My local cinema was hit in a robbery worth £1,360 last week

#31

The cineworld I go to is over £11 I think. But got an unlimited card to it’s £free minus £17/month.

it always just seems to be for match funding for new screens or bars. they have kiosks on every floor and a bar/restaurant, bar/coffee shop and tearooms, all of which are not really reasonably priced in comparison to the rest of the city centre. they don’t even do proper popcorn. they do run a filmmaking scheme for kids and teenagers, but they charge quite a bit for it. also they have artists in residence, but i’m pretty sure they’re sponsored by the arts council, unis and the european film development fund or whatever.

oh yeah they have ‘front of house volunteers’ alongside their actual paid staff. saving a few bob there.

Yeah, without wanting to sound like the Mail On Sunday, there’s a lot about charity funding that makes me go * chin scratching emoji that I can’t find *

Walthamstow Empire’s £3.95 on Tuesdays. Tend to max out on that.

Although massively missing Orange Wednesdays. Wednesday seems the right day to go to the cinema. Tuesday doesn’t feel quite right.

#35

Mile End Genesis is £4.50 a throw also for the standard screens. Their website seems to be down an awful lot though.

#36

give the meerkats £2.50 to insure yourself for a ‘daytrip’ that you don’t leave the country for (and also isn’t real) = 2 for 1 on tuesdays AND wednesdays for a year

Bit of a pain for us to get up to there while the GOBLIN is shut at the moment.

Is it crowded and noisy on a Tuesday? I used to avoid Orange Wednesdays for that reason.

#38

Yeah we’re right next to Leyton tube so just get a bus up there.

And no, it’s always been dead quiet! We’ve been loads of times and on 2/3 occasions we’ve been the only people in the screening. Although I think that’s more representative of our film choices than anything (and we tend to catch films later in the cycle than in the first week or so).

Never had a problem on Orange Wednesdays either really with crowds etc. either but we used to major on the Hackney Picturehouse and Dalston Rio for that. Imagine some of your Vue cinemas would’ve been dreadful.

#43

think its still a fiver at Peckhamplex, but I rarely go to the cinema. Lived really near Genesis in Bethnal Green a while back and only went once (500 days of summer).

#44

good cuz it just went up to £9.50 full price!

#45

have a very sweet cinema set up;

One less than a mile a away is £5.50 max; i.e. peak time, new film. Mondays is £3.50 all day, for every film, including new releases (paid that for Star Wars). think 3D might be a quid more across the board, but haven’t ever been. I also go a lot on Saturday mornings with my daughter to kids club - £2 a ticket. So we go, buy two tickets, and two ice creams and it comes in at £7.50, the lot. They have also started selling beer so I sometimes go, full price, and have a couple of beers, and it comes in around £12. Oh and it is lovely there AND on top of a Waitrose, so basically has the best cinema snack selection in the world!

OR, I can hop on a bus for ten mins and be at a new Everyman where it is £13 a ticket, but really amazing within - so will use that for special occasions. In principle.

#46

In order of distance from my flat (all within 20 minutes):

Everyman - £13 (but literally 30 seconds away)
Watershed - £9, or £6.50 before 4pm.
Cube - £5, £3 on a Tuesday
Showcase - £10.20, possibly more at the weekend? I’m not sure, haven’t been since Sicario.

#47

My nearest is about 2 mins walk away and costs about £4 concessions.

#48

£5 for student discount at HOME. Pretty good.

Did you see this news, from today?

Bit of a shame - it was a lovely building inside.
