Ridiculous Cinema Limitations

[Resident]

Is there any wonder that cinemas are going the way of the Dodo? 

Tried all three major operators in Sheffield (Vue, CineWorld & Odeon) and none will let you see the schedule or book tickets beyond the next 7 days. 

Me & Mrs Resident have a RARE opportunity to have a night to ourselves, sans kids, at the end of the month so we thought 'date night', Food and a film. 

I don't want to be booking almost last minute and getting crap seats. Used to be able to book weeks in advance.

Remember the good old days when you went to Blockbuster and picked up a takeaway on the way back ?

Try Curzon Cinema, less choice of films but if you find one its fantastic and you can have a tipple while watching the film.

Just wait until 7 days before then? If nobody else can book them 8+ days before you wont have anything to worry about will you.

They probably don’t want anyone to tell them the end, I recall the same when Battle of Britain was released. 😉

I've been to the Showroom a good few times and enjoyed the experience.  I most recently went to see 'The Nan Movie' at the Odeon Luxe and the seating there is marvellous!  I shall certainly be returning.

Most don't list above 7 days as they await the weekends takings to decide what to continue showing and what take off.

 

I don't see it as a hardship really.
