Justin Bieber fans have come together through social media to demand a UK screening of his new film Believe, which lands in the US on Christmas day.

Now, following over 5,000 tweets and 2,000 emails, Vue Entertainment will screen it exclusively from Boxing day at all its sites including Vue Plymouth, for one week only. Tickets are available now on site and from www.myvue.com.

Since tickets went on sale this week, thousands were sold in the first hour – around one every second. What’s more, the Vue Twitter account received over 15,000 Bieber-related posts as well as a retweet from the man himself which caused the hashtag #BelieveInVue to trend across the UK, Europe, North America and Asia.

Following the US film release announcement and with no planned UK screenings, Bieber fans up anddown the country harnessed the power of social media, to voice their demand to see the feature-length documentary on the big screen. Tweets include…

The Canadian pop musician, actor and singer-songwriter, has over 47 million followers on Twitter and was named by Forbes magazine in 2012, as the third-most powerful celebrity in the world. His new documentary film Believe will provide his fans, otherwise known as ‘Beliebers’, with a backstage and on-stage look at his rise to super stardom.

Neil Sykes, Vue Plymouth General Manager said: “The response from Justin Bieber fans up and down the country wanting to see the film has been overwhelming, so we are thrilled to be able to satisfy the demand of local fans here in Plymouth. We expect our state-of-the-art audio-visual technology, fully-digital screens and comfortable stadium-style seating, to provide fans with an unrivalled gig-like viewing experience.

“Vue is the only cinema in the country to show Believe and it goes to show how powerful social media can really be - not to mention the power of the ‘Beliebers’!”
