm daily near the cinema (Palace Cinemas)
How much does parking cost?
- First 2 hours free at Wilson lots with validation; longer stays attract charges (Flicks.com.au)

Is there validation or discount for moviegoers?
- Yes — show your ticket at the box office to get your parking validated for discounted rates

Why this matters: the validated parking deal makes Palace Raine Square cheaper to drive to than most suburban multiplexes, provided you arrive after 5 pm on weekdays or anytime on weekends.
What is Palace Cinemas Perth Platinum?
What amenities are included in Platinum?
- Handcrafted Spanish leather recliners with footrests and tray tables (Palace Cinemas official Platinum page)
- In-seat dining service — staff bring food and drinks to your recliner
- Fully-licensed bar serving wine, beer, and cocktails

How much do Platinum tickets cost?
- Premium-priced — typically $35–45 per person depending on session time

- Online booking recommended to secure seats
The trade-off: Platinum costs 2–3× a standard ticket, but you get a private-club atmosphere with waiter service and zero crowds — perfect for a date night or business treat.
Perth moviegoers get genuine luxury at Palace Raine Square — leather recliners, in-seat dining, and validated parking — but the Platinum price tag means it’s a treat, not a weekly habit.
Platinum tickets don’t qualify for the Monday–Tuesday discount deals, so check standard screen prices if budget is your priority.

“The recliners are incredibly comfortable and the service is prompt, but the auditoriums are small — feels more like a private screening room than a cinema.”
— TripAdvisor reviewer on Palace Raine Square
“Platinum is our most luxurious experience — handcrafted Spanish leather recliners with fully-licensed in-seat dining. It’s designed for guests who want the ultimate cinema experience.”
— Palace Cinemas official Platinum page
For the average Perth cinema-goer, the choice is clear: standard screens for budget-friendly Monday–Tuesday deals, or Platinum for a luxury night out. Either way, the validated parking and central location make Palace Raine Square the easiest CBD cinema to reach.
