BFI IMAX hasn't got a good seat left in the entire run there I'm seriously considering doing a 4am showing now. Even those only have the crappy side seats.

solaris Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 My Oppenheimer showing at the Curzon Aldgate was 70% full for a 12.40 showing. That's insane - it's normally my secret quiet time (I actually booked the afternoon off just to see it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonwo Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Barbie and Oppenheimer have opposite problems. Barbie has little to no PLFs while Oppenheimer has the PLFs but is limited by showtimes because of its length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Although Barbie is looking to be a huge hit for WB, I think there's potential for Wonka to be a huge hit as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchumacherFTW Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Wonka feels like a good £50m movie for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted July 21, 2023 Author Share Posted July 21, 2023 Just drove past a cinema and all I saw was pink. Don’t think I’ve ever seen so many sellouts as Barbie has this evening since at least No Way Home or even Endgame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t be surprised at £20m for Barbie. Thinking close to £7m OD. Oppenheimer could match Dunkirk’s £10m. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchumacherFTW Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Just got in to Central, lots of pink around, though maybe that's normal and I don't notice 😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 (edited) I'm not seeing Barbie for another week as I'm busy at the weekend but I'm opting for a morning showing. I would imagine anything pink related in terms of concessions is going to be very sold out. The likes of Everyman will likely have themed cocktails. Oppenheimer has a few themed drinks although I'm not sure if I'd be comfortable having a drink inspired by the atomic bomb, Edited July 21, 2023 by Jonwo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 I imagine the dilemma for cinemas is what to cancel in favour of Barbie? I imagine Mission Impossible can't be touched and same with Elemental which might lose evening showings but not daytime showings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted July 21, 2023 Author Share Posted July 21, 2023 The late night business for Barbie (shows after 10pm) is mind blowing. Never seen anything like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dark Alfred Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Oppenheimer is benefiting immensely from this zeitgeist. Saw a lot younger crowd tonight, who no doubt would have never bought tickets to a 3hr biopic if it wasn't for Barbenheimer. This two titles will dominate August as well.

It's a shame that Empire went into administration before Barbenheimer as that would have added more to the coffers box office wise. Given its length, Oppenheimer’s late night business is very impressive. Many sellouts for it in PLFs, Vue Stratford show at 12:20am for it in Vue Xtreme is nearly sold out with a finish time close to 4am! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said this before but a late showing for that length of movie is a bit much especially since getting home would be a nightmare but I guess the Westfield Vues as well as the cinema is LS have the advantage of night buses and night buses, other places aren't as lucky!
