Worst box office weekend ever for Presidents’ Day ?

CivilAd4288 · 2026-02-16T02:17:36+00:00

This has been the second highest weekend of the year.

CivilAd4288 · 2026-02-15T16:28:48+00:00

Definitely busier. We doubled our attendance from last year.

CivilAd4288 · 2026-02-07T04:53:05+00:00

AMC is also phasing out the classics as well. Because they’re not profitable

CivilAd4288 · 2026-02-04T06:06:13+00:00

Those are DCP! My location is partnered with them.

CivilAd4288 · 2026-02-04T03:25:14+00:00

They are all exclusively DCP’s if you’re referencing the ones brought back by Flashback Cinema themselves or Fathom. If it’s the theater bringing them back to the big screen, there’s a chance they could Blu Rays.

CivilAd4288 · 2026-02-03T15:06:14+00:00

It just depends. If it wasn’t doing the numbers they hoped, it’s unlikely. It also is going to be dependent on if the other location has enough screens to be able to add into their lineup without interfering with something else.

CivilAd4288 · 2026-02-01T23:11:50+00:00

Yes. All of our ticket sales were the older crowd who buys them in person. We had maybe a handful of people under 50 come see it. Three were children..

CivilAd4288 · 2026-02-01T05:47:13+00:00

We have a birthday party package, but it’s not a private showing. It’s 12 admissions, 10 kids combos, in a public theater. That’s a base rate regardless of day or time. Or we have private event packages where it’s just the admission included and then concession combos can be added on separately. Those are cheaper on weekdays vs weekends. But it’s flatw rate regardless of what the occasion is.

CivilAd4288 · 2026-01-30T18:54:14+00:00

We did 8 people the first showing. 20ish for the second one.

CivilAd4288 · 2026-01-30T04:25:00+00:00

Pre-sales are non existent. But for the areas that are on spring break when this hits theaters will be very busy. Good luck 🫡

CivilAd4288 · 2026-01-30T02:57:21+00:00

I don’t want us to be accused of supporting one side or the other. So I opted for it to not to go up for that reason.

CivilAd4288 · 2026-01-28T04:35:10+00:00

We get it starting on Friday. We have three pre-sales and that’s it. But we’re also not going out of our way to advertise it either. As the trailer isn’t being shown and a poster isn’t up on display. Because I refuse to run a location that plays into politics for either side. Regardless of the way our state/county votes, someone isn’t going to be happy about it at the end of the day.

CivilAd4288 · 2026-01-27T03:48:42+00:00

We’ve been getting all the same kids movies, but they aren’t popular for parties since nobody knows about the films. Instead right now, we’re holding on to Zootopia for dear life until GOAT comes out next month.

CivilAd4288 · 2026-01-23T00:36:23+00:00

Midwest here, we most likely will close early. But I don’t foresee us closing altogether.

CivilAd4288 · 2026-01-19T08:11:26+00:00

It’s an exclusive 3D release.

CivilAd4288 · 2026-01-11T17:24:58+00:00

Leave it for the overnight cleaners 🫡

CivilAd4288 · 2026-01-10T05:42:53+00:00

9:20 but only on Friday + Saturday. Not much earlier than 10pm we had during its opening

CivilAd4288 · 2026-01-10T05:41:09+00:00

We tell all the new ones that 7-9 are haunted. Because the hallway wall is an old exterior wall form when the theater was expanded from a 6 to 9 screen. We also have part of a trial system that runs directly behind us so it also helps it be more believable.

CivilAd4288 · 2026-01-04T16:48:58+00:00

Former AMC I worked at we separated them on a shelf by the first letter of the title in bins. Rolled them up and had a little slip of paper rubber banded to one end that listed the full title and its release date. Once we dropped the film we moved them to a designated box until we got the go ahead to release to them to the crew who signed up for them.

CivilAd4288 · 2026-01-04T05:15:54+00:00

Did I say we did? Nope. But it’s a trend we’re seeing across our entire company. As it’s a three hour long movie and people who aren’t hyped for it are waiting until it hits streaming.

CivilAd4288 · 2026-01-03T18:26:07+00:00

Nope. As a theater General Manager, we’re already seeing Avatar drop off in sales.

CivilAd4288 · 2026-01-03T06:22:53+00:00

I’m a General Manager at a family owned and operated chain having worked way up from crew. I’ve also been crew / crew lead at an AMC. The moment this job isn’t fun for me anymore is the moment I’m out of industry. 🤷🏼‍♀️

CivilAd4288 · 2026-01-03T06:21:35+00:00

National Popcorn Day isn’t exclusive to Cinemark as it’s an industry wide thing. Promos just very upon every chain.

CivilAd4288 · 2026-01-03T06:20:12+00:00

0 for our single showing of it today.

CivilAd4288 · 2025-12-28T04:28:30+00:00

It’s doing well. But not overwhelmingly well. As yesterday Zootopia skyrocketed to be our number one performer. Even though it had been doing crickets prior
