May is a month of man-size movies – with the strength and iron will of Tony Stark,
the speed and negotiating skills of Dominic Toretto and Brian O’Conner and the
stamina and partying power of some seriously hungover guys, this is must-see movie
month… and could also be your ticket to Las Vegas!
Man-Size Month titles include Iron Man 3, Fast & Furious 6 and The Hangover Part III,
among others. You need to have a Ster-Kinekor Club loyalty card to enter the
competition that could take you and three of your closest friends on an unforgettable
trip of a lifetime to Vegas, courtesy of Ster-Kinekor and Virgin Atlantic and worth
R250 000.
“If you are a member of SK Club, you can’t afford to miss Man-Size Month. All you
need to do is watch at least three of the six man-size titles and swipe your card at
each visit to the movies. For each movie you watch, you will earn 200 SK Club points.
Normally, a movie is 100 points but, for this promotion, we are “man-sizing’ the points
to 200 per title,’ says Doug Place, marketing executive of Ster-Kinekor Theatres.
“Once you have accumulated 600 points, you are automatically entered into the
competition – and, the more Man-Size Month movies you watch, the more entries you
will accumulate to increase your chance of winning that trip of a lifetime to Las
Vegas,’ adds Place.
If you are not yet a member of the SK Club, sign up online at www.sterkinekor.com or

lifetime. And remember: what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas!
As an extra bonus, celebrated Springbok and Blue Bulls rugby player Francois
Hougaard will add some muscle to the campaign as he will host special screenings
and meet fans at the movies.
