the cinema scene in the UK and Ireland is defo on the up but i'm not sure if 1% growth is really enough to get everyone pumped up about it. 4.1% of total revenue coming from event cinema releases is pretty cool, though - those big-name flicks with premium prices are definitely drawing in crowds and i love how some films like A Minecraft Movie are breaking the rules with those crazy "saturation" releases
omg u guys! i cant believe the uk cinema takings are soooo high this yr! £56.88m 4 a minecraft movie?? thats insane!!! and the fact that downton abbey: the grand finale had 750 cinemas showing it is crazy too... but like, who actually watches those things? lol anywayz, i guess its good 2 hear that cinema is doin well again... phil clapp seems pretty chill about it too
just saw those numbers and I'm like wow, Minecraft taking over the box office . I mean, who knew gaming would translate so well to cinema? But what's up with all these saturation releases? I've seen some movies that were playing in 20+ cinemas at once... it kinda feels like they're trying too hard to compete . Still, 1% growth is a start and it's good to see event cinema still holding strong . Can't wait to see what other games get adapted into movies next
