Batman and Mamma lift Cineworld
28 Oct 2008Movie chain Cineworld today shrugged off the consumer downturn and delivered a blockbuster performance.
Film lovers flocking to see Mamma Mia and the latest Batman flick The Dark Knight sent box-office takings soaring 3.9% in the 43 weeks to 23 October, while total revenues were up 2.2%.
Despite the delayed release of the next Harry Potter film, chief executive Steve Wiener expects bumper sales in the run-up to Christmas as James Bond: Quantum of Solace and High School Musical 3 pull in the crowds.

Well here's one customer they have lost...
Having been an avid film goer for YEARS and 2 Cineworlds being my locals.
£9+! and want to search you for taking in refreshments other than the OVERPRICED rubbish they sell.
What sort of monies do they think families have?
