Upcoming changes at Broadway Cinema

Thank you to the thousands of Broadway customers who completed our annual audience survey in August.

 
Whilst we take the time to look through your comments, we thought we would share some of the headline results with you:
 

• 98.4% of customers would recommend us
• More customers now use our website to view our film programme than our printed brochure
• 56.5% of survey respondents are unaware that Broadway is a registered charity
• Customers are frustrated by the implied queuing system in our Cafebar

 
You may have heard that we’re planning on making some ambitious changes to Broadway over the coming year which will make the customer experience even better.

These changes include a redesign of our Cafebar and Mezz Bar, upgrading comfort levels in Screens 1, 3 and 4 (don’t worry, we’ll still be retaining that unique Paul Smith style in Screen 4) and introducing 4K projection and 7.1 surround sound in Screens 1 and 2. 

Your honest and forthright feedback has confirmed much of our own thinking in regards to changes we can make to take Broadway forward, so we just want to take the time to say thank you.
 
Thank you for the record 194,492 tickets sold, the 82,864 pints of beer drank on your way into a film, the 47,442 cups of coffee grasped on a cold Silver Screen Thursday morning, the 18,171 pizzas ordered before settling in for the film quiz and the 9,382 slices of cake wolfed down from 9am until late.

Without your continued support and loyalty to Broadway, we would be just another cinema. With you behind us, we’re so much more.
 
Once our plans are finalised and the dates in 2019 are confirmed we will share these with you and ask for further input into their implementation. 
 
Thank you again,
 
Steve Mapp
CEO, Broadway Cinema

Mayhem Film Festival reveals full line-up for 2018 edition

Mayhem Film Festival is proud to announce the full line-up for its 2018 edition, which will take place at Broadway, Nottingham on 11-14 October. The festival showcases the best features and short films in horror, sci-fi and cult cinema, through premieres, previews, and guested screenings each year.

Mayhem 2018 starts as it means to go on with Scottish zombie musical Anna and the Apocalypse, which opens the festival on Thursday 11 October, and will be followed by a Q&A with director John McPhail. Aislinn Clarke will present a screening of her found-footage chiller The Devil’s Doorway, set in one of Ireland’s notorious Magdalene asylums. Writer-director Marc Price (smash-hit zombie flick Colin) will also attend the festival to present his action-packed crime-thriller Nightshooters, where things get messy when a hapless film crew on a late-night shoot accidentally record a gangland execution.

Mayhem’s 14^th edition will play host to no fewer than three UK Premieres, with exclusive first screenings of Nosipho Dumisa’s Cape Town-set Hitchcock homage Number 37, slow-burning science-fiction indie Prospect, and – as previously announced – Shinsuke Sato’s live-action manga adaptation Inuyashiki.

Already proving popular following last month’s announcement and certain to be festival highlights are Panos Cosmatos’ cosmic fever dream Mandy, starring a truly top-form Nicolas Cage, and Japanese box-office sensation One Cut of the Dead.

Delving into the archives, Mayhem is pleased to present a rare screening of Erik Blomberg’s strange and supernatural 1952 Finnish folktale, The White Reindeer, and the Dario Argento-produced 1985 cult classic Demons.

This year’s edition also includes screenings of horror anthologies Nightmare Cinema and The Field Guide to Evil – both previously announced – as well as preview screenings of Brazilian director Dennison Romalho’s macabre mortuary horror The Nightshifter, Nicolas Pesce’s darkly comic Piercing, starring Mia Wasikowska, the hilariously bad-taste splatterfest Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich, and haunted-house horror The Witch in the Window. Colin Minihan’s grueling survival thriller What Keeps You Alive will close the festival.

The ever-popular short film programme and Mayhem’s fiendish film quiz, The Flinterrogation - hosted by author David Flint - both return to round off this year’s line-up.

Early Bird passes will remain on sale at the discounted price of £65 until 10AM on Monday 10 September,  at which time individual tickets, day passes and full festival passes – at the standard price of £75 – will be made available. For more information, please visit www.mayhemfilmfestival.com
