Either, but vinyl is nice.  |  IP: Logged Gary Davidson Expert Film Handler Posts: 101 From: Santa Monica, CA Registered: Jan 2004 posted 02-07-2006 03:58 PM                     Of all the studios, which is generally the best in supplying standees and trailers?  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-07-2006 06:52 PM                        Fox, no contest. Although I am saying this as an indie who does not receive automatic shipments of tons of that stuff. A bigger theatre's mileage may vary.  |  IP: Logged Barry Floyd Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1079 From: Lebanon, Tennessee, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 02-08-2006 09:42 AM                        I agree with Mike, Fox makes it VERY easy to promote their films, especially for us independant exhibitors. If the other studios would make it as easy as Fox does, I might promote alot more of their films. Disney's not bad, but you have to call at the right time or you miss out on all of the good stuff. Being a drive-in, which attracts lots of families with young kids, the "promotional kits" with buttons, mini posters, braclets, coloring books, etc. goes over great with our crowds. On a busy sell-out night, I'll take my "box of goodies" out in the field, and walk car to car, mini van to mini van and hand out the stuff to the families. Giving out "Free Stuff" to familes with kids goes a long way in both promoting the film and promoting your theatre. When the first "Garfield" movie came out in 2004, Fox sent us a huge 9 foot tall inflatable "Garfield". We put it out in our lobby, and we had people lined up with digital cameras taking pictures of their kids next to Garfield. Good thing I saved that inflatable, as Garfield 2 comes out later this year!  |  IP: Logged Matt Fields Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 545 From: Ohio, United States Registered: Jun 2005 posted 02-08-2006 10:11 AM                     I've still got my Garfield inflatable too...had several people offer a lot of money for it as well.  |  IP: Logged Allison Parsons Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 630 From: East Peoria, IL Registered: Oct 2004 posted 02-10-2006 01:30 AM                        Is there a Sony Pictures Classics exhibitor web site? Someone ripped off our Capote poster today and we need another one.  |  IP: Logged
