(ED Picturehouse now open)when is the cinema on LL opening?

[Applespider]

Phones are apparently back up and lots of tickets left according to Twitter. Only session that is booked out is the 5pm Sunday one.

I ended up on the phone for 20 minutes earlier today - so yes, try not to do it from a mobile

I can't believe anything has sold out. I'm a big fan of the cinema and a founding member but when I passed by this morning it was still a building site. They'll need to pass out hard hats with your 3D glasses unless there is a miracle between now and Friday!

[Zebedee Tring]

It looks like they will be using only one of the auditoria this weekend, as they are showing only one film at a time.

[Bic Basher]

What film are they showing during the members only weekend?

[Ginster]

The Falling.

A little Chaos. (Plus a Q&A with Alan Rickman)

Family Day on Sunday:

Moomins on the Riviera at 10.00am

Home at 12.00

Maleficent at 2.30

How To Train Your Dragon 2 at 2.30

[MrBen]

This place is looking good. Nice refurb.

[Earl Aelfheah]

They were working late on it when I walked past this evening.

[MrBen]

They need to do "Dad, Beer and Baby" sessions. A brilliant idea for which I'm lobbying hard. Mums can't have it all their own way.....

[MrBen]

It seems that this weekends opening will involve a protest on April 18th re. London living wage.

Looking ahead it might get a mention on this thread....so a reminder that if you want to vent more about it use this thread instead: http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?20,1357998,page=9

Looking at it this morning, I can't help wondering whether the builders have cut corners a bit with the finish - bolts not screwed down properly, the paving leading up to the door looks like it's going to gather water. A 4 month overrun... I don't know who the contractors are, but I hope Picturehouse have got some snag fixing and overrun clauses agreed with them.

Just been to the press launch. It looks AMAZING. They're still finishing off bits and bobs, but it's a truly great addition to the Lane. Seats incredibly comfortable, and I can see over a tall person sitting in front of me. The bar area is lovely, and each screen has a different feel. Nice seats for two at the back. Hats off to the Picturehouse team, who've worked so hard. Very excited.

[LondonMix]

I?m shocked! I walked by this morning and it actually looks like it will open on time. On Monday I would never have guessed it.

Be nice to have some listings:

the contractors may have over run, but hats off to them, they've been a cheery bunch!

well done

[Earl Aelfheah]

Anyone been today?

[James Barber]

This is so exciting. I first started asking cinemas about comnig to East Dulwich five years ago. And we now finally have one. Orignally I thought it would be Bermondsey Shortwave who are afab. But even more delighted we now have 3 screens. Well done Picturehouse.

[MissKing]

Hooray I'm so excited about this! So what if they have over run on the building work - at the end of the day we'll have a great new addition to East Dulwich, and a cinema within walking distance from home will be amazing.

[Earl Aelfheah]

It is great to have a local cinema. Really chuffed.

Anyone know what the rake is like? Nothing more infuriating than a piddly, gentle slope...

I don't get it.

[Rolo Tomasi]

Are they showing Age of Ultron?

[Phil.]

Well thanks for lobbying for so long for this James Barber. I only moved to ED in January and I was genuinely over the moon to see a Picturehouse being constructed!

[holloway]

Agree with Phil, good work James Barber. Cheers.

[BrandNewGuy]

On Twitter, they're saying it's opening fully on the 23rd.
