Mike:

One of the most common questions that small town theater operators get is "can we use a movie for a fund raiser?"
The problem, of course, is the film cost/percentage.

I see that you are running The Wizard of Oz (1939) Sing A Long and the Sound of Music Sing A Long for fund raisers this month and next at one of your locations.

Are the features a flat fee? Or do the studios require a cut of the donations?

How did you talk Warners and Fox into this? You are The Man!

BusyBee OFFLINE Expert Boarder Posts: 106 Thank you received: 3 Karma: 2	We rented the 35mm version of Oz 3 or 4 years ago for a fundraiser for a community group. We paid $250 flat at the time. We booked it through our booker and it wasn't much trouble. We've done several fundraisers, sometimes they'll want $250 vs 35%, which I think is reasonable.
