Lyzsi SinclairJuly 2010 UK cinema film release schedule...
So July is a bit of a funny month release-wise. Rather than a steady stream of releases, it’s mainly about some of the big releases of the year getting enough space at the box office to make a killing. The last Friday of July sees nothing big coming out at all really, in anticipation of August’s releases of things like “Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World”, “Knight And Day”, “The Runaways”, and “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice”. So without further ado, here’s all the releases heading your way in July at cinemas nationwide…
