They're Back! | My Return To The Cinema... Again

Normally when I watch a movie (either on the big or small screen) I write a review, share my thoughts on that movie with whoever wants to read it. But given the turmoil of the last year and a half, something which forced cinemas around the world to close their doors, permanently in some cases, it seemed more appropriate to write something about the experience. After seven months of no cinema, the place never looked so good! The first thing that hit me - apart from the excitement of finally going back to the big screen - was the smell. As I walked in the door of my local Cineworld it was there; the delicious smell of warm popcorn. Even through the mask it was delightfully strong. It was something I hadn't realised I missed, but it felt like a warm welcome. The feeling of being back in one of those seats, popcorn in hand, was fantastic. For once the adverts seemed to fly by, giving way to the trailers. I was so pleased to be back that even the new Conjuring movie looked good (I am no

Cineworld To Temporarily Close

Cineworld is set to close all 128 of its cinemas in the UK - not to mention those in other countries - from Thursday 8th October. This all comes in the wake of yet another delay of the release of 'No Time To Die'; Daniel Craig's final outing as James Bond.

How do Cineworld Unlimited Cards affect Box Office Takings for Individual Movies?

I have been a Cineworld Unlimited member for longer than I can remember and I'm not going to deny it, I love it! The ability to go to the cinema whenever I want without having to pay for a ticket thanks to one monthly subscription, and with todays ticket prices it's great value for money. As you might have guessed, I write a movie blog, imagine how expensive that hobby would be without an Unlimited Card.  But I started to wonder how the monthly subscription I pay affected box office takings for individual movies so I sent them an email. The response I got was not helpful: Now I understand that in a competitive market you have to protect important information but given the success of Unlimited I was expecting a little sharing on Cineworld's part. Odeon have obviously noticed the success of Unlimited because they now offer a similar service in the form of Limitless, which starting at £17.99 a month is still more expensive than Unlimited.
