Does anyone know if there is a late night cinema in Dublin? Just had a goo on me tonight to go to a late movie and the latest showing in all the normal places was about 9.30
Anyone know of anywhere that shows a later film?

You're leaving it very late.. but no I'm afraid not.

Vue cinema might do a midnight shower on a major release but that's all I know. Sorry.

well I meant for another night... I've left it way too late for tonight.
I'd never even heard of Vue so thanks for that. Its a shame though that there isn't a place like the Stella used to be.....handy, local and open late.

Im always surprised that most cinemas laest screenings are around 9.30.
I guess to stay open any much longer after 12 would mean having to pay a lot of overtime.

yeah, I suppose they'd need to know it was going to popular before they tried it...
I reckon it would be though... anyone I've mentioned it to recently has been up for it

I blame the multiplexes. Back in the days of the one-screen cinema, late-night screenings were more commonplace - it just costs too much to keep an 8-screen cinema open for a small crowd. One-off screenings of cult/older films just don't exist anymore. You can usually get a late-show of new films at the weekends (Friday/Saturday) though.
