Hello everyone, looking for insight on how display cases, full size standees, end caps are shipped to movie theatres and what are some reliable installers, merchandisers that can install them. New to this industry thus would love your insight, advice, expertise. What shipping companies to use, avoid, consider. What merchandisers are known for quality installations. Please see image below for a sample standee that Im referring to. Thank you in advance!

I guess there are people who go around putting those things together but I think the majority of movie theaters in this country use their staff to do it during off-times.
As for shipping, the studios usually ship these things out to the chains automatically (I think) and indies have to take the leftovers. In general, the bigger you are, the more stuff you can get. You can contact the exhibitor relations departments at the studios to get shipments. Exception to that rule, sort-of, are Fox and Sony which allow any exhibitor in good standing to order standees off their websites. (foxintheatre.com for Fox, or sonypicturesreleasing.com for Sony). Even there, if the chains snap up all the stock, you're out of luck. None of the studios charge for shipping of standees in my experience.
Your mileage will vary greatly. We are a small outfit, so we haven't ever had a standee from Disney, Universal, Paramount, Lionsgate or Warners, but we occasionally get one from Fox or Sony. The biggest issue we have is size -- our lobby is small and has a low ceiling so we occasionally have to skip putting one up due to space limits.
