Rex Kinos

Rex Kinos (often branded as 'programmkino rex') is a cinema located in Darmstadt, Germany. It operates as part of the KINOPOLIS cinema group, sharing programming infrastructure and ticketing with sister venues such as the Citydome Darmstadt and KINOPOLIS Darmstadt. The Rex positions itself as a 'Programmkino' — an arthouse or repertory cinema — with a programme that mixes current mainstream releases, international and independent films, and special event screenings. The cinema's official website, hosted under the kinopolis.de domain, presents a daily schedule that includes family films (e.g. Toy Story 5, Paw Patrol, Shaun the Sheep), genre and repertory titles (Avengers: Endgame Extended, Resident Evil), and world cinema under the 'rexAlleWeltKino' banner, which showcases 'extraordinary films from around the world'. The Rex also runs themed events such as 'Wollkino' (a knitting-and-cinema event) and promotional pricing days like 'Wir feiern weiter' with €5 tickets on Tuesdays in September. As a KINOPOLIS venue, the Rex benefits from the group's investment in presentation technology, including RGB laser projection from Barco with 4K resolution, high brightness and energy efficiency compared to xenon lamps. The cinema serves the Darmstadt audience with a mix of commercial and curated programming, distinguishing itself through its arthouse identity within a larger multiplex group. Ownership and corporate details beyond its affiliation with KINOPOLIS are not specified in the available evidence. The cinema is active and continues to publish a regular programme.
