Spring Term 2015

There were two AllNighters this term - the Pyjama Party AllNighter (the mystery film was The Notebook) and a LOTR Extended Edition AllNighter. The society also held its first-ever silent film with live original score (Steamboat Bill Jr.), and screened parody film Dude Bro Party Massacre III for free.

• Most attended

  • Double screening: The Martian (Friday Week 1, 455)
• Least attended
  • Single screening: The Second Mother (Tuesday Week 5, 10)
  • Double screening: Black Mass (Saturday Week 6, 49)

Summer Term 2015

The lack of a field due to university building work meant that the Outdoor Screening could no longer go ahead - instead, the society took over the Big Screen and held the first Big Screening (Shrek). It completely shut down during weeks 6-8, and only held Friday and Saturday films in weeks 5 and 9.

• Most attended
  • Single screening: High-Rise (Tuesday Week 4, 72)
  • Double screening: Deadpool (Friday Week 5, 267)
• Least attended
  • Single screening: Concussion (Tuesday Week 3, 5)
  • Double screening: Joy (Saturday Week 1, 27)

Autumn Term 2015

The term began with three well-attended free screenings of Zootropolis, but struggled because of Socs Fed increases (impacting on society membership throughout the university) paired with an increase in ticket prices, and a poorly-received summer in Hollywood. There was a general AllNighter (the mystery film was Kill Bill Vol. 1), and special screenings were held with Warwick Pride and Warwick For Women International.

• Most attended
  • Single screening: The Conjuring 2 (Friday Week 4, 164)
  • Double screening: Pulp Fiction (Friday Week 5, 256)
• Least attended
  • Single screening: Louder Than Bombs (Monday Week 4, 0)/Demolition (Monday Week 5, 0)/Pete's Dragon (2016) (Tuesday Week 8, 0)
  • Double screening: The Legend of Tarzan (Saturday Week 6, 8)
