The Victoria Theatre, in Devonport, Auckland, New Zealand, is both the country's and the Southern Hemisphere's oldest surviving purpose-built cinema, dating from 1912.

The Victoria Theatre was built in 1912 for American John Leon Benwell, and originally held a capacity of 965.

Kerridge ran the theatre until 1988, when dwindling patronage saw the building put up for sale.

[3] The theatre was originally designed by Auckland architect John Walker and erected for £6,000, just two years after the country's first purpose-built cinema.

[4] The building currently contains four cinema theatres (total capacity 386) plus a live venue space.
