When we are getting Harry Potter

June 18th, 2007

Not on opening day! Sorry. I’ll be going out of town myself to see it on opening night. Why? Because we are a single screen theater and cannot compete with the multiplexes who can guarantee to the movie company that they will play it every single night for a month. We have to wait for at least two weeks because we have one week’s worth of audience in our small town. If we got a film on opening day we would have a great first week, a really good second week but two really dismal final weeks where the audience would be wanting something new to watch. If we had a second screen we could move the film onto it and open a new movie…but we don’t. So we book the films as soon as we can get them for just one week.

    Thanks for the explanation. Most of us don’t know the complexities of booking films. We just want to see them ;)

    Sure would be nice to have another movie screen. Any chance of that happening sometime in the future?
