How do they report these to the distributers? Is this prevalent in the States?  |  IP: Logged Ian Price Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1714 From: Denver, CO Registered: Jun 99 posted 07-07-2002 05:57 PM                     13.00 British pounds sterling = 19.82 US dollars Exchange rate: 1.524321 Rate valid as of: 7/2/2002 Yes a chain in the United States tried to do this and there is a thread about it somewhere. The studios really hate this idea. I also think it limits your potential gross. We are doing quite well this year and we don't need to try this hard.  |  IP: Logged Ben Wales Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 602 From: Southampton.

It's getting more common these days for the distributors to place a 'no free pass' clause into the booking contract for x number of weeks, in the case of Spidey, it's something ridiculous like 5-6 weeks from opening.  |  IP: Logged
