Tickets for the concert film “One Direction: Where We Are – The Concert Film,” which is coming to the UAE cinemas for just one weekend on October 11 and 12, are already selling like hot cakes. Both young and old Directioners in the UAE are all geared up to watch the concert film recorded in Milan, Italy, on June 28.

Cinema officials say they are “not surprised” at the demand. In the first weekend alone, movie theatres like VOX Cinemas sold 20 per cent of the full allocation of tickets for the two days of screenings. “As of now, we are up to 40 per cent capacity without having done any major promotion apart from announcements on our own social media channels and VOX website,” said Michelle Walsh, Marketing Director of VOX Cinemas. Along with 75 minutes of concert footage, the film will include a 15-minute “never before seen interview with the band cut with exclusive backstage tour footage.”

Walsh added: “We can’t have more dates as globally October 10 and 11 are the only dates that have been approved for a theatrical cinema release, but yes if we see the demand continue to grow we will look to programme some more sessions possibly around the peak viewing times.”

“We will be showing the movie across the 11 VOX Cinemas on at least one of the screens at all sites, on average we show about 5 to 6 sessions of a movie per day on a cinema screen.”

Fans of the boy-band, or ‘Directioners’ in Dubai say they ‘cannot wait’ for the release of the movie. The One Direction concert
