Does anyone know how I can get some VHS previews,as shown in lobbies?National Amusements(Showcase Cinemas)(Multiplex Cinemas)claim that the studios forbid selling or giving them away. I would like to run these in my home theater before a feature.------------------

Frank, did you ask the people at the local theater directly? Surely they'd give one to you after they're done with it. It's no good to them anymore.

Many times, the studios restrict what and who can use their promotional material. Also, they reuse the tapes.Previews are on most every VHS tape I rent now. Could'nt you just copy those onto your own tape after renting?

Frank,Usually, we get previews and other promotions for most of the movies we run on 3/4" U-matic tape. we have to send them back though
