Author Topic: Theater Marquees Will Kutler Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1506 From: Tucson, AZ, USA Registered: Feb 2001 posted 06-28-2001 07:20 PM                     Rated PG-13 At my old theater, we recieved a fax from the home office with a picture of a marquee. They attached a nasty-gram stating that if anyone had a marquee that looked like this, then that theaters management would be in trouble! The marquee read: Erin Brockovich Screwed My Dog Skip!  |  IP: Logged Jason Burroughs Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 654 From: Allen, TX Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-28-2001 11:57 PM                     Here's one that happened here in Dallas: Scent of a Woman - Comming Soon  |  IP: Logged Gordon Hedges III Jealous of everyone not me Posts: 212 From: Severn, MD Registered: Apr 2001 posted 06-29-2001 06:42 PM                     RATED PG-13 Here in Maryland, one of our theatres had this on not one but TWO marquees. They didn't know , but it was on the HUGE one facing the road and above the box office.

At the time it was often preceeded by "Josie & The Pussycats".  |  IP: Logged Tom Ferreira Expert Film Handler Posts: 203 From: Conway, NH, USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 07-15-2001 11:23 AM                     I posted this somewhere in here a few years ago, but my favorite was Stop Or My Mom Will Shoot JFK. Of course, it wouldn't fit, so I had to put Mom Will Shoot JFK. I took great pride in that.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 07-15-2001 09:36 PM                      |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 07-20-2001 04:15 PM                      |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 09-07-2001 03:44 AM                     ...and here's a bad business combination!

Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 03-14-2003 09:47 PM                     This one isn't a theater marquee, but a sign for a video store. The curious use of Handel Gothic and its tight letter spacing makes me wonder what kind of movies they offer for rent.  |  IP: Logged Jean-Michel Grin Expert Film Handler Posts: 222 From: Geneva & Lausanne, Switzerland Registered: Jul 2002 posted 03-16-2003 07:00 PM                        For those who understand French; This marquee is In Geneva, Switzerland: The First row is the name of theater; LE PLAZA The second row is the theater's company brand name where I'm working: EUROPLEX CINEMAS And the thrird row is the french title of the movie: "CATCH ME IF YOU CAN" Have you ever seen a theater bulding running to catch a guy ?  |  IP: Logged System Notices Forum Watchdog / Soup Nazi Posts: 215 Registered: Apr 2004 posted 02-23-2008 09:50 AM                 It has been 1804 days since the last post.  |  IP: Logged Jim Cassedy Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1661 From: San Francisco, CA Registered: Dec 2006 posted 02-23-2008 09:50 AM                     It looks like there Definitely Maybe Will Be Blood, perhaps?
