We're sold out a week ahead in advance.
The opening weekend of Alice In Wonderland made more than Avatar in our Imax, we've already sold 11,000 tickets both this weekend and advance bookings. Which is mental for a cinema with one screen. |

I saw Alice in Wonderland today, not at the Imax, just a normal cinema.
The 3D stuff wasn't brilliant? It was okay, but I think I'd of been just as happy seeing it in 2D rather than 3D. |

Well...it's not really mental...considering it's easier to sell out when there's less seats (because of one screen) and it's an IMAX. :p and for the record. Alice in Wonderland is fucking WANK. |

I think the 'mental' part is that they've sold 11,000 tickets.
Not selling out a one screen cinema. |

around 300 seats for an average imax (it's probably more than that, the one in london has near 500)? One screen that everyone's bombarding to in a city? 3-4 showings a day? 11,000 isn't mental. Sounds about right for a new Tim Burton film.
I'd choose imax over a normal cinema anyday if we had one nearby! Those people are gonna be so disappointed though :( Edited by Kels - 10 Mar 2010 at 01:08 |

Kels you're so weird pretending to suddenly dislike IMAX because I work there. Think 11,000 tickets, which works out at roughly £100,000 in two days. With one screen. We make £5000 a showing. It's impressive, maybe not as impressive as a club which went under and didn't pay you, but impressive non the less.
Zing. You kinda asked for that one. People are loving 3d, it's almost completely down to Avatar, because we've been in Birmingham for years, and this is the first time we're getting real consistent traffic of people. Get ready to watch fucking EVERYTHING in 3d summer 2011 whether you like it or not. |

NOOOOOOO! What's the big deal with 3D all of a sudden anyway? Am I missing something? I went to Futurascope with the school in 4th year and everything was 3D and 'amazing' and it wasn't even all that exciting back then. |

People have literally just realised what it is by the looks of it, because Alice is fucking average, but people are just coming because we're the imax and it's in 3d. The amount of people who tell me that they "wouldn't see it anywhere else" is astounding.
I think they think I'm gonna high five them or something judging by the looks on their faces. |
