Even though it feels like the world of streaming has taken over the world, going to the cinema is still an experience. The atmospheric sound, the massive screen, and of course eating all of your popcorn before the trailers have finished. In February, we’ve got blockbuster new releases such as Magic Mike’s Last Dance, a horror reimagining of Winnie the Pooh as well as a 3D re-release of Titanic. Here’s a list of the hotly anticipated films dropping in Australian cinemas this month.
