@ CF100 when showing a 3D film the curtains are not in use the screen seems to be about 1m smaller in the width
Empire LS is doing ok wouldn’t say its taking much more than it was before as always it will suffer from not having 1st pick of available titles
Interstellar opens 1 day early on the 6/11/14 & is showing in 70mm format in OLS & seems to be selling well
the days of sell out OLS and Empire are over most movie goers want to see their film as cheap as possible thats why every local cinema has some sold out showing on Orange Wednesdays & Empire & OLS will be luck to be a 3rd full if i want to see a film on a wednesday i go to the west end I’ve been in OLS when they have picked a dud with less than 20 people in there
OLS turnover is over 5 million pounds every year which a large amour comes from film premiers in which case too much alteration could result in losing its Europe premier status
in the modern world it could do with a 25% bigger screen which could be possibly achieved by removing the last 10 rows of seats in the stalls but at a cost of over 350 seats which could either be a new bar area or 2 small screens
but everything to do with the screen is designed to be removed for the stage a smaller is installed for 3D movies
seats and legroom are a bit tight and could do with spacing out a bit more but i don’t think the seats are even 10 years old and are very expensive ones at that
if you need a massive screen imax and the sky super screen are available
OLS gives you the super cinema experience thats its selling point
to be called Picturehouse central & to be Picturehouse Flagship
the west end cineworld unlimited card will still be valid for tickets & other unlimited cards will have a £2 uplift so not to bad as the place was a dump
well done to Cineworld for a great deal when they could of said its a
Picturehouse now unlimited cards only for Cineworlds lets face it not gonna be cheap to refit that flea pit
No tabs on the screen just a wall to wall ceiling to floor screen wanted to take some photos just on a smart phone but the management all out watching everyone
been to the new impact today which is a nice screen & the only touches from old screen 1 is in the carpet pattern.
sound is fantastic screen is massive can’t be far off a imax
downside the projection box at the back of the stadium seating under
the balcony means if someone in the middle gets up during the movie the image is projected onto the screen
don’t think the impact screen should of been opened to the pubic yet as the paint & upholstery fumes made me light headed
