Now this might be where you current booker comes from but I have worked for a couple of smaller chains (30ish locations) and their booking department would also book movies for a few different independents. So that may be another option to look into too as I would imagine an advantage would be that they would group you with their chain as far as getting better deals.

That was the situation that I was in.

But I have never seen any concrete examples of any savings in better deals (at least dollars and cents).

What I found was that the studio only cared about where your theater ranked.

There is a thought that booking will be becoming more streamlined to the point that many studios may not have any person to speak with.
