Cinema’s late, late showings
A CINEMA in Swiss Cottage is to show films in the middle of the night to movie-mad fans desperate to be the first to see Hollywood blockbusters.
Vue Cinema at the 02 Centre in Finchley Road can now stay open until 3.30am on 10 nights a year.
A clause agreed at a Camden Council licensing meeting on Monday night allows the cinema to be among the first venues in the world to show blockbusters Star Wars: The Revenge of The Sith, The Fantastic Four and Batman Begins.
Neighbours had complained that late screenings would lead to sleepless nights as chattering movie-goers left the cinema.
Marie Garside, of Frognal Estate Residents Association, said: “Patrons will have to pass through streets of hopefully sleeping residents who will undoubtedly be disturbed.”
But cinema manager Kamaljit Singh Dosanjh said disturbance would be kept to a minimum.
