Hi,
My theatre is need of some new cell phone trailers. Quite frankly, I'm sick of the ones we have now. It has this extremely annoying music that tells people to keep their feet off the seats, turn off their cell phone and pager, and throw away their trash.

Right now we get ours from a company called Pike Productions.

It would be really nice to have that old drive in trailer called Let's All Go to the Lobby, but I haven't been able to locate them. Does anybody know of any company that makes any kind of trailer like the one I described above?
Thanks in advance!

Let's go to the Lobby is sold by Filmack in Chicago. They advertise occasionally in Boxoffice.

I want an ejection-seat trailer--"this theatre is equipped with ejection seats. anyone caught talking, throwing stuff, kicking seats, or generally being a pest will be immediately ejected from this auditorium" (insert shot of someone being ejected through the roof here)

What Scott said ... boing!

In addition to Filmack (800-345-6225) for the D/I trailer, there's Willming-Reams (San Antonio, www.wronyourscreens.com) and Cinema Concepts (Atlanta, www.cinemaconcepts.com).

I just recieved a whole packet of trailers and available rolling stock from Filmack. Great stuff. They have they type of trailers your looking for.

I ordered my "Dancing Hotdog" (Variety Show Intermission Clock) from them. Pricey, but I had to have it.

A few months back, I saw a short trailer before a screening at the Cameo Cinema in Edinburgh which showed a filmgoer getting increasingly annoyed by various distractions until he brought out a chainsaw, and started "clearing" the cinema himself.

Perhaps that's the approach needed! ;-)

Don't know who made the trailer, though I could find out.

Hey Neil that sounds like me at a few recent trips to the Cinemark Tinseltown 17 and GCC Barton Creek Square 14 in Austin. Both places I ended up sitting next to people that had already seen the Movie and were telling thier buddies about it (Cinemark During Castaway) or talking about so and so had a crush on some guy and constantly giggling about it(Barton Creek). In both instances parents were with the individuals and said nothing. I finally had to say something to both sets of individuals because there parental types would not. Aggrevating as hell. No wonder the World is going to Crap, Parents now a days, for the most part, Do not discipline or teach thier children how to behave in Public.

Filmack is now online www.filmack.com . As well, they now cater to indoor theatres and may have the policy trailer you need. Another great looking site in case you still haven't seen it, check out what our own Tim Reed is doing at www.screenattractions.com .

One of the old Cinemark "Front Row Joe" trailers has a part where Clyde says, "I talk all through the movie..." and then the seat he's sitting in folds up and eats him.

There's another one where the ushers, who look like giant bulldogs grab him and pound him into the ground.

I want Front Row Joe back!
I don't know if Penny will come back after becomming a big movie star and all. Yes, REALLY! She was in Dude, Where's My Car? I'm not kidding! She was in that movie!

They should have made the theater scene in "Scary Movie" into a policy trailer!
