    Probably because the cinemas are putting on a huge number of screenings for Skyfall and the other films are indie or have been on for a couple of weeks so they have pushed them into the early times.

    Maybe they sold out (and the website takes them off when they are full) or maybe they are little cinemas, or maybe the buildings close early for some reason. I usually go to The Grand and it has almost like 30 screening times tomorrow for each weekend day and hardly any times for the other films. Also, they are all almost sold out, couldn't find a decent seat tomorrow at I time I can go

    I can't see any listings for the 6th at Tai Koo anyway. Do they usually have them so far in advance. Usually they only have 3 or 4 days in advance. You probably just have to wait until the schedule is updated.

    ohh, may be that's the case...you can't get a listing for so many days in advance or something.
    I might as well go down there and see if I can buy from the advance counter. (so old school)

    I thought the UA cinema in CWB (Times Square) was closed as well. Which is good cause that place was a shit hole.

    If I were you I'd make the trek to KLN side and see it at one of the IMAXs or The Grand Manhattan Galaxy theatre. Or even go to AMC in Admiralty.

    Sucks to be Aussie cinema fan then . The ads in Canada and US (or the UK prior to this) are usually much shorter. I don't mind the trailer for other movies (some trailers I actually enjoy watching-if it is a film I anticipate) as much as the ads which you can watch on TV.

    Anyway, I'm going to see Skyfall tonight at the AMC Festival Walk, I'll time the ads to see how long it is. If indeed it last 30 mins or more, I'll organize a mob to burn down the cinema for you. .
