For 2025, Christophe Allain is rather confident. “We will quickly have Les Tuche, then Captain America and Les Bodins with a preview, in the presence of the actors, on February 7, at 7:30 p.m. There will also be the live action of Snow White and we will finish the year with Avatar 3,” he announces.
-The return of seat numbering
On the construction side, the cinema will return to seat numbering. “This will allow people to choose their placement in the room thanks to online reservations. Everyone will be able to organize their tailor-made cinema outing, and the complex will also be able to adapt the size of the rooms according to the attendance for the screening of films,” specifies the director. The cinema employs 19 people, including an apprentice.
