Author Topic: Anyone work for Carmike theatres? Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-21-2005 01:28 PM                        quote: Allison Parsons I'm not sure if Carmike has ever bought out a theater chain before, but what do you think are the chances that they would come in and fire all the exsisting managers at GKC and bring in their own? When Carmike bought the Excellence Theatres chain, they canned a fella named Lanny Wagner, who was one of the best movie men I've ever known. He was a city manager in Billings and really knew the value of showmanship. I just saw him last summer (he stopped by my theatre when passing through town) and after almost 20 years, he still misses the business. (He's now retired.)  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 04-21-2005 02:45 PM                     Shoot Mike, I remember Lanny Wagner - Hellva guy! Met him as well when he'd pass through our Excellence locations in Idaho as a representative for "proper" advertising in the newspapers. He had Billings well under control. (now, I just can't remember the theatres in Billings, but I do remember the downtown house was the most popular-a single screener....) -Monte  |  IP: Logged Joshua Waaland Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 800 From: Cleveland, Ohio Registered: Dec 1999 posted 08-24-2005 12:26 AM                     Update......I was told that the Sandusky Carmike is now building a completely new building. A construction company said that the costs to retrofit the old theater to stadium seating was too much. Also seems Carmike doesn't like the theater management too well. The have decided to just abandon the building since it is on mall property.  |  IP: Logged
