You cant polish a turd no matter how hard you try, and thats all that Sept and October had to offer. I'm glad to be out. I booked nothing but concerts for the two months after studying the schedule back in July/Aug. The only surprise I have seen is the Gameplan which did better than I expected. Cant say I make money doing concerts but its better than coming in every evening to an empty theater. I cant wait for holidays either, I think the lineup is looking very good for this season.

Weak product and a very disinterested movie going public. It was a very smart move on Disney's part to release Game Plan right in the middle of this black hole.

I think there's just too much good stuff to do! Michael Hurley Impresario

BurneyFalls OFFLINE Platinum Boarder Posts: 1339 Karma: 0	Leeler is right in saying even a halfway decent week would be awesome. My numbers were up considerably this week with The Brave One and 3:10 to Yuma, but they are still quite horrible. Nevertheless, I was pleased. Maybe families will come out next week for The Game Plan.
