Rey_Piste Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 One of my friends has gone to a few marathons and double feature presentations at the Prince Charles cinema at Leicester Square. They're doing stuff like all 8 Harry Potter films in a row or all 3 extended edition LOTR films in a row. I hate to imagine the smell of the place after an all nighter 13 hour film marathon.

Not sure I could do a full-on marathon. To be fair, each film always shows the credits in full also, and will always have the standard adverts / trailers before the latest release, so there's always a good 20-30 minutes where you can go out and stretch your legs, get some fresh air and use the toilet if necessary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 When I did the Back To The Future one, they had trailers before the first one and then 10 minutes between each film. Doing all 8 Potter films back to back would be overkill for even the most diehard fan surely. my local Cineworld was taking bookings for the full MCU marathon just before Civil War came out, but it got cancelled inthe end. I think it sounded a good idea on paper then they realised how many films would be involved (would have been 13 in total at that point) and that the place would have to open beyond its regular hours. I can't imagine there would be many that would have done the full thing, I reckon people would have bought there tickets and then see the ones they want to and skip others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I say, I think it sounded a good idea on paper, but they hadn't thought of the fact that it would be quite literally a full day at the cinema, which is why I think it was cancelled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pryko Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I think I remember someone telling me they did a Harry Potter one at Cineworld, but instead of it being back to back, it was 1 film per day, for a week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I took one of my ex wives to the premiere of Star Trek Generations that had the previous 6 films playing first. I'm a keeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members BigJag Posted April 22, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted April 22, 2017 Sky are showing all these in order up to Star Trek Nemesis. This weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Yeah they done the Trek channel thing a couple of times. Makes sense as the newest one (can't remember what it was called) premiered on Sky recently. As its nearly May 4th, it'll become the Star Wars channel again soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted April 27, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted April 27, 2017 I don't know how he's going to top the ending to what was the greatest magic trick ever pulled off in my cinema going experiences, but I've pined for 17 years to read this news, and greatly anticipated for the last few months: http://www.denofgeek.com/uk/movies/glass/49012/unbreakable-sequel-glass-set-for-2019 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
