I mean if it didn’t cost an arm and a leg for a popcorn and 7up I’d go more often.
Deserved. Biggest cinema business in the world. Whole industry is going to go under because of over priced popcorn.
> The statement released by Cineworld on Wednesday said that “(despite) a gradual recovery of demand since reopening in April 2021, recent admission levels have been below expectations.”
If Hollywood start making decent films again I might go back to the cinema.
Majority of films are no longer entertaining. More so just lecturing the audience or sending the current trendy message. We get enough of that from the mainstream media. Plus they rip you off with bullshit pricing . Self inflicted bankruptcy. Plenty more to follow in the entertainment industry.
Nope . Haven’t been to the cinema in a good three years. The majority of films do not interest me . I’m not in to the Comic book films , which doesn’t help
I forgot they owned PictureHouse in the Uk. So many of the small operators got pushed out by bigger changes and now they are getting pushed out by a changing market. All the big studios (really Disney and Netflix) are pushing streaming model now. I am worried what it means for cinema in general and the site in Parnell square. Feel bad for the workers too. But Cineworld was never my preferred cinema but they always had a good selection of times.
The fact cinema companies can’t make money off showing movies is at the core of the problem. Point yo fingers at thems stuios execs.
Even though I have seen Top Gun and No Time To Die, I really am feeling the superhero fatigue from Marvel and most of the new blockbusters felt especially dumbed down for people that can’t think critically (i.e Chinese audiences). Jurassic Park Dominion and Moonfall come to mind for that. I am annoyed I didn’t get out for Jackass forever though, and RRR is interesting in its own Bollywood way. And why wasn’t Prey put out in cinemas? Seems like the sort of creature feature film people would go out to see over Idris Elba’s Beast.
More of a ramble but thats that.
I haven’t been to Cineworld in years, even pre-Covid. I prefer other cinemas, and there’s not a lot of great films that make me venture to the cinema. The ladies bathrooms always reek, its worse than many bars or pubs at 2am. If that’s the bathrooms that the public get to experience, I’m not risking the overpriced popcorn.
Fair play to them for trying to prevent ff and fg from bastardising that sacred place
Should I buy GameStop shares?
Last film I seen in a cinema was Terminator 2, when it was re-run a couple of years ago.
​
It turned 20 during covid, so I expected it’d get another showing now that cinemas are back open again, and I’d go again to see it, but no such luck.
​
I like the idea of ‘ould films’ though. Stick Die Hard, Planes, Trains & Automobiles, Home Alone, Robocop, Ghostbusters, Terminator, etc. on and I’d pony up the cash to see them. Newer stuff mostly seems shite.
Last 2 times I went to the cinema was the last dragon ball z film and what we left behind the DS9 documentary
Maybe show movies that aren’t Marvel’s Antman and his goofy dog
Time to buy some Cineworld shares and hold
I enjoyed seeing An Cailín Ciúin, The Norseman and I thought No Time To Die was pretty good too. I read recently that Disney put a tonne of pressure on cinemas to flood screens with their movies, could this be one of the reasons they are failing? I don’t like superhero movies personally and it seems the majority of blockbuster movies are just that. Seeing more and more movies debuting on streaming services does not make me optimistic for the future of the cinema.
Nooo I love my local Cineworld!
Shame. It’s the only cinema I’ve attended in years. Mind you, I rarely go the cinema. Last time was February 2018.
God it’s amazing reading this thread and seeing how many people are completely unaware of films that have come out in the last few years and yet feel confident to enough to decry an entire industry anyway.
Fyi people there are plenty of other films coming out and that have come out which are not marvel films.
If you don’t like them then that’s fine, you don’t have to watch them.
There have been so many great films in the last few years that aren’t marvel ones. But instead of actually looking for them it seems people are much happier to just moan and complain that cinema is dead.
Planned to go see Nope yesterday as it’s the first film in forever that has peaked my interest enough to want to go see in the cinema outside of movies that need to be truly experienced in IMAX (Dune, Interstellar etc…)
Maybe I’m just a cunt but an hour before we were supposed to go I realized what is the point? Paying to go sit and watch something I’m massively interested in while people around me chew on shite and try and recite Amhrán na bhFiann with a winegums packet. God forbid there’s a pack of teens trying to get the shift that have chosen your movie to do it in, because there is zero chance you’re going to get a seconds peace to actually watch the film.
Obviously not every screening is like this but what’s the point in running the risk of completely ruining something I’m really really interested in seeing and putting myself in a shitty mood when I can just wait a month and watch it in 4k from the comfort of my couch.
I kind of think the cinema experience just isn’t that great – for parking, popcorn, coke and a tickets for 2 it’s about 50 quid and let’s face it, the quality of most recent movies is very iffy on average
