NICE TO SEE VUE DOING WELL and look like they are ready to take all Cineworld customers if they continue down this rote of nothing for shareholders?? social Media is a powerful tool when it comes to what cinema offer the best value for family
Cinema chain Vue said a fifth of its customers had purchased tickets to see both films in a double bill dubbed by social media as Barbenheimer.
More than 2,000 of Vue's Barbie screenings were sold out, according to the company.
Tim Richards, chief executive and founder of Vue International, told the PA news agency: "We knew it was going to be a big weekend based on the advanced bookings, which were also the biggest since the pandemic.
"The numbers are phenomenal. We had over 500,000 customers come to Vue on the weekend alone. We had 4,000 sold-out sessions, 2,000 sold-out sessions for Barbie alone.
"But I think that it's not just about Barbie and Oppenheimer, it's just a return to cinema.
