Although the new X-Files movie entered the UK box office charts at number 4, our local cinema has decided to pull the daytime screenings and re-schedule the film for mid to late evenings from Friday onwards. Owing to the fact that we don't own a car and our local bus 'service' provides a skeleton run at night, we're unable to see the film during its theatrical run as I had to work today.So, a BIG thank you to the firm I work for, with regard to changing my day off work for the umpteenth time and pissing me about yet again. I can fully understand why the cinema chose to do this, even though I'm mildly surprised it didn't last for more than a week of 'all day' screenings. Personally, I think a little more care could have been taken with regard to the release date. It's not exactly a quiet month at the cinemas as several movies are more than fulfilling prior expectations with high audience figures.
Ah well, we await the DVD!
I'm sorry to hear. It came and went at my local cinemas before I had a chance to see it. I'll have to catch it on dvd.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Keith. A real shame it was pulled so soon. I reckon it must have done decent box office in places like London, and not so good in other smaller cities.
ReplyDeleteI still can't believe how poorly the film faired...only lasted two weeks here. I suspect it will be a smash on DVD...
ReplyDeleteI can't believe it either, Jeremy. it entered at number 4 in our box office and I hoped it would play at a decent hour for a second week so we could see it. I also think it will have legs on DVD, and can't wait to see it.
