Author Topic: How many people work at your theatre? Matt Fields Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 545 From: Ohio, United States Registered: Jun 2005 posted 09-19-2005 07:07 PM                     Just like the title says, how many people work at your theatre? There are seven, including myself, at my place. The most at any theatre I've ever worked at was around 25-30. That was at a second run 8 screen. I've always wondered how many people work at the huge 18, 24, or 30 plexs and if its hard to keep these places organized (scheduling employees, ect.)  |  IP: Logged Andrew McCrea Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 645 From: Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada Registered: Nov 2000 posted 09-19-2005 07:26 PM                        My first theatre, a 3-plex art house staffed 8 plus two managers. My second theatre, a single screen drive-in staffed about 30 in my first season and 20 in my second season, plus two managers and a projectionist/semi-manager. My third theatre, a 14-plex, staffs almost 200 with managers included.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-19-2005 08:54 PM                        1 owner/manager/projectionist/bookkeeper/troubleshooter 1 ticket seller (wife of the above) 1 assistant manager on call 5 concession staff 2 janitorial staff We have 2 other people on call who will run the booth when we want to take the occasional out of town trip. They don't work for pay, they just get free tickets when they help us out.  |  IP: Logged Kurt Zupin Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 989 From: Maricopa, Arizona Registered: Oct 2004 posted 09-19-2005 10:47 PM                     5 screen 11 Staffers 1 MGR 1 Ast.

"About half."  |  IP: Logged Dieter Depypere Master Film Handler Posts: 343 From: Deutsch-Wagram, Lower Austria, Austria Registered: May 2005 posted 09-20-2005 04:39 AM                     1 manager/billeteur 1 ticket seller/concession staff (+1 additional and they do janitorial stuff too) 2 projectionists (taking turns so every day only one shows up)  |  IP: Logged
