From what I can tell, the plan is to get it back open next Friday. Aka, in time for Alice, but that isn't booking in IMAX yet, and neither is Warcraft. I've heard a rumbling that Ninja Turtles is due to go IMAX as well, so this place could get really cluttered if that is the case. And ha ha @Telemachos....... I hope you're wrong though Edited May 17, 2016 by SchumacherFTW 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you're wrong though I suspect Alice isn't getting IMAX in the UK due to X-Men. Warcraft is booking in IMAX for the BFI, Edinburgh and Sheffield for example so I expect TMNT2 won't get IMAX either. I think the IMAX schedule for the summer will be X-Men, Warcraft, Independence Day, The Legend of Tarzan, Star Trek Beyond and Suicide Squad. This is purely a guess but it would make sense.

Heretic Posted May 17, 2016 Author Share Posted May 17, 2016 Alice is getting IMAX, it's already booking at Odeon. X-Men keeps an evening show, though. I think Alice could really take advantage of half term holidays, I'm expecting decent numbers for it. Independence Day has already started pre-sales. The potential is big, although releasing during the Euro and Wimbledon isn't the best timing... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatree Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Civil War is fucked, given that Apocalypse is now out and weekend after is Turtles, Warcraft and Alice all together. And no TMNT is not getting IMAX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildphantom Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 I've noticed on cineworld's website they're now listing Ghostbusters as opening on July 11th, instead of the 15th - which is a Monday. There have been instances this year of movies opening on a Monday, which will include Warcraft and Turtles 2 on May 30th. Can anyone confirm Ghostbusters is indeed coming out a few days earlier now? It definitely read 15th on the site and has only just changed to the 11th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That appears to be correct, DCM are reporting as 11th July. https://twitter.com/DCM_cinema_news/status/732925102581387267 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 The cynical side of me thinks Sony is doing this to do get number 1 position although both it and Ice Age 5 opening will be seven days worth of takings since Ice Age has previews. NSYM2 has a Monday opening as well as does The Conjuring 2. Wonder if Star Trek Beyond or The BFG will move up a few days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchumacherFTW Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Cineworld has Money Monster coming out next weekend. Just found out my local IMAX has reopened with a new screen and Atmos style sound system. No laser projection, but I'm looking forward to trying it out later. Seriously surprised by the lack of numbers for X-Men, 3 days and still nothing? Kinda worrying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilipJ2001 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 £2.1m in two days (Wednesday & Thursday). DOFP did £1.6m from a Thursday preview. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have been worse tbh. Looks like we're doing another 2013 when it comes to advance booking. Currently I see Cineworld doing advance booking for: Alice, Ninja Turtles, Warcraft, The Nice Guys, The Conjuring, Secret Life of Pets and Independence Day. And I believe that BFG is going on sale soon too. Pretty sure I've seen Now You See Me on sale elsewhere as well. Insanity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't match DoFP, but no one really expected that. Still, should be able to do £7.5-8m for the 5 day. The market is becoming incredibly crowded in the next week for half term. We'll have Civil War, Jungle Book (which seems to be still doing really well this weekend), Angry Birds, X-men, Alice, Warcraft and TMNT all fighting for screens. Something will have to disappoint.

Jonwo Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Jungle Book will lose screens in favour of Alice simply because it's been out the longest. Civil War as well. I guess films are trying to get in before the Euros start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quigley Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Wait until later in the summer. It's gonna be worse: Finding Dory, BFG, Pets, Ice Age, Independence Day, Ghostbusters, Star Trek, Jason Bourne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
