Cinemas in Hong Kong with more movie options?
Of course you can catch the biggest movies in most cinemas, but are there any Hong Kong cinemas that carry smaller (western) movies? For example, the reviews for Jordan Peele’s new movie, “NOPE” recommend seeing it on the big screen, but I doubt Broadway Circuit will carry it.

"As a film enthusiast, I absolutely love this place! More than a cinema, it houses Kubrick Cafe and sellers of film posters, vinyls, and dvds. Staff are nice. I think I found a home in HK."
Victoria Martin
"Amazing indie cinema, with a lovely café, store and videoclub. The only negative point is that the staff at the ticket office wasn't particularly friendly when we visited, and in addition the AC in the movie room was really too cold (seemed like we were in a fridge)."
Alberto Hermosel
"Always one of my favourite places to go for a (niche) movie. Coffee shop next door is good as well."
