Cinema Ratings

Seems like somewhere between 25,000 and 45,000 people (depending on what
the ticket price was) thought it was a good idea to turn up to the cinema
late on a Friday night to rewatch “The Legend of Ruby Sunday” on the big
screen and follow it with the premiere of “Empire of Death” at midnight
(simultaneously with its worldwide streaming drop).

And before Aggie tries to turn that into “10 paying customers and 40,000
freebie giveaways that no one bothered to use” , that estimate is based on
cash takings. The double bill was the fourth biggest cinema draw of the
weekend it ran in the U.K. - even though it was just a single showing in a
limited number of cinemas in the dead of night.

Speaking as a lifelong fan, no way I would have done that unless the
tickets WERE free. And maybe not then, I’d probably fall asleep trying to
watch something in darkness at midnight, at my age.

So there’s a lot of love for the latest incarnation of the Doctor out there
somewhere - cos again, can that really be more than a couple % of the
audience willing to go out and pay good money for something they could
watch for free at home - at the same time?
