Balbriggan Cinema is Open again

I was browsing the Help Desk forum and noticed the thread below:

New poster, there's nothing online, nothing mentioned in this forum either?

Can anyone shed any light on the posters claim?

The phone numbers listed are for a recording of screen times. But its for week ending 7th march.

Kintarō Hattori

I'll give both numbers a ring shortly.

When I passed it yesterday there were no screen times up in the window which I thought was unusual. I normally walk past during a weekday when it's not open though.

On the recording he says "Friday the 1st of March to Thursday the 7th of March"

I reckon he meant to say April instead of March. An easy mistake to make with the change in month.

Well I rang both numbers and both just gave film times. I tried to 'book' a movie to try and speak to someone but no-one answered.

I know they where in a bit of trouble, money wise but didnt hear anything about it being closed

Good news to hear that they'll be staying open. I hope to see many many movies there with the missus.

They are advertising a job there so it mustn't be closing

Can't believe the cinema is open nearly 5 years :eek:

As a frequent visitor to the weekend kids club with my 3 year old, it would be a terrible loss to the community. Perhaps us boardsies could help out with a monthly film club? Mightn't be much, but it could help.

wow sierra

Listings for Balbriggan Cinema are always on http://www.entertainment.ie

Like someone else said we should all try to make a bit of effort to support it so it doesn't close.

That's sad, my kids used it regularly

wow sierra

Went down there tonight all set to see Killing Bono:(.

It's a real pity. I'm afraid I didn't go there very often but it is such a shame it is gone. If people are talking about new owners does it look like it might reopen? I hope it does.

Another Irish business bites the dust - this recession is a pain in the ass. Sympathies to all the people who have lost their jobs. Hope things look up soon for ye.

LimeTime

ragg

I hope the new management keep the butter popcorn, its one of the few places in Dublin that still do it :cool:

Any idea how soon? That's great news. I must make sure to go a bit more often when it does reopen.

Jimdagym

Definitely gonna try and start a boards ncd cinema club if there is enough interest once this re-opens.

walked past the cinema last night and the film info ticker said "Closed due to flooding, re-opening 20th April".

Hi all I can confirm the cinema is reopening, just an issue with a bust pipe but its almost there! There is a new website which will keep you updated [url]HTTP://WWW.balbriggancinema.com[/url]. Fell free to drop any suggestions you have

Fanta & coke in the machines instead of club orange. Machine fanta and butter popcorn is what makes life worth living.

Allow customers to prebook seats. I cannot even begin to describe how annoying it is to have to arrive to a film up to 30 mins beforehand to start queueing so as to not end up in the front row.

I'll pass on all your comments
