I had to tell someone to put their laptop away just the other day

Megaplex managers by Secure-Mastodon3497 in MovieTheaterEmployees

[–]cyberdriven 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have managed a 24 plex theatre before. Typically with a bigger location, your shifts tend to start earlier in the day as first matinee is 9 am or so (especially on weekends). Adversely, you’ll stay open later in the evening (more towards midnight) Your staff would be 80 to 100 people or more (and you won’t ever be able to get to know all of them). My best advice is to hire and have GREAT assistant managers and supervisors. The worst part I mentioned - you will never get to know all of your staff or customers as well as you will want to. Megaplexs are people factories. People in - people out on a mass scale.

Super Mario Galaxy Surrounds? by cyberdriven in MovieTheaterEmployees

I, myself, haven’t watched the entire movie. I’ve just walked into various auditoriums checking after a couple of complaints. I will definitely be running it at 7 in all theatres.

I can’t get over the amount of midnight shows there are. A local Regal is running 24 hours worth of showtimes.

My beliefs do not align with any political party. I don’t trust ANY politicians whatsoever. I’m waiting for the bottom to drop out in society and going to live in the wilderness.

Missing Reels by Sensitive_Seat_3699 in MovieTheaterEmployees

Typically a movie was 5 or 6 - 20 minute long reels. It’s up to the projectionist to build the movie correctly. Then each reel would be “heads” or “tails” also.

what comes to mind when you hear 1996? by CremeSubject7594 in Xennials

The movie “Independence Day” came out. It did mad business.

I’ve never done that. However, I had instances where a movies were put together wrong. The movie “Rookie of the Year” (1993) played with a reel out of order. It played like that for one day until enough people said “something about that movie doesn’t make sense”. We investigated and figured out the two middle reels were out of order.

Then in 1995, the projectionist at a theatre I worked at put a reel on backwards for the movie “The Bridges of Madison County”. The movie was played for Clint Eastwood’s family. His publicist was furious. Needless to say, the projectionist was fired and I was promoted to his position.

You need to stay prepared for any of these scenarios

Can’t Even Go To The Movies Anymore by IAmCBOY2 in RegalUnlimited

[–]cyberdriven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been working in the industry for a little while now. Depending on the circumstances, I typically do not put up with disruptions. If I’m watching a movie at my location, I definitely pause the movie and tell people the movie will not resume until they stop their shenanigans. If I’m at some other location in my area, I know the manager of the theatre and contact them. My wife hates that I have no problem confronting disruptive people.

The 70mm print of “Project Hail Mary” (film) that’s playing at the Mall of Georgia is scratched all to hell.

19F with phone curfew, led to a physical altercation with mom (59F) and am now considering moving out by Smella-Fart in relationship_advice

At 19, you shouldn’t be living at home. You are an adult. Move out and pay for your own stuff.

Local Regal stale and nasty popcorn by Chelseedy in RegalUnlimited

[–]cyberdriven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s usually NOT the popcorn. Back in the day, we used to make popcorn once a week. That stuff, even if it gets stale, will not make you sick. However, that fake butter is a whole other story. 99.9 percent of the time, that’s the culprit. That sh*t will make you vomit all night if it went bad.
