Author Topic: How Slow do Weekdays Get? John T. Hendrickson, Jr Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 889 From: Freehold, NJ, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 10-19-2005 05:08 PM                     Personally, I don't find anything wrong with Richard's title on this thread. Most of us know he is a respected member and theater owner, and can figure out what he is refering to. Richard, I'd like to give you information, but our owners are picky about my posting particular numbers. Suffice it to say that Monday nights have been very slow lately.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-19-2005 05:51 PM                        We've been fairly slow lately on the weeknights, but nothing out of the ordinary for this time of year. Everyone is too busy with school events. In the past couple of weeks alone, we've had to compete with 2 football games, 4 volleyball games, a "Mexican dinner theater," a choir concert and a drama-club play. I expect things to pick up in a big way on Nov. 4.  |  IP: Logged Jarryd Beard Expert Film Handler Posts: 229 From: Hellertown, PA Registered: Jul 2004 posted 10-19-2005 07:04 PM                     Even though it's number one nationally, The Fog is doing no business at our theatre. Last night's gross for that film was ZERO . Elizabethtown and Waiting are our two best. Waiting's doing no business nationally, but we're in a college town.  |  IP: Logged Eric Hooper Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 532 From: Fort Worth, TX, USA Registered: May 2003 posted 10-27-2005 02:18 PM                     I saw Resident Evil 2 on the 2nd Wednesday of release at the 1200-seat Coronet Theatre in San Francisco (now closed), and there were only 5 admits at this 7:00pm show (which is why the theatre is closed now I guess).  |  IP: Logged Joseph Pandolfi Expert Film Handler Posts: 213 From: Milford, CT.
