Films To Flick Around The Clock At Showcase
BY ANTONY HOPKER

Silver screens in Coventry could be showing movies around the clock after a cinema won permission to open 24 hours.

The Showcase cinema in Gielgud Way, Walsgrave has been given a licence to show films continuously.

The application was made after a successful experiment last year when Star Wars: the Phantom menace was released.

Bosses at the cinema put extra showings on round-the-clock to cope with demand for the eagerly awaited film.

The city council’s Licensing Panel was told that the 24-hour facility would only be used to cope with a similar demand in the future.

Councillors agreed to allow the new licence, but on the recommendation of the police, limited it to six months in the first instance, in case there were any problems.
