Author Topic: How much does theaters get paid for running adds? Tony Ratcliff Expert Film Handler Posts: 216 From: Madison, IN, USA Registered: Mar 2002 posted 09-25-2003 10:38 AM                     Bill, Those are amazing numbers for a single screen! May I ask what theatre it is? Are you first run? And what are the demographics of your customers, your advertisers and the neighborhood? I have an historic theatre ( 2 screens ) and have been also considering screen ads. I am just trying to scale your theatre to mine to see what I might be able to expect in number and type of advertisers and what price I could charge.

Given that the bulbs go for about 12 dollars and they last a week or so, and there is time spent marketing, drawing and having the slide imaged. The key is to have in excess of 20 to 25 all the time. It takes some work but is worth it. lance If youa re burning up bulbs once a week then you may want to look into the bulb settings on your slide projectors or get new ones. We used to use Osram/sylvania EXY 250w bulbs in telex slide projectors. They cost us about $9 each and would last for 2 months and maybe more. I never paid attention to one bulb, I'm just going by how fast the spare bulbs were used up.  |  IP: Logged David Favel Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 764 From: Ashburton, New Zealand Registered: Feb 2002 posted 10-04-2003 05:14 AM                     Instead of slides I,m putting in a Panasonic Projector hooked up to a server that stores slide ads. Also can play DVD,s & hook up the X Box. Halo in 5.1 rocks  |  IP: Logged
