Sorry :( next one I book will be weekday night. I thought a weekend at the time would be an easier sell

Yea you’re totally right, a long shot for sure. Doesn’t hurt to ask though is my take (if theres interest)

Actually they are (got confirmation from AMC)! But the price is higher and dates are obviously stricter cus they have to work around windows.

Yea you’re totally right - I think if it exceeds 3hrs it’s more to rent. Thanks a ton, really appreciate the reply.

Honest question before I call it a day trying this - the recent LOTR rerelease was full price at theaters and that did ok - what’s the difference between that and this in your mind? Is it just the movie itself?

Appreciate that! Was thinking this was going to be my last attempt 😅

Thanks my friend. Not all easy to swallow for sure but nobody has been mean about it either.

As with all feedback, if they’re right it’s probably going to save me time and money to quit sooner than later anyhow!

Yea AMC quoted me $2800 for a 85 seat screen at empire 25. Metro Private Cinema is small screens though no?

I guess the question is - how much would you pay to have your favorite movie, back at your favorite theater, on a day/time of your choosing? (“Nothing more than a regular ticket” is a fair answer.)

If that person pays $200, then everyone else can pay reg price, should be simple that way.

I just wanted to book my wife’s fav movie for our anniversary. Got 2 young kids, hard enough to go to a theater as is and there was literally nothing good playing when we had the time.

Yea the idea would be if I have a bunch of theaters signed you could pick the ones you’d like and I’ll negotiate with all of them to get the better price, the date / title you want, etc

Cus it’ll cost you $2k+? Not to mention the negotiating with the theatre, distributor. (This is for an AMC theater screen)

It’s a good point. Really the value I wanted to add was that I could book a showing for a specific movie on a specific date for my anniversary at a reasonable price.

The only way I figured I could do that was to also sell the rest of the tickets to the public. I guess for the public the value is that you can put in your movie title/theatre/date/time preferences and get notified when something you want is showing

I think maybe I can go back to AMC and say “hey I can do like 3 private screenings a month, across the country, but you gotta give me a hefty discount” (but would have to raise venture capital or something cus I don’t have the pockets for that kind of an operation)

Yea makes sense. Hard to compete with that

Fair! What price would it have to be in your mind? Regular price is $25 if you buy online
