Who saw that one coming then?
I know Day of The Doctor was a massive success, but wasn't expecting another cinema outing to happen so soon.
Another DW trip to the cinema!

Me too
but I'm definitely not complaining
Don't know whether I'll go and see it or not. If the only cinema in Northern Ireland where it's being shown is the obscenely overpriced Odeon in Victoria Square like it was last time, then probably not.
The only explanation I can come up with is that the show is about to be cancelled
I'm sure the Internet will spin this in to a bad thing. Already a complain that cinema screenings should be for anniversaries only....
I'd say it's also a very good way of generating additional income.
I certainly don't object to it. Doctor Who in the cinema with like minded folk is far and away more preferable to sat at home.
Even the kids sit down and behave for the duration!
People dressed up as Doctor Who characters and whooping and hollering are not like-minded to me, so I think I will give this 'event' a miss.
Did you go to see Day of the Doctor in the cinema? I can say my experience wasn't anything like that.
Well that's a little presumptious.
I didn't dress up. It's not my thing.
Most others at the screening I went to didn't either, apart from the odd doctor jacket and the odd sonic screwdriver noise from one of the kids before it started.
There was no whooping or hollering either. Just appreciation.
Watch out for possible entrapment by the Happiness Patrol, Tom T. ;-)
If it helps with the 'buzz' and people enjoy themselves, I think it's all good stuff. I, however, will be watching intently at home and 'shushing' any of the fam who cause distractions...like usual, in other words.
Seems a waste of time as does the world tour, I would rather the money go into more DW.
Surely if the cinema screenings make a profit that would make more money available to Doctor Who (assuming they don't waste all of the profit elsewhere or the profit ends up in non distributable reserves).
I agree to a point but who wants to pay cinema prices, which will no doubt be more than standard to watch a non-event episode of Doctor Who that you can watch in the comfort of your own home.
....the money hasn't been taken away from DW and would never be put towards the show. It is organised by BBC Worldwide. As is the tour.

Behind the scenes
Q&A with Capaldi - Pre-Recorded (I assume)
And the electric
But seriously, if it's not on 3D, there's nothing to say that I'll be getting out of bed to watch it in the cinema. Mild coughs and whispers behind me, babies crying, the sound of chewing popcorn... Definitely not!
One day you might not even need a TV to catch Doctor Who... just head down to your local cinema every week.
For the same reason I saw Day of The Doctor in the cinema...
..and it didn't involve those crying babies and popcorn chewers.
See you there!
I didn't realise I'd woken up in America all of a sudden.
Oh, no I didn't. And that sort of thing very rarely happens here.
If your local cinema ever has a screening for the Rocky Horror Picture Show, you must go along!
