NEW OPENING: Pellicola Theatre Lounge at Sophia Loren Rooftop Shines with Cinematic Spectacle and Unlimited Popcorn

A hidden Hong Kong secret with a picturesque view of the bustling Johnston Road tramway in the heart of Wan Chai, Pellicola Theatre Lounge at Sophia Loren Rooftop is now open to inject a dynamic dose of Italian living into the city’s alfresco entertainment scene by transforming into an elegant outdoor cinema where classic films and contemporary favourites come to life against the backdrop of the night sky this autumn.

Located on the rooftop of Wan Chai heritage landmark Woo Cheong Pawn Shop, this delightful rooftop gem celebrates the joyous Italian concept of "la dolce vita," which aligns with Sophia Loren Hong Kong’s spirit. The name “Pellicola,” which means movie in Italian, perfectly encapsulates this enchanting venue's cinematic elegance and celebrates all things cinematic.

This stunning urban oasis makes the most of Hong Kong's temperate climate with its spacious sun-kissed rooftop space, which seats up to 80 guests. Vintage-style director chairs with white canvas, comfortable rattan sofas, Chaise lounges, vibrant potted plants, and warm fairy lights across the roof create a sophisticated yet accessible space with a Mediterranean flair that oozes escapism.

Pellicola at Sophia Loren Rooftop offers a delightful experience transcending the traditional theatre-goer audience—it's truly for everyone. Boasting an extraordinary yet affordable premium experience in a city that makes autumn night out fun, it is the ultimate spot for gathering with friends for an engaging pre-theatre chat, setting the stage for a memorable evening filled with lively conversation and laughter, with the aroma of freshly made popcorn filling the air.

The Sophia Loren Rooftop’s alfresco theatre is limited to three weekly shows, commencing at 8:15 p.m. every Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday from October until the spring season in 2025 for a limited run (blackout dates apply). Wireless audio headphones will be provided to all guests, ensuring an optimal movie-going experience.
