James Bond Marathon

Shaw Theatres Lido

The first James Bond film, Dr. No (1962), makes a return to Singapore after 63 years. It first screened in Singapore at Shaw Lido in 1963.

The beloved spy actioner will kick off the cinema’s James Bond Marathon held at the refurbished Shaw Theatres Lido.

Limited screenings will take place at Lumiere Grand on March 28 at 8.30pm, and March 29 at 6.50pm. Tickets are priced at $30 for classic seats and $35 for recliner seats. Each Lumiere Grand ticket includes a $7 MovieBites credit, valid for same-day use.

Starring the late Scottish actor Sean Connery as the iconic 007 agent, Dr. No launched the James Bond film franchise based on the fictional spy created by British novelist Ian Fleming in 1953. Dr. No follows Bond as he battles the titular nefarious genius, who is determined to destroy the United States space programme.

Following Dr. No, other classic 007 films that are fully restored in 4K for the James Bond Marathon include From Russia With Love (1963), Goldfinger (1964), Thunderball (1965) and You Only Live Twice (1967).
