Andy Edge, Commercial Director of ODEON said: “We’re delighted to be bringing this unique opportunity to see all the excitement of a red carpet premiere to more of our guests than ever before. Film premieres are usually something reserved for central London residents, and that’s if you’re lucky enough to get hold of a ticket! It’s the first time we’ve been able to host anything of this kind, and it’s shaping up to be a unique night for our guests across Europe. This is just one of the many exciting plans we have in the pipeline to bring the best in world-class entertainment to our guests in the UK and abroad.”
