This country keep giving me a vibe that everything is over-performing here. Mostly normal by the looks of things. In the last 9 months, we have had the number 3 and 4 biggest movies of all time with NTTD and NWH, and Top Gun 2 will be entering the top 25 soon, possibly even top 20. Batman and DS2 both topped £40m too. So seems like the appetite for cinema is as it was pre-pandemic. Edited June 7, 2022 by Heretic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And so on. I think the whole system that a movie gets ALL its PLF screens removed is pretty stupid. Theaters should imo be deciding themselves which movie gets the screens and how many for each film. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightyear is only taking 10am shows in IMAX on Saturday and Sunday, the rest of the day will belong to Rexy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure I read that Lightyear is sharing with Jurassic World in the US too? I might be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchumacherFTW Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 It's very much a movie to movie situation. Elvis doesn't look like it's going to take a full complement of IMAX shows, likely sharing with Jurassic World. I can see Top Gun being back in IMAX for minions weekends 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krissykins Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 (edited) Had a look at Jurassic World Dominion. For Friday: 18.30 3D will sell out (people still use this? lol) 7pm will sell out 7.30 will sell out 8pm will sell out At my bigger local, the VIP and 4DX showings are all basically gone Friday evening and for Saturday daytime. Saturday looks busier at both, because obviously this franchise still appeals to families. Edited June 9, 2022 by Krissykins 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just checked my local Cineworld and the only sell out is the 8:30 4DX, everything else has plenty of seats left, even the 7:30 IMAX still has decent availability, although no doubt that will change with walk ups. Thinking this opens below Top Gun based on what I’m seeing right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonwo Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 The loss of PLFs will likely impact Top Gun but I expecting a £5m Fri-Sun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
