Author Topic: Will New Moon's midnight premier beat Half Blood Prince's? Dustin Mitchell Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1865 From: Mondovi, WI, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 12-01-2009 12:05 AM                     My theatre is in a competitive zone; our competition got Ninja Assasin and Sherlock Holmes and we got Blind Side and Invictus. Originally I was a little peeved, thinking Holmes would blow all three of them away, I've decided we got the much better end of the deal though.  |  IP: Logged James Westbrook Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1133 From: Lubbock, Texas, Usa Registered: Mar 2006 posted 12-01-2009 05:01 AM                     In 1986 our film booker told us he let Children of a Lesser God go to a competitor and instead booked us Crocodile Dundee. We said "WHAT?!!!" We later thanked our booker for his wise decision.  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.

With the way ticket prices are rising there will always be new movies that make so much more money then previous ones. How can you compare the popularity of a modern movie to an old classic when all your doing is looking at income? With ticket prices so low years back, there is no way to compare unless you adjust for inflation.  |  IP: Logged Jonathan Althaus Master Film Handler Posts: 435 From: Bedford, TX Registered: Dec 2008 posted 12-01-2009 03:44 PM                     Our holiday bookings.....

We have customers tell us they would rather not go to a movie rather than go to the regal. And when we get films, we're very busy. Plus our new Barco, yet no 3D films yet.  |  IP: Logged Mark J.

Give the movie to everyone and may the best man win.  |  IP: Logged David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 12-02-2009 01:35 PM                        quote: In 1986 our film booker told us he let Children of a Lesser God go to a competitor and instead booked us Crocodile Dundee.
