Author Topic: Snow kills President's weekend John T. Hendrickson, Jr Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 889 From: Freehold, NJ, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 02-17-2003 05:22 PM                     We took a hit on this one in the northeast. Closed Sunday evening and all of today (Monday), taking a big hit on what has become a busy weekend for us. Central NJ has been hit with 21-28 inches of snow. Much the same from Washington to Boston. Hollywood has yet to figure out how to fool mother nature. The outlook for opening tomorrow is up in the air, but it shouldn't make much of a difference. Half of the big wekend is a total loss.  |  IP: Logged Michael Gonzalez Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 790 From: Grand Island , NE USA Registered: Sep 2000 posted 02-17-2003 10:03 PM                     I don't know. I think that if there are movies out there that people want to see, than they will see them eventually.  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA. USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-18-2003 09:17 PM                        I spent Monday afternoon/evening in the booth at a theatre that actually did pretty good business even at the height of the storm. It wasn't a problem there, since most of the customers at that theatre live within walking distance. I love snow and had a great weekend. Especially since I spent most of it shopping for a new (used) car and the dealerships were mostly empty when they should have been packed.  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 02-18-2003 09:30 PM                        Scott: How could you inspect the cars under all that snow?  |  IP: Logged Charles Everett Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: New Jersey Registered: May 2001 posted 02-19-2003 01:50 PM                     3 Regal locations outside Philadelphia picked up Talk to Her when it got Oscar nominations. Those 3 Regals drop it Friday after only one week -- the blizzard killed the turnout. The Regal Warrington Crossing also drops The Guru after only 1 week. And to think I saw Biker Boyz in Manville instead of seeing Talk to Her in Warrington!  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 02-19-2003 02:09 PM                     The snowstorm that buried much of the East Coast has had far reaching impact on many residents and doughnut fans. www.nbc4.tv/irresistible/1990609/detail.html  |  IP: Logged Claude S.
