Wonder deal to ensure Alice lands in Irish cinemas

A LAST-minute deal finalised on the day of its British premiere ensures that Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland will make it to all Irish cinemas.

Cinema chain, Odeon, announced earlier this week that the blockbuster movie would not be screened in Odeon cinemas in Britain and Ireland with other films taking priority.

That meant that Ireland’s largest cinema chain, UCI, which has about two million customers a year, would not be screening the film.
