But the good thing is that people ignored the comments to do nothing and emailed sky and look more locations!

I doubt it would happen that quickly - more likely that Sky forgot to add the other locations before making this booking live.
But no harm in trying to lobby for more locations for future previews, it's nice when we can all discuss the same films from up and down the country.

Preferred cinemas:
Vue West End, Cineworld Haymarket, Odeon West End, Odeon Leicester Square, Empire Leicester Square, Cineworld O2, Cineworld Shaftesbury Avenue and Odeon Panton Street, followed by anywhere in central(ish) London.

Sorry if I'm going off topic ...
Look at the name of this Forum - "Free" Movies UK.
What's 'free' about having to hold a Sky Movies subscription for screenings? What's 'free' about having to hold a Times+ subscription for screenings? I'm surprised there aren't more objections to the ever increasing number of screenings that have strings (i.e. £ signs) attached.
It also irks me when reference is made to 'Sky Customers'. I p*y a small fortune each month to Sky, but as a so called 'customer' I'm excluded from screenings as 99% of them are for movies subscribers.
I'm seeing a serious decline in the number of no-strings screenings these days.
And I'm guessing it's going to get worse. Any views?

I think most people realise they are not free, tbh, all the way down to payment of tv licence. Suckers we aint.
free streaming rules, mind you... £100 million dollar movies for nothing at all

fav 5 films of the year - Tenet, Bill n Ted 3, Invisible Man, JoJo Rabbit, ?

Actually, concerning Sky, you do not necessary have to be a Sky customer to access a free screening; each Sky Movies customer can create several extra accounts for friends and family so they can enjoy the Sky screenings.
(I am not a Sky customer, nor do I p*y a TV license, so for me those screenings are indeed free)

As I said earlier, the point of getting a subscription to Sky or The Times is for Sky or the paper, it's not for the screenings or any perks. If you're p*ying subscriptions for the perks, then you obviously have far too much money

. If Sky or The Times didn't do free movies would you stop subscribing?
