Ole Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Are there any more news on this? Walked by it this morning and there are no signs of activity.

Earl Aelfheah Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Surely some gang activity? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/54984-ed-picturehouse-now-openwhen-is-the-cinema-on-ll-opening/#findComment-827660 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medusa Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I was looking this morning for an update on their facebook. Nothing at all. I'm surprised they are making so little effort to keep prospective customers up to speed.

DulwichFox Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Think they are waiting for the place that was The Patch to re-open. .. and they are waiting for the Cinema to open.. Chicken and Egg situation... :) DulwichFox Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/54984-ed-picturehouse-now-openwhen-is-the-cinema-on-ll-opening/#findComment-827686 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Aelfheah Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 They sent this out a while ago:"...You may have noticed that progress on the building work has been slower than expected. But we have all been working as hard as we can, and we are now pleased to announce that we will be opening our doors on ? drumroll please ? Friday 20 March. We promise it will be worth the wait!"Haven't seen them promoting this opening date online anywhere though, so perhaps they're not too confident about it. Looks to me like there is still a lot to do in less than 3 weeks.

Earl Aelfheah Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 ... if they are planning on opening in 2 and a half weeks time, they'll need to start selling tickets pretty soon.

holloway Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 i walked past there on friday and it still looked like a building site. three weeks seems unlikely.

LondonMix Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 3 weeks is wildly optimistic Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/54984-ed-picturehouse-now-openwhen-is-the-cinema-on-ll-opening/#findComment-827755 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Aelfheah Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 It's kind of silly for them to again miss their own opening date. I know it's a major refurbishment and you never know what you're going to uncover - making it difficult to estimate how long building works will take - but surely the old adage of 'under promise, over deliver' applies here. After missing the original 'christmas opening', they really should be a bit more conservative with the announcements.

jctg Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Maybe if Picturehouse paid the builders a bit more they'd work a bit harder, to get it done.

Earl Aelfheah Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Hmmm - not sure about that. I'm assuming the builders agreed a price up front to do the job - in which case they should do it. Can't imagine that they make any more on it by dragging things out.

Reg Smeeton Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Their Twitter account was still saying 20th March a couple of weeks ago. I'll be surprised but thrilled if they do manage to open on that date. Fingers crossed.

yeknomyeknom Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I saw things getting delivered today. Furniture and internals and what not. So if they are receiving this sort of stuff it maybe looks hopeful.

James Barber Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 How pointlessly mysterious. Perhap they're gonig to open 1 or two screans only to start with.

Reg Smeeton Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 I peeked in this morning while waiting for the bus. The interior still looked like breeze blocks and plasterboard. I'm waiting for Annika Rice to turn up saying 'We have 24 hours to open this cinema, anyone got a tin of paint they could donate?'

albert Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Mid April now. They're a bit behind. The Irish shop is going to be part of the cafe I think.

Bic Basher Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 When I went past, an old bloke had a sneaky look as well. From what I could see too, it was far from ready.
