Here is a thing I dont quite understand.
CENTURY 20 PARK PLACE. 5870 E. Broadway, Tucson, AZ, 85711
Will somebody buy me a ticket over the internet for any showing of any film for the Monday,12th at this theatre ?
This is one place that Fandango lists as all shows sold out. This has happened a number of other times too. Only with this particular theatre.
Is Fandango identifying the IP location only for queries concerning this theatre and returning the 'sold out' message. I am here in Bangalore, India and using the internet to try buy tickets of that theatre.
And Fandango never does like this for any other theatre they list.
Somebody to solve this ?
BTW, this theatre has on Monday, 18 movies playing on 98 shows.
Anybody wish to tell me this could be a top grossing theatre and that shows are generally sold out in advance here, then try your luck on my behalf for Thursday,15th or for any other future date, they have shows listed as for sale.

Yeah Adam, isn't it horrible how close it is to San Francisco, without being bogged down by the close quarters of the city itself? Can't stand that...and there are only about 800 movie theatres around to go to...it's especially terrible for sports fans, what with the eight major sports teams within 2 hours' driving distance (Giants, A's, Warriors, Kings, Raiders, 49ers, Sharks, Earthquake). Playoff teams in MLB, NFL, NBA, and MLS plus San Francisco. A sports fan's nightmare, I tell ya.
Adam, you and I really should move, we live in a really crappy area!

Peter, I live in London, and have travelled to see films in, amongst other places, Manchester, Southampton, York, Bradford, and New Jersey. I am flying out on Thursday next week to America, mainly to see shows in two cinemas, one in New York, and one in New Jersey. The last time I was there I spoke to people who had come from Chicago and Canada, and the Widescreen Festival in Bradford has pulled in people from as far away as Australia. If you show something special that's not available elsewhere, and advertise the show, people will travel a considerable distance to see it.

The 'BRAINKEEPER' thread is, I guess, no more nonsensical than the fact that there are lots of 'brainless' films released every week and that there are lots of people, may be even millions, who are fixated on watching these films.
The most that 'BRAINKEEPER' would do is this - such 'brainless' films are here to stay and the Exhibitor community acknowledges their presence. No matter what the critics or the media say in that regard, 'brainless' films will regularly beckon audiences at theatres for the forseeable future. So, rather than for the Exhibitor community to pretend 'detachment' from what is happening, they could openly acknowledge the phenomena and even go as far as to celebrate it. Can't they ? or shouldn't they ? After all, when there is a showing of SCOOBY-DOO 2 at a theatre, what oddity is it for that theater to also feature a BRAINKEEPER for all SCOOBY-DOO shows ?
And I wonder if poor wording or rather, simple wording should not suffice in most threads here ? Anybody doling out marks or credits for carefully worded postings here ? I am sorry, I need none of it.
And I will keep my simple ways and words. They serve me well and that is all that matters.
