So the Haverhill cinema is really starting to take shape and you can tell where the banks of seating are going to be and therefore presumably the screens in front (one would hope, otherwise there's going to be an awful lot of people down the physio after each showing).
But looking at them, I can't help but think it looks a little cramped... for five screens anyway.
My understanding is they need to get 1,000 people in per day to break even but it looks like we'll all be sitting on one another's laps! However, it's probably just impossible to tell at the moment and maybe things will become clearer when the cinema opens.
On a slightly different aspect of cinemas... am I the only person who gets annoyed that films are only shown for one week before being moved to the graveyard slot? Case in point, Shrooms, which looked great. But for one reason or another, I couldn't get to the cinema that weekend. I don't have a car and so don't much like travelling around on the buses alone at night unless I have to, but I was hoping there would be at least an early-evening showing in week two. Instead both Cambridge cinemas moved it to 11pm. Which would be a great time to see it, I admit, if you could get there. I suppose this is one thing the Haverhill complex will help with, if one can walk to the cinema there's less of a barrier to seeing late showings.
Hmmmm.

Hi Phil - interesting blog entry. You might find a video about the cinema that I made about a year ago interesting. I filmed it before construction had started, You can find this video here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=UrrT2vIhYNM
I'm thinking of making another one this Easter - a sort of sequel. If you want to get involved, you're more than welcome.
