Just how bad will its IM be?I remember one time there was some film about a haunted hotel and then I put on the actuals something like: "On its 2nd week 65% of the guests checked out of the hotel" Is it even possible to lose theaters on week 2? Don't most movies have to stay for 2 weeks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 Yes-but in some cases it is the other way. Indie films a lot of time lose theaters on week 2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riczhang Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I think there are enough films its just that they are scheduled really unbalanced so some months are really strong and some are really weakideally there should be about 140-50 films a year plus an assorted ~30 arthouse releases for Oscar season to actually mimic a year in film. Our target should be about half that, and I don't think we're even getting that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electric Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Theaters are usually forced to keep a film for two weeks. My manager was frustrated with this at AMC once.. .he put the movie SUpercross (2005) in one small theater one time a night in its second week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
