Welcome to BigScreenBiz.com

can you tell who i go to to be able to show films in a cinema abroad, i guess we are unable to just rent and show, there has to be some fee we pay, who do I contact and how expensive are these fees ?

As you will start to notice, and hear time and time again, is the fact that this business is very hard to succeed in.

Read further back to old posts and you will quickly learn about house allowances, percentages, etc.

"Would you like fries with that?"

hi thanks for you reply, I'm not concerned about failing I never do. But I am not sure where to go to see previous posts.

Are you just able to give me the answer here, where do I go to hire the films...straight to warner bros

thanks

First of all, you are in the wrong forum. To get better exposure I would suggest either THE LOBBY or THE BACK OFFICE. This forum is for design related topics having to do with the physical layout of theatres and their components.

You really should hire a booker to get started, and then as you learn the business you can decide whether you want to assume that responsibility yourself.

Here's a link to Distributor Contact Information:

Heed the advice to get some experience in the movie industry before you invest large amounts of money.

hi there thanks for your advice, i will not actually be running the show but doing the ground work, so please don't take my response the wrong way. I will be hiring someone with experience and am the only cinema in the city of the continent I am setting up in.
Thanks for the advise and the direction to the right forum.
