The largest cinema chain in the Middle East is opening in Hamra Tower this coming Friday with the movie Skyfall. The theater once open will have a total of 9 screens with one of them being a VIP theater which I’ve previously been told will rival those of Dubai. [Link]

How do we book a ticket online? or do we have to go there and stand in line like the good old days?
I am guessing once the theater opens up you’ll be able to book tickets from https://www.grandcinemas.com/
finally, some competition
Will the movies be censored…? (Also, will there be seafood served to us? I love seafood! :D)
Movie censorship isn’t handled by the cinemas
I hope they will be serving some booze too : )
Damn… I’ll be travelling on the same day…
I just hope they serve Coca-Cola products!
Too bad Batman isn’t out anymore :I
What is the use of rivalry if good movies are banned in Kuwait but not Dubai !
Ask the MoI!!!
skyfall wont play at Cinescape?
Which part of the word “Exclusively” you don’t understand bro?
LOL
Cinescape will not not show it on the release date like rest of the Middle East. They will most probably show it after a couple of weeks like they do with most movies.
oops! didn’t see ‘exclusively’!
I hope they serve Masafi Water.
I heard that Gemma Arteton will be at the VVIP premiere.so is it this one?
You heard wrong. Its Daniel Craig himself who will be spending an entire day at Grand Cinemas as well as stroll around Avenues and 360 Mall on release day.
Wait
What
Are you serious ?
LOL,nice one! 😀
Don’t forget lunch at Dean and Deluca 😀
Or Carrefour.
No she will be there november 1st for the james bond 50th anniversary event and not this premier.
Mark, where will that event be held?
360 Mall exhibition hall
Thanks for the reply!
Could you be a little more specefic with the time she’ll be there and what will go on at the event
Yeah aaa, optimus.. he and Sheikh Mak will be getting some black truffles at Carefour before they head out to Hamra for the opening 😉
Do anyone knows when the reservation will begin (26 October or before)
How do they propose to keep all the Dicks away from all the Janes in the cinema? Free seating without segregation will be a bit much for Kuwait, I should imagine. Enough to make parliamentarians (once there is a parliament that is) to squirm in their seats and create a ruckus over it!
It will be manna from heaven if they can introduce cell phone jammers inside the cinema to keep all the cell fone addicted riffraff at bay.
The VIP screens at Cinescape have no segregation; and they have been around for quite a while. So all that drama is not necessary.
Also, some screens at Cinescape have already employed cell phone jammers – its not universal, but it is available at some of their locations.
However, being a HUGE James Bond fan, I would rather get a bunch of friends together and fly to Dubai to watch it as it was intended.
I am a huger James Bond fan as comapred to you,
Just sayin 😉
Mark
What time is the event ?
I got all the details but haven’t gone through the presentation yet. Once I do will post about it in more details.
Thanks alot , appreciate the effort
And Price, What about the price ? I hope it’s not skyrocketing….
The price is Skyfall….
Looks like on any given day there are more people in Kuwait enthused about the F & B concession at the movies than they are about the content or the films screening at the cinema. Early indications are Grand Cinemas @ Al Hamra will make for a superb tapas place. Too bad you can’t have your sangria to go with it.
How do we find out the movie length in Kuwait (to judge how much is cut)? imdb says its 143m.
