Went to buy tickets for GI Joe last Thursday night.

The employee told me no more screening of GI Joe ANYMORE in RP, but I can go to the cinema at Landmark to watch it.

WFT!!!??? What kind of organisation would stop the selling of tickets for a Box Office Summer Movie?? (Same thing happend to Transformer 2 last time).

Is there a reason as to why they stop selling those tickets? Don't they want people to come and pay for movies is it?

Can somebody tell me what's wrong here?

Because there are plenty of people who want what they're offering.

Thank you _noms_, i agree with you on that comment.

Brit, CC is the best place so far, but with the recent shortage of parking spaces as well as heavy traffic, it tends to get quite frustrated.

Tallg, i also agree with you on this, the power to say the final word is not in the hands of customer. I wonder how they have been surviving this long. :)

They target a different audience than the other cinemas in Qatar. They can screen what they want. Not an issue.

Maybe they felt bthat G.I Joe is not the right for the majority of people visiting the Royal Plaza..

Go to CC.. I saw it there yesterday..

When a Box Office Summer Movies comes out... shortest time to run it is 4 weeks.... GI Joe just started...

even CC put those summer movies for quiet some weeks... but due to the traffic n limited parking space in CC, i would consider other options.

cinema in LM... just to comment... will be the 1st and the last time i'll be going there.

Not to my expectation, comparing the cinema to the shopping mall itself which shown as lavish n luxurious, the cinema doesn't keep it's standards.
