Burnley cinema launches poll to find out top films public want to see on the silver screen

Bosses at Reel Cinema, which re-opened its doors for the first time last month after the pandemic forced its closure in March, want to find out what films people would like to see on the silver screen.

From classics, such as Jaws and Titanic, through to cartoons and kids' films, the public are being given the chance to put forward suggestions.

Andy White, who is manager at the Manchester Road complex said: "We really would like to find out what people want to see and if we can get the films we will show them."

Visitor numbers are down at the cinema and Andy said he wasn't sure if this was because of safety fears due to Covid 19 or because major film releases have been pushed back.

He stressed that social distancing measures are in place and staff have been fully trained in Covid 19 safety rules and are all wearing full PPE.

The hours of opening at the cinema have been reduced during the week but remain the same at the weekend but filmgoers must book online.

Seats are allocated with an automatic protective 'bubble' around them but couples or a family of four who book tickets will be given seats together.

The Dark Knight Trilogy and The Empire Strikes Back have already been shown to an enthusiastic response from cinemagoers.
