Stroud cinema celebrates biggest week ever, thanks to Barbenheimer

Vue Stroud has reported its biggest week ever, with record-breaking crowds driven by the dual successes of Barbie and Oppenheimer.

The venue is one of 37 across the UK and Ireland that smashed attendance records in a week that also saw Vue break its nationwide record that has stood since the release of Skyfall in 2012.

Toby Bradon, General Manager of Vue UK and Ireland, said: “It has been great to see our venues buzzing for Barbenheimer all week, as we have seen huge demand across the whole country to see both films, with Barbie in particular looking set to become the biggest title of 2023 and could well enter the top ten highest grossing of all time.”
