And guess what the first film showing on the brand new IMAX screen is? Halloween Ends! Tickets booked for Friday. Feels like the perfect pairing for me! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilipJ2001 Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Smile was number 1 again yesterday, it was actually up 50% on last friday! Don't Worry Darling #2, then close between Ticket To Paradise and The Woman King for #3 and #4. Amsterdam was #5 and The Lost King #7 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ipickthiswhiterose Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 My screening of Ponniyin Selvan last night was absolutely buzzing. 70% full. BUT only one screening per day and per main Indian language dubs once every three days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Invisible Man was actually cut for a 15 rating theatrically (the cut is so minor that you barely even notice), so it’ll be even further back than that!

Sadly no, I think it did on the Friday but Spider-Man was still #1. That’s the problem with some of the older IMAX screens, you can be crammed in like sardines. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both of the main London ones are particularly bad for it, the IMAX with Laser in Sheffield is practically luxurious in terms of the seating and leg room in comparison. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Leicester Square Cineworld isn't great either, the leg room is dreadful though at least the seats are a bit better than the BFI's were. I usually stick with my local IMAX in Crawley, same kind of deal with the seating and leg room. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonwo Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Don't Worry Darling's success is baffling considering it's a mediocre film. I assume it's due to both Florence Pugh and Harry Styles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume it's due to both Florence Pugh and Harry Styles? I think the controversy helped it, even if it was massively overblown. I’m sure Styles’ presence was a major factor for the sellouts on opening weekend though, that was definitely fan driven. I actually quite liked it, I was a bit “eh” on it at first, but it’s grown on me the more I think about it. I feel like the critics had the knives out for it for some bizarre reason. I prefer Booksmart, and I can see it being divisive if you aren’t on board with the last half, but it’s hardly the career ruining mess that some have tried to paint it as for Olivia Wilde. I look forward to seeing what she does next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense to me, I went to see it with my housemate tonight and she loooooved it, like super loved it, she hasn't liked a movie this much in ages. I thought it was eh, Pugh and some interesting ideas saved it from being a total waste 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
