Michael, the question you asked is fairly country specific. I know you are based in the UK, as i am, though as you posted here you can expect a fairly mixed response as to the amount of Ads&Trailers you run with.Remember that although our equipment and views maybe the same as our film-tech brothers, our customers are entirely different. There is no hard and fast rule about this, it's all down to experience. Even here in the UK a single screen like your's has an entirely different A&T policy than, say, my four plex. Especially as you run a student screen. So, IMHO run what you wan't. make sure your A&T's don't run on for too long, but also make sure there not too short also, in case you have about 30 freshers turn up 15mins in! At the end of the day, there's only one person that knows exactly what to run, and that's you! In time you'll get a feel for it, but don't expect an easy ride, it's called experience and you'll be all the better for it.

IMHO, the best policy would be to let customers know a specific time for when the trailers/ads start, and when the feature starts. Or state in the ads and telephone announcements something like "Published times are for when the pre-show trailers start, and the feature will start exactly 15 minutes later." That way, people who want to see the trailers will come earlier, and those that don't can plan on arriving as the feature starts.I would NOT start "rolling film" before any advertised time. ------------------ John P.
