Notes for editor
The Picturedrome Electric Theatre Co Ltd operates cinemas in Bognor Regis, Dorchester and Westgate on sea.
Gala Bingo operate 138 clubs nationwide
The Plaza now has 4 screens and shows live via satellite Opera, Ballet and Theatre. Recent Bond film, “Skyfall” has sold out almost every showing for 6 weeks.
Screen 4, the final addition to the cinema, is on its way….Also the Plaza is hoping to go fully digital by the end of 2011. Further more, the Plaza now has a fully lincensed bar and all 3 screens are licenced. Aswell as being on Facebook, the Plaza now have a blog, and a twitter page. PLaza babies – a weekly screening with the volume down and the lights up for parents with babies unser 18th months now showing every Wednesday.
And yes, it is the NEC 2K DLP Digital projector that they are using for 3D – they have the XPAND 3D system (I visted the projection room recently – March 2010).
Only one of the 2 new screens is to open in the summer (fingers-crossed) – the 4th screen to follow. The bingo hall is all cleared out and ready to go however.
3D HAS ARRIVED IN DORCHESTER!!
The Plaza Now has the ability to show 3D films.
Upcoming 3D film ‘ALICE IN WONDERLAND IN 3D’ from 5 March.
They alredy had an NEC 2K DLP Digital Projector, but i am not sure if this is the projector that will be used for 3D. Probably, though, as this was the only Digital Projector which they had, i’m not sure if they have any more now.
SORRY, CORRECTION: This Cinema charges LOADS compared o the Plaza Cinema in Dorchester – just 7 miles away. CINEWORLD WEYMOUTH – £7.40 adult Sat/Sun & after 5pm
£5.10 Child / Snr £6.10 Adult before 5pm Mon, Wed – Sun
‘Bargain Tuesday’ : all seats £4.80
PLAZA CINEMA DORCHESTER: all seats Mon – Fri £2.50 Sat/Sun £3.50
This cinema (CINEWORLD) i have noticed is sometimes quite quiet.
They are currently beginning to build 2 new screens at the Plaza, in the long – disused bingo hall. Fingers-crossed they should open in the Summer, just before the new 3 screen ‘good quality’ cinema in Brewery Square (less than ½ mile away) will open its doors.
