Once the cinema is up and going, we'll use those channels to let you know about what's playing, respond to your queries and just have a chat!

[Anet]

Cannot access this site yet! Can we put names on an email list to be kept informed?

[mmjw]

Fantastic news! Any idea when you'll be opening?

[Jon Barrenechea]

Hi Anet

what do you mean you can't access the site? Which one?

[Jon Barrenechea]

We are aiming for a December opening!

[Libby]

I can't find the Facebook page, is it up and running yet? Or, it could just be me not looking in the right places. :)

[Jon Barrenechea]

This has also got to be excellent news for Franklins. Lovely restaurant, but always seems to be no more than half full.

[Ejb123]

Soon excited about the picture house!!! Bring on December!!

[brezzo]

Here's hoping the staff get paid a living wage unlike the Ritzy

Lets hope there's no chemical warfare that will occur there, unlike Syria.

Will you be offering discounts at local restaurants and bars, like you do with those near to Clapham and Brixton venues, for those who take out annual memberships?

[Jon Barrenechea]

Yes we will! We already have a national deal with GBK so that's a quick and easy win - more partnerships to be announced

[missmoneypenny]

Ooh exciting news : )

Like the buzz of the Greenwich Picture House, if you could recreate that on yo a winner!

[Bic Basher]

I don't know much about the Picturehouse cinemas, but I hope you'll have some World Cinema films, will save me having to visit Curzon.

[Jon Barrenechea]

We most definitely will! World cinema features very prominently at all our cinemas

[Anet]

Looks fantastic on the Fb site! A great addition to the Dulwich scene! Thanks Jon.

[Zebedee Tring]

Can't see why this won't get planning permission since it's a great scheme(famous last words).

[Nigello]

One thing, Jon: can you do your best to ensure that sound doesn't bleed through from one screening room to another. It sometimes happens at Ritzy/Clapham but if you are building from scratch better soundproofing might now be available.

[Jon Barrenechea]

The way we build cinemas these days there's no chance of any noise bleed - each screen is completely sound proofed.

[Medley]

If planning goes OK, when would you open, how many screens, what's the food/drink offer etc?

[Jon Barrenechea]

We're aiming for a December opening - 3 screens, 244 seats in total. We'll have a cafe/bar with a small food offer still being formulated....

Great to hear, I have a French speaking mother who'll love that. I take it that if I want to see a mainstream film, I'll have to continue to go to the Peckham Plex or one of the chain cinemas? (Odeon/Vue)

I wouldn't have thought so Picture Houses cover all the good mainstream releases.
