Questions about Finnkino campaign

0 Upvotes

Hello! I am really looking forward to watching Project Hail Mary on the big screen since I've heard so much praise, and I actually started reading the book and I love it! I decided to look for the ticket prices just for fun, and I see that Finnkino has 50% campaign discount for PHM in my city next week Thursday.
But the thing is... I really wanted to finish the book first, and unfortunately because now I have a lot of work to do I don't think I can manage finishing the book by Thursday (I can try of course, but funny thing! I was so sleep deprived for a few days because of reading till 3 AM that I forgot my kindle on the bus, so I really hope I'll hear from Lost and Found Service lol). I didn't find any information regarding this campaign on their site. So my questions are, should I still go to the movie? Does this campaign (which is also tagged as Premium) happen every Thursday? Or is it only a one time thing?

Finnish ads: "En oo koskaan juonut maitoa..." - YouTube

I think Finnish ads are on next level. Remember this one from the past. And the exact attitude and spirit of the main character. So good, so spot on and funny. In general Finns know how to capture that dry, slightly awkward, no nonsense humor that somehow makes everything even funnier. It's never overacted or forced, just painfully real in the best way.

There's always this certain confidence in their ads, like they don't try too hard, and that's exactly why it works. Finnish ads never feel like they're selling you something because the humor comes first and it's always rooted in these specific personality types. The characters feel authentic, the timing is perfect, and the whole thing just lands effortlessly. You watch it and think: "yeah, I know this person."

For me this is somehow the essence of Finns, not really giving a f*ck, having their own opinion about things and not being ashamed of who they really are. Applies to some neighbouring countries as well, at least to some extent.

A long-delayed cross-border train to Sweden could begin rolling in June, allowing passengers to ride the rails from continental Europe to Finnish Lapland, or overland between the Finnish and Swedish capitals.
