The Church of England has said the policy preventing them from showing an advert featuring the Lord’s Prayer did not exist at the time they were trying to get the video into cinemas. It’s a business. I’ve said this before, but it’s worth repeating. yeah but then you cant show up 20 minutes late with a bottle of wine hidden up your jumper. Don’t mind the ads? If you tell me the movie starts at 7pm, then when I PAY YOU to get into the movies, there is an implied contract that you give me what I paid for… a movie at 7pm.
Stephen Slack, the Church’s chief legal adviser, warned the banning of the advert could “give rise to the possibility of legal proceedings” under the Equality Act which bans commercial organisations from refusing services on religious grounds. And that’s not my worst example. Should you go for this form of advertising? Will piracy be considered ok then? Haven't noticed it, maybe its because I'm still young. Worst would be Barry Scott SHOUTING about Cillit Bloody Bang! I wanted to watch a film recently with a 2h runtime, then needed to be somewhere else half an hour later. What some people may not appreciate is that cinemas actually make very little profit from ticket sales alone, depending instead on revenue generated from advertising and food. It’s a win/win for everyone. You can show up 10 mins after the ‘starting time’... therefore skipping the ads. I also noticed the “premier seats” extending into what would normally be the normal seating rows and the whole experience has become a shameless tatty stealth raid on my wallet just like a Ryan Air flight….
I think at this point I'd pay to go to a silent cinema where the sound is delivered to you personally through studio quality headphones at your seat and you can select the volume, equalizer settings and language. Incidentally why can you not skip adverts on legally purchased blu rays and dvd’s???? A CoE spokesman said it was initially believed that the minute-long advert had been approved and would be played before showings of Star Wars: The Force Awakens from December 18. LIMESCALE! Thankfully, it … Which? Regal Cinemas and Cinemark have struck a new deal with National CineMedia to add more in-theater advertising that will play on the big screen before the attached trailers play. Our bus is timetabled to get in at 3pm, and from there it is about a 6-10 minute walk to the cinema, so if bus arrives on schedule (hopefully), we should get there by no later than 3:10pm, or maybe a few minutes after.
I just stick my headphones in and fiddle with my phone while waiting for the trailers to start. Finally, at 8.58pm, sickened and with a sore head, my friend and I got up and left – made sure we got money back. What a joke! “This advert is about as ‘offensive’ as a carol service on Christmas Day.”. I don’t mind theaters making money off me when I get a product, service or entertainment in return… but commercials playing at 7pm when you told me the movie would be starting is doing nothing but STEALING my time. For example, if the movie is supposed to start at 7pm and I get into my seat at 6:45pm, I really don’t mind commercials and ads being shown on the screen until showtime. I think there are some great films being made, even now, and would like to support them, but for me, the industry at large has nothing but contempt for its customers. Some guy had bought his toddler along; a chap next to me was chatting with his kid, explaining what was going on in the film; babies crying; and a staggering 30+ mins of brainwashing before the film – and I’m sitting there thinking, I paid for this!?! We always recommend to avoid disappointment you arrive with enough time to enter the screen at the scheduled performance start time.
The cinema I work for has the sound system controlled off site to make sure that the sound quality is where it's "supposed to be" for the film and all sites have the same level of volume and mixing quality. You are taking from me without giving anything in return. The IMDB gives us this: Revenue from in-theater advertising rose more than 15 percent to $456 million from $395 million a year ago… The Post quoted CAC Chairman Cliff Marks as expressing the belief that moviegoers are becoming “more accepting” of screen advertising. //-->. It’s how we learn about products, services and entertainment. I hope so, because it’s really making me reconsider my desire to go to the cinema.
Famous events and memorable moments through the years in words, pictures and video. That's why there is liberal use of ad revenue to generate profit. Movie theaters have in essence found the PERFECT advertising. Out of curiosity, where do you live (broadly) that only Vue is accessible to you? The advert received clearance from the British Board of Film Classification and the Cinema Advertising Authority, but the Digital Cinema Media (DCM) agency – which handles adverts for Odeon, Cineworld and Vue cinemas – has refused to show it.
Therefore, they cannot sustain themselves by ticket prices alone. I tend to show up 15 minutes after the "start time", usually book a seat on the outside of the Aisle as to not disturb people as i find my seat. Have you been to a baseball or other sporting event, billboards everywhere and ads on the Jumbotron. The cinema chains are simply exercising the same right.”,
