Probably the most frustrating part of this business is booking especially if you are a small fish in the sea.
Since we do not like to post much info. on booking movies (and for good reason), I was wondering if any of you would like to start an email loop where we can discuss booking issues. Things like terms we are charged, guarantees, how we can more easily persuade to get bookings.
Since I come from the video side of the business where I can get anything that want (there are no such things as a Blockbuster exclusive BTW); where I can publicly state that Studio ABC is screwing s over without fear of retribution and still get product (usually from Wal-Mart at a much cost than through traditional distribution); it can be challenging to learn this aspect of business.
If there any takers please contact me at

My target demo is mainstream family stuff, with a secondary target of movies for adults. We do not actively play much that target 15-20 year olds. Seasonal first run but do not believe we are that far off from being full time first-run.
Thanks
Mike
