Author Topic: Flyer handout for Day After Tomorrow Nate Lehrke Master Film Handler Posts: 396 From: Denver, CO Registered: Oct 2002 posted 05-30-2004 11:10 PM                     At a sold out DAY AFTER TOMORROW show, I noticed the patrons exiting holding flyers. I got a hold of one and if was about global warming and ways you can stop it. I found the individuals handing them out and escorted them of the building. The next couple shows, they were out front handing them out. Sure enough they were back again today and tried the same thing. They stayed outside this time. Last time I had this happen was for BLACK HAWK DOWN. Anyone else having this happen to them?  |  IP: Logged David Favel Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 764 From: Ashburton, New Zealand Registered: Feb 2002 posted 05-30-2004 11:24 PM                     Only for The Passion.  |  IP: Logged Emma Tomiak Expert Film Handler Posts: 238 From: Carrollton, TX, USA Registered: Aug 2003 posted 05-31-2004 02:12 AM                        No problems of that sort here, but we were warned about such a situation happening here.  |  IP: Logged Chris Medley Expert Film Handler Posts: 180 From: McKinney, TX, USA Registered: Jan 2004 posted 05-31-2004 02:41 AM                        Yeah we have found a few...but i think the people that are giving them out are being sneaky...if I had a scanner I would upload it becasue it is some funny funny stuff...gotta love moveon.org  |  IP: Logged Angel Suarez Film Handler Posts: 7 From: Miami, FL, USA Registered: May 2004 posted 05-31-2004 05:10 AM                    I had these at my theatre, in fact my theatre was listed on their "to visit" theatres. I actually even received an e-mail from corporate informining this would happen. I just kinda hate that we have to pick up after them. Damn flyers!  |  IP: Logged Dean Kollet Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 591 From: Florida State University Registered: Jul 2003 posted 05-31-2004 10:00 PM                     heard about it, haven't seen it here...  |  IP: Logged John Carpenter Film Handler Posts: 96 From: Fort Walton Beach, FL, USA Registered: Nov 2002 posted 05-31-2004 10:35 PM                     We got them too, but here they just flyered the parking lot with them. And we werent even on the list of places they were planning to "hit"?  |  IP: Logged Rob Butler Film Handler Posts: 91 From: Westford, MA, USA Registered: Mar 2004 posted 06-01-2004 11:55 AM                     I remember going out to my car once when I was leaving the mall only to find one of my windshield wipers snapped off and a flyer for some baby sitting service tucked under the other one.  |  IP: Logged Jesse Skeen Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1517 From: Sacramento, CA Registered: Aug 2000 posted 06-01-2004 01:36 PM                     Back when I went to see "Wargames" on the way out I got a flyer claiming that some of the things in the movie could really happen. I thought it was interesting, do theatre owners frown upon this sort of thing? In the 10 years I worked at various theatres I never saw this sort of thing again, though when "Patch Adams" opened there was a lady in the lobby handing out flyers about the real organization in the movie, she had prior permission to be there.  |  IP: Logged
