New Years Eve and Day can be surprisingly busy, even the late show on New Years Eve. Not everyone likes to party.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-10-2004 06:04 PM                        We run our regular schedule on all days, except we are always closed Christmas Eve. We generally just run matinees on Saturday.  |  IP: Logged Brian Jupp Film Handler Posts: 22 From: Victoria, BC, Canada Registered: Nov 2004 posted 11-10-2004 07:48 PM                        Christmas Eve - mats only Christmas Day - closed all day New Year's Eve - no 9pm shows I'm sure we'd make a ton of money on Christmas Day, but the owner likes to give everyone the chance to be with their families. I definitely appreciate it.  |  IP: Logged Dustin Mitchell Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1865 From: Mondovi, WI, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 11-10-2004 10:16 PM                     Not necessarily, depends on the films out. Even with Return of the King we weren't all that busy last year.  |  IP: Logged Jason Black Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1723 From: Myrtle Beach, SC, USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 11-11-2004 11:04 AM                        Typically, the New Years Day and the Saturday after Christmas are two of the busiest days of the year in our market. It is not uncommon to surpass 12/25 receipts on 1/1. I don't understand why, unless folks are beginning to stay home with family... which is a good thing. Your milage may vary, but it sure is nice to have that extra little time to spend with my own family. I'm of the opinion that on 12/24 you drop the last show of the night, and on 12/15 you drop the first set, with the first shows onscreen at 4pm. Dustin, did you have to read Monday Morning Customer Service recently?  |  IP: Logged Brad Allen Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 688 From: Evansville, IN, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 11-11-2004 12:14 PM                     Closed Xmas eve.
