Karl 3,110 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 2 minutes ago, StrawberryBlond said: Yeah, my friend lives up north and Vue is the only cinema in his entire city and the nearest place showing it requires a train journey, so he's travelling down to see it with me tomorrow figuring if he's going to travel, he may as well go the extra mile to see it with a friend. So sweet. But yeah, this is some really odd goings-on. The premiere was at a Vue in London. It doesn't make sense how it's the only UK cinema chain not showing it at the same time as everyone else. But I have to say, is Vue really the main cinema to a lot of British cities? There's only one in the whole of Glasgow and that's the biggest city in Scotland. I've been to basically every other cinema chain in my country but I believe I've only been to a Vue twice in my life and it's when I was travelling to lesser populated areas. I wonder, is it more of a chain that focuses on smaller areas? This comment just really made me laugh! My local is the same, partly because it's so old, although people actually go to that one. I remember my mum once asked why I don't like to go to this one and I said "It stinks, literally." For example where I'm from in North Yorkshire, the only big multiplex is in York and it's a Vue, you can drive a couple hours in any direction from there and there isn't another multiplex, nearest being Leeds/Hull.

Wow, that's really bad. I wouldn't have thought in England it would be like that. I've always had this vision of English cities always getting the best opportunities for various outlets regardless of location, but apparently not. Appears that this situation is worse than I initially thought. But on the upside, all that matters is the box score at the end of the week. It's a shame for those who have to wait an extra 2 days but as long as they see it sometime within the opening week, it'll be fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
S0436 10,215 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Just BS for now I think, Vue won’t want to lose revenue from a much anticipated movie, it’s going to be shown there soon clearly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

monster4life231 4,304 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 I usually go to VUE, but this time I had to go to a different cinema. I checked every day to book the tickets, and they never had any dates. spread peace - #MJInnocent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

crownlessking 145 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Sorry but this’ll really affect the films performance here.

Still haven’t seen the movie yet bc of this Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are still in discussions with the studio and apologise to all of our customers who were looking forward to seeing the film at Vue. Keep an eye out for further updates" I really hope they get this sorted soon as it could really damage how popular the film is in the UK, even without Vue it's doing amazingly, with Vue it'll be enormous.
