Theaters

Or books in general, I mean every movie that comes out I look it up and it says "based on the book" but now children’s books especially like Ramona & Beezus just went into theatres and now I just found out Judy Moody is going to be made into a movie….what’s next Junie B. Jones??

Because Hollywood is a copycat industry. If something makes money, Hollywood rides it until they run it into the ground.

The last one I saw was Avatar. How many months ago was that?

I think before that it was The Lion king-just kidding.

We don’t go to the movies often, once every 4-6 months. It’s not that I don’t want to go to the movies, I LOVE movie theater popcorn! It’s just that my husband is CHEAP and would rather wait until the movie is out on Redbox.

How often do you go to the movies?

The last movie was Alpha and Omega 3D for the kiddos. The movie before that was Toy Story 3. I go for the kids more than I go for myself. This weekend we are going to the drive-in to see The Social Network, Life As We Know It and a third which hasn’t been updated yet. I would say we go once a month, maybe once every two months depending on what’s in. Personally, I’d rather watch a movie in the comfort of my own home. My husbands the theatre person in the family. =)

There is a movie I want to see, Catfish. But it is only in limited theaters, and it won’t be playing in any theaters around me. Will it still come out on dvd & be available pretty much everywhere?

Eventually, it will be available, though you may have to order it, like from Amazon, or BestBuy. I do that all the time when classics are released on DVD/Blu-ray.

I need to know where and when childrens’ theatre started. Or any information about very old childrens’ theatre. European, Asian, anything.

Websites would help.

Nashville Children’s Theatre is said to be the oldest professional children’s theatre in the United States:

Hope that gets you started.

I’ve only gone to movie theaters at night and late-night for new releases and they are PACKED! I was wondering…if anyone has gone to a new release movie at 11am noon-ish, is it packed as it would be at night?

Yes.

Whenever there is a big release they will always be packed.

Im just guessing this song dates early 2000. Its a techno song. However the uniqueness about the song is it starts with the THX sound system the plays right before most movies start in the theaters. Thats all i can remember any help would be great. Thanks!

The THX sound is called "Deep Note".

Here’s the wiki that shows what music it’s been used in.

Since you’re looking for a techno song, my guess is it’s the Mega Lo Mania mix of Mylene Farmer’s song "California". I found one version of it on youtube.

I saw it last week and I really want to see it again, but im not sure when ill see it. How long will Inception be in theaters considering it seems to be a hit?

Depends how long you want it to be. It’s your dream.

I want to see if there are any theaters showing horror movies for Halloween. I’m hoping there are some near the Riverside area of Southern California, but anywhere in So Cal would be cool. Is there a site I can go to? Thanks!

there use to be a theater in redlands that showed "sick and twisted festival" that place isnt there but you can contact older movie theater in ontario, or the drive in (riverside) for midnight showings.. some do that ..or check the entertainment magizine for the I. E……look up midnight movie showings in riverside ca..google is amazing!!!!!

I was reading about how movie theaters make so much off of the ticket sales, and I was wondering if this is due to some sort of rental fee covering cost. I heard that the movie theaters have to rent the movies it plays n the theaters, and it costs them thousands in rentals per movie theater. I thought the movie theaters profit was purely concession.

Theatre profit isn’t PURELY concessions, but its a huge chunk. We have to pay a percentage of ticket sales to the film companies. I’ve seen it as high as 80% (for the first week of Spiderman 2) That means that when you pay your $10, we only got $2. A full house of 200 tickets sold LOOKS LIKE $2000 dollars that we made, but we only got $200. Typically, its around 60-65% for the first week of a movie, then it goes down a bit each week after that.

My fiance and I would like to have our wedding ceremony in a movie theater in Las Vegas, NV. It’s great for seating, plus our theme is along those lines. Is there anywhere we could rent out the space for 2-4 hours and not watch a movie? Maybe as a bonus put a picture of us on the screen?

Yes, absolutely, you can. Often movie theaters rent out theaters for meetings, conferences and private screenings. Contact a theater you like and see what they can do for you. And have a read of this article with helpful info:
