I prefer to say that we all know our audiences, however our content material suppliers actually know their audiences as effectively. We do rely quite a bit on social media from right here, however we’re owned by AMC, Regal, and Cinemark, and we have now pre-approved rights to trailering, film posters, different theater property, workplace handouts, issues like that, within the movie show.
Our analysis tells us, although, that the massive factor that actually drives audiences are the film trailers. And by the way in which, we are the ninth largest distributor in North America proper now behind you the huge guys, Disney, Common, and everyone.
What are you most enthusiastic about that is coming our method?
I am very enthusiastic about our traditional film collection this yr.
We have a really numerous content material, very numerous lineup of content material. We’ve already confirmed the 85th anniversary of “The Wizard of Oz” and the 60th anniversary of “My Honest Girl.” Now we have now the 35th anniversary of “Metal Magnolias” and the 85th anniversary of “Gone With the Wind” and the 85th anniversary of “White Christmas.” “Blazing Saddles,” too, the 50th anniversary.”
Within the religion space, we have an image popping out referred to as “Somebody Like You,” based mostly on Karen Kingsbury’s best-selling novel.
We all the time do a Ghibli fest. We’re persevering with the Metropolitan Opera. We’re wrapping up the season as we get into February, March right here, after which into the summer season. We’ll have summer season encores, as ordinary. There’s one thing for everyone. Within the horror class, we confirmed “Winnie-the-Pooh, Blood and Honey.” We obtained the sequel popping out.
It is enjoyable to have the ability to work on Winnie the Pooh sooner or later and a documentary or Metropolitan Opera the subsequent day. We do about 90 occasions a yr.
