I doubt individual franchises would contradict corporate policy on this one.
Okay, but what part of the ad contravenes the OFCOM regulations? As far as I'm concerned, cinema ads shouldn't be ported from TV and should be designed for the medium, and of course they'll have different regulations.
I don't really understand the opposition to the ad - I just watched it. It's the Lord's prayer, and there's nothing really objectionable or offensive in the Lord's prayer.

I think it would drive people from the cinema. I watched it on a TV programme about this issue and felt like turning over. Not because it's objectionable, but because it is mind numbingly tedious,it just seems to go on and on and on. There was an ad for scientology that played on the TV earlier this year, utter bollocks, but at least it was entertaining.
