Author Topic: Greater Union rebranding to become...EVENT CINEMAS??? John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia. Registered: Dec 1999 posted 05-26-2009 08:46 PM                     Yup. Whirlpool Forum topic It's a forum, but there are some GU people in there who confirm it. Apparently it's only 'select' cinemas and those that do go will be all-digital. There are several other references to it on Google. Search 'event cinemas'.  |  IP: Logged Michael Hossen Expert Film Handler Posts: 136 From: Perth, Australia Registered: Apr 2007 posted 06-27-2009 11:49 PM                        Interesting John. Wonder which sites they're changing over here in WA.  |  IP: Logged Cameron Glendinning Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 845 From: West Ryde, Sydney, NSW Australia Registered: Dec 2005 posted 07-01-2009 08:26 PM                     Todays newspaper ad features the new look.  |  IP: Logged Michael Hossen Expert Film Handler Posts: 136 From: Perth, Australia Registered: Apr 2007 posted 07-12-2009 02:10 AM                        GU's Inaloo site over here in WA has been re branded. The Morley site is still being advertised as GU.  |  IP: Logged David Kilderry Master Film Handler Posts: 355 From: Melbourne Australia Registered: Sep 1999 posted 08-12-2009 02:00 AM                        I must admit it all seems a little starnge. I understand the concept, but Event? Why not The Greater Union Experience cinemas or something? I hardly think these live (delayed!) rock concerts and the like will ever be the money spinners that features are. It does not mean all digital (not yet anyway), I think it means Digital 3D, Gold Class and V Max. GU/Event have more digital coming in the next few months, but not enough to cover all of these Event cinemas. 100 years of (Greater) Union branding gone......brave decision. I wonder what Sir Norman would think?  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.
