Be sure to plan early for the opening of the new live-action Transformers movie on the coveted July 4 2007 weekend. Steven Spielberg, Dreamworks, Paramount, and Hasbro are behind it big time and it has a $150M budget, so you can bet it will be advertised like crazy. I would encourage a 12:01am showing- the Transformers have made a comeback to children over the past few years, so the movie is sure to cover a very wide age range.

The teaser trailer is great:

A lot of tough choices for all the single screen operators.

I agree with you Sevstar. The movie studios need to space their movies better, especially in May. It's going to be very hard for some of those movies to perform very well, especially if they have to compete so closely with each other.

I'm not familiar with Ratatouille. I'm not going to expect much out of Ocean's 13. When we showed Ocean's 12, it did very poorly and most people said it was hard to follow. At least that's an easy decision for the busy summer

They are slitting their own throats. Now might be a good time to add that second screen with a new blockbuster coming out virtually every week during those months.
