“It is the busiest week of the year, while the summer period is normally the quietest time,” says film programmer Roos Schilling of the Louis Hartlooper Complex in Utrecht. “We have a record turnover since corona. I have never experienced a situation like this.” According to Schilling, the buzz is due to the combination of Barbie and Oppenheimer, two popular films that have recently been released. “Usually movies compete with each other, but now it’s become one thing to see them both.” The rainy weather this week also ensures that people go to the cinema at the Ledig Erf.
