Film and Theatre Lover!
I did something special last month in terms of a cinema trip and all in one day, back to back I got to experience one of my favourite trilogies on the big screen again. This was the first time I had watched them one after the other on the big screen though and it was enjoyable as ever (well maybe changing the trailers before each one might have been a little bit better but never mind).

Cineworld Secret Screening 12
Date: Tuesday 6th August 2024
Time: 19:30pm
Just a reminder that the rating and running time listed on the website does not link directly to the film, I have noticed on the Cineworld website this is listed as an 18. This is slightly different to the usual 15 rating for secret screenings.
Here are some potential films that could be for the secret screening …

Cineworld have had quite a few Secret Screenings in the past few months, I haven’t been able to attend them for different reasons and hadn’t been organised enough for blog posts with potential films that it could be. Also with the changes from Unlimited Secret Screening to Secret Screening this therefore messed up my blog posts with the numbers, as they kinda started again. But never mind!

Casablanca is one of my all time favourite films and for so many different reasons, I was so excited when it was announced that it would be getting cinema screenings to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the film! Across all different cinema chains, but so lucky that my local Cineworld were going to be screening it for the whole week at 7:10pm so I made the effort to make sure I got to the Friday night screening and I ended up being the only person in the screen!
I love catching up with older films of the big screen and even more so when it is one of my favourites, I feel like I have waited years to see Casablanca in all its glory on the big screen! Yes, it has been on in different cinemas over the years but not at times that I could actually make. So this turned out to be perfect time, it was also an extra lovely touch for it to be the day after my Nanna Hannah’s memory, 11 years she loved Humphrey Bogart. In the speech I did at her funeral I even mentioned the Paris quote which totally links to this film, so that made it feel extra nice.

That’s right across the UK today is National Cinema day which sees tickets priced at only £3!
One of the greatest films of all time – THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION (1994) will be back in VUE cinemas nationwide from this Friday 18th March. It will be the first time cinema audiences in the UK and Ireland can see the film in all its 4K restored glory.
Nominated for seven Academy Awards categories and the number one rated movie on IMDb’s Top 250 list, Frank Darabont’s movie Shawshank Redemption (1994) is still considered to be one of the best movies of all time. It was voted the greatest film of all time by Empire readers in “The 201 Greatest Movies of All Time” poll undertaken in March 2006.
No Time To Die was originally meant to be released in April 2020 and was the first big film to announce it was pushing back to November 2020 but as things went on and we had the cinemas closed for months and then an attempt at reopening in the July 2020 didn’t fully go to plan for all chains with Cineworld quickly closing once again and rumours surrounding if they would ever actually be able to reopen.
Odeon made a longer attempt to stay open but considering no new releases and people being somewhat scared to actually attend the cinema they had to close again as well, it was actually very sad times wondering if Cinema would survive the pandemic. With some companies releasing films straight to streaming services and charging cinema prices to rent and watch at home it was a worrying time for those of us who love nothing more than attending the cinema.

Finance Experts Company Debt released exclusive insights and data on the Cinema Sector.
Based on an average cinema price of £6.75, the UK Cinema industry needs to sell 141 million tickets this summer to make up the deficit caused by COVID-19.
In total, with a decline of 132,072,886 admissions in 2020, the British cinema industry has been amongst the worst industries hit by COVID-19.
The UK Cinema Association reported a box office decline of 955.1 million GBP in 2020.
Few could have predicted the 80% slump in box office revenues last year, resulting in a £2.2billion loss for the Cineworld group.
Everyone in the UK would have to buy two tickets to bring the industry to pre-covid levels.
