How many screens is the Showcase at Bluewater? Metrocentre, Basildon, Kingston and Norwich beating big cinemas in London and Manchester is a surprise. Bluwater is 13 screens, OLS well Empire across from it basically splitting grosses by Cume OLS is currently #2(won't be after thu) but add it to ELS its mega . Couple times in past OLS has been able to take about what OLS+ELS combine done with TFA just by itself(with of cause ELS not running same film), yes other is interesting 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't happen all the time, Interstellar was exclusive to OLS for example but I imagine we'll likely see more sharing of big screens like with Batman v Superman or Rogue One. What the top ten has in common with the exception of Showcase and Vue Westfield is that they all have IMAX although Vue Westfield has its own PLF with VueXtreme. Location plays a huge factor with how a cinema does in terms of admission especially if you're situated in somewhere like a Westfield or a Bluewater.

terrestrial Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Ian Sandwell @ian_sandwell Here's the full statement from Entertainment about Hateful Eight and Cineworld. http://www.digitalspy.com/movies/news/a778854/this-is-why-cineworld-and-picturehouse-arent-showing-quentin-tarantinos-the-hateful-eight/ … Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildphantom Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 The cineworld fall out is jaw-dropping. So are we to read from it that odeon Leicester Square have an exclusive deal that means no other cinema equipped to project the roadshow version in 70mm is allowed to show it? It's ambiguous from the statement, but that's how I read it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Curzon aren't showing either so it must be related to the 70mm OLS exclusive screening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mepal1 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 That's crazy, coz where i live in East Anglia, the majority of the cinema multiplexes are 'Cineworld'. Real bad news for the 'Hateful Eight' film, business wise, and from a publics point of view as well. Mind you, you can see the film on t'Internet.

SchumacherFTW Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Tbh I'd say it's a better reason not to show it than when Disney tried to cut the release window to 12 weeks for Alice in Wonderland. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildphantom Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 So on Christmas Day the movie was released in 70mm in 100 theatres across America. After weeks of QT hyping it up as the best way to see his film. Then the distributor goes and signs an exclusive deal with odeon Leicester Square so nowhere else in the uk can show this preferred presentation? If this is what has happened I don't blame cineworld's stance at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchumacherFTW Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I'd like to know what Cineworld genuinely has to say about the situation. Obviously we have Entertainment's point of view, but it would be good to see the opposite side of the story. Curzon haven't exactly provided a huge amount of info either though.

Avatree Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Damn. When my manager told me last week that Cineworld wasn't showing Hateful Eight, I thought he meant the competing CW near us. Didn't realise it was the whole chain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted January 6, 2016 Author Share Posted January 6, 2016 (edited) I've never been to a cineworld, don't think there's many at all in London, so it shouldn't have a big effect here. Very surprised to hear the news though, will definitely cause a dent in gross. Pre-sales do look good though, it should have a solid opening for an 18-certificate.

m3racer123 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Spectre's passed Avatar now with £94,257,868 as of 3rd January 2016 (source). It's official: 2 of the UK's top 3 highest grossing films ever are from 2015. I know you have to consider ticket price inflation and everything, but it's pretty impressive nonetheless. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of the 10 nearest cinemas to me, 7 are cineworld, 1 used to be cineworld and 1 is picturehouse owned by cineworld. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends if you include Titanic's 3D re-release or not. If you do, then JW ended up just a few million shy of the top 3 all-time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
