POP diva Katy Perry hired an entire cinema for a private viewing during her day off in Scotland.

And Perry and her 30 guests ordered s60 worth of popcorn during the cinema trip.

The singer stunned bosses at the Glasgow Film Theatre by booking a late-night viewing of My Week With Marilyn, which isn't even out yet.

Katy's management had earlier pulled strings with the film's distributors to allow her a sneak preview of the movie, which is released in the UK on November 25.

The GFT - famous for screening arty movies and championing Scottish releases - does not sell popcorn, so bosses had to get it from a rival cinema.

Gft staff agreed to do impromptu overtime to accommodate the extraordinary request, which was only made by Katy's management earlier on Wednesday - the day of the screening.

The singer was performing at Glasgow's SECC on Tuesday and last night and is due to play another gig tonight.

A GFT spokesman said: "We have done private screenings loads of times before but never at such short notice. Staff stayed on late and the entourage watched the movie then got on with their night out. I'm not sure if they went out partying or went back to their hotel."

Katy's party left a large tub of popcorn, which was donated to the GFT staff.

On the cinema's Facebook page, bosses posted a photo of the popcorn, saying: "Katy Perry came to GFT last night to watch a film with her friends. We got some popcorn for her. She didn't eat it all. This is the happy result."

My Week Wi! th Maril yn is a British film directed by Simon Curtis and written by Adrian Hodges. It stars Michelle Williams, Kenneth Branagh, Dougray Scott and Judi Dench.
