NORTHWICH's Odeon cinema has exceeded it expected attendance and market share by more than a third, its general manager has revealed.

The cinema first opened just before Christmas in 2016 and the people of Northwich descended on the Odeon over the festive period.

Since then attendance figures have gone from strength to strength.

Andrew Moore, general manager of the Barons Quay Odeon, said: “Odeon Northwich has had a fantastic year so far, exceeding the expected attendance and market share by over a third.

“As more people are aware of the cinema, we are seeing an increase in attendance, which will only improve as the units become occupied.

“The cinema is performing excellently and I am incredibly proud of the beautiful site which offers amazing views of the River Weaver.”

Andrew said he believes the customer service has helped contribute to the cinema’s success.

He also revealed Barons Quay Odeon is the second most highly-rated site in the UK in terms of customer feedback.

He said: “I strongly believe that the reason for the success is the people. We have a wonderful team, recruited locally, who have a connection to the area and a vested interest in seeing the success of the site.

“They endeavour to make everyone feel welcome and ensure that everyone wants to return.

“It is their work that has enabled our success and driven us to be the second most highly rated Odeon site in terms of customer feedback.”
