A Billion Lives.

Locations are up for several UK venues.

To get a showing they need to have enough people reserve tickets.
Go here to get a list of locations and links to the ticket bookings.

Come on folks, tell everybody you know about this and get the film showing in as many places as possible.

EDIT: some folks having issues with the link so here are the general locations,

Preston
Manchester
Glasgow
Tamworth
Worcester
Lincoln
London
Hatfield
Newark
Bracknell
Bristol

Link not working for me

Link worked earlier for me.... BUT now it gives me security warnings!!

Still works for me. Greenwich is the nearest showing to me, but I'm all out of holiday until the next financial year so the chances are slim.

I'll reserve/buy a ticket nearer the time if they struggle to hit the numbers required though. It needs to happen.

[vereybowring]

OK direct links for the venue booking locations;

Preston
Manchester
Glasgow
Tamworth
Worcester
Lincoln
London
Hatfield

Hopefully that works.
Locations are general for areas but the listings gives you exact details.

Seems slightly strange that Manchester and Preston have showings but there's very little going on in the south/south West.

Even if Plymouth/Exeter/Truro (quite big for niche stuff according to a film buff mate of mine) didn't get a showing, I'm surprised that Bristol isn't on the list.

[vereybowring]

Well it comes down to how much interest was shown on demand film.
The areas that got the most interest and have cinemas with a suitable slot get a showing.

For instance last time I checked Scotland was down to three possible locations (all around Glasgow) but it has come down to the one venue.

Its the old supply and demand thing. They weren't gonna try and get a location that didn't have enough interest.
Although we are also at the mercy of the cinema chains, unless they got a flood in one location it was never gonna get into a larger venue and they will have lumped things together somewhat to get down to these few.

Come on guys this is a piss poor uptake with only days to go in some cases.

If we vapers can't be arsed getting the film out there, why the hell should anyone else.

Sorry but i think this is a non starter the film being in cinemas
It needs to be on TV or youtube at least.
I cant imagine any stubborn smokers shelling out to go to the
cinema.
The people going to the cinema will have already made the switch
to vaping.

I agree
Cinema!
It needs to be on TV and shown to the masses. People just won't be bothered making the effort otherwise

[vereybowring]

Ah well then, lets just not do anything and hope any positive promotion gets handed to us on a plate so we don't have to anything at all.
So far the mass media outlets have shown massive support for us - oh wait no that didn't happen they just do scare stories because that's what makes them money.

Yup in an ideal world it would be shown on TV and be spread around freely.
Oh dear we aren't in an ideal world, companies are driven by money and it would take large amounts of money to have it freely available everywhere.
It was made by a small independent film maker who can't splash money around to promote it and doesn't have the pull to just get it on TV, oh and of course they aren't smokers/vapers.
Yup they should have just plonked it on youtube, lost money and made sure they gets fewer investors for future projects since they would be a proven loss maker.
They should have done this so vapers can get on with discussing flavours, gear and watching reviews while the ANTZ slowly work to destroy vaping.

Didn't say I wouldn't tell people about it and I hear what you are are saying about money.
Yet it is a shame it's only on at the cinema imo.
It's also a shame that there are so many vendors who are making a hell of a lot of money from us who could help fund.
Snerpy remarks against us for having an opinion on the the best way forward I think is uncalled for tbh.

What reason is there for vapers to go see this film? We already know what the film is trying to highlight. Sadly this film will be a flop in terms of getting the message to the masses. The above figures, which are poor, highlights what I feel. The film may be brilliant. The maker may be the best director ever, but I see little point spending a fortune preaching to the converted. I also see little point me spending my hard earned money watching something I already know.

If it ever gets on tv then I may watch it out of curiosity.
