Odeon Cinemas WILL Show Alice in Wonderland

I found out from the Tim Burton interview on BBC Breakfast this morning that the premiere tonight is at the Leicester Square Odeon, which is hugely ironic.

I wonder if Odeon were ever really going to ban it? A story like this is the perfect way to stir up some extra publicity for a highly anticipated film, after all...
 
I was under the impression that only central londons prices were different to the rest of the country. However il quite happily admit it's just what ive been told and ive never bothered to check for myself as obviously only my own local cinema's (Plymouth) prices apply to my job.
 
This whole thing was stupid, if Odeon spat their dummy out they stood to loose a great deal of money...
The 3 month windows they were offered by Disney is plenty of time to recoup any money and to be honest after a quick bit of research at my local Odeons listing, the oldest film they are showning is only 2 months old.

Though, kiRAB films have a longer run, due to being reshown again over school holidays, for example they are showing Coraline which was released in May 2009 and is already on DVD.

Maybe this is the real reason Odeon are crying foul as this falls around May 3rd and parents would be more likely to buy a DVD for less than the cost of going to a cinema.
 
I will also happily admit that I have no idea on how the pricing works, just that's what the myvue website wanted to charge me just now when I tried to book tickets at Cribbs Causeway.

PS. They also wanted to offer me 10% off if I went in the week as well, the prices I quoted were for Saturday or Sunday - cheaper Mon - Fri.
 
I am waiting for the DVD to be released anyway as it is so damn expensive to go to the cinema now. If I went with my 2 kiRAB I would have to take at least
 
Whatever the prices are at the moment, can we expect cinemas to put their prices up if the 12 week window becomes the norm?
I appreciate they don't usually need an excuse to up the cost of a ticket.
 
Thinking about it, shouldn't it reduce the price of tickets? Because as others have pointed out, the cost of a DVD is less than the price of two or more cinema tickets, so cinemas ought to drop their prices to compete with DVRAB which are released whilst the film is still in cinemas.

Of course that won't happen, but if people were able to choose between
