the whole argument seems like a marketing ploy to get more publicity!

An absolutely massive screen suspended from the ceiling in Cineworld, Boldon today. It was a talking point with a lot of people who were in the queue to b*y tickets. I did not tell them of the controversy surrounding the release of this film in the UK. Here's hoping the situation is resolved soon.

Not what sure is going on with the booking page on Sky but 'Glasgow Renfrew Street' has appeared as one of the cinema options and is apparently already 'sold out'. I haven't even seen a mention of a code anywhere. The link to the Alice in Wonderland page on the Sky website still says 'Tickets available soon so keep checking!'. Very odd.

They are probably still in the process of updating and it's not bookable yet which is why it says sold out.

Well it does say 'regional premiere screenings up and down the country', so there will be more.

Disney want to bring the DVD out 12 weeks after the films release rather than the usual 17 weeks. The cinemas threatened to boycott the film and refused to show it if they went ahead. Cineworld have now backed down but Odeon and Vue are still refusing to compromise.

Here's the story on The Times website http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/ ... 031380.ece

Please can people not post on Free Films about Glasgow Cineworld being booked out. I doubt very much the whole system is set up properly yet.
