Who decides to show a film in the cinema or not?!


Question:

Who decides to show a film in the cinema or not?


Answers:

The production company decides to sell it to cinemas, then they sell it on to cinemas individually. Mainly they aim for cinema corporations; such as Showcase Cinemas or ODEON.

The earlier it comes out the more a cinema has to pay if they order it.

The longer they wait for the film to purchase, the less the cinema will have to pay if the decide to buy it.

A cinema can decide to show it at ANY TIME - it all has to do with accounting and contracts. Thats why when you go to the cinemas they always want to show it first with advanced screenings. BUT there are hefty amounts of rules they have to follow. One of them is to not sell it on to other cinemas. They have to get permission from the production company or show it.

E.g. The film titanic - they can show that at ANY time if they still have it.

I hope that explains it and you understood well.
