From Behind The ScreenCAROL M. JOHNSON Executive Director
Friends,
You – our wonderful and adventuresome audiences – often ask how we decide on first-run films. We thought you might enjoy an inside look at some of the factors Amherst Cinema considers when we book new releases.
• Film release schedules. Film distributors (not theaters!) decide on release dates forfilms. Summertime and end-of-year holidays are among the busiest times of the year fordistributors to release their biggest films. Sometimes there is a pile-up of worthy selectionsall at once and we must limit runs of some films to make room for others coming our way.
• Films and show times change on Fridays. Cinemas throughout the U.S. make decisions on Mondays aboutthe films that will be showing on the next Friday, four days later! Unlike live theater and music perfor-mance venues that schedule programs months and years ahead, we have only a few days’ lead time tosettle on films and screening times.
• Major releases and small jewels. As we think you know, we are committed to presenting works that meeta standard of excellence. Some films are very popular with audiences and sell many tickets. Films that arewell-attended can usually stay for extended periods. Some of the most exquisite, critically acclaimed filmsappeal to a limited audience, though, so we can give them only a short run.
• Ticket sales. The number of tickets sold at our cinema during the previous weekend and ticket sales forthe same film at others cinemas around the country help us decide the length of a film’s run. The best wayto support a film’s run is by seeing it on opening weekend.
• Contracts. To book certain films, we may be required by the film distributors to show the film severaltimes a day, for a minimum number of weeks.
• Mix of films. You are a sophisticated and curious audience, with wide-ranging interests. Because of that,we work hard to offer a mix of films at any given time. We have our antenna out for a wide selection ofsubject matter, directors, genres, etc.
• Award-winning / notable films. We know how important first-ratefilms are – both to you as cinema-goers, and to us in fulfilling our mission to offer you films that matter. We are proud that our filmexperts often secure important films far in advance of when they arefeted on the awards circuit. For example, we began showing MOON-LIGHT more than a month in advance of its being nominated for (andwinning!) the Best Picture Oscar® .
When you buy a ticket, 50% goes to pay the distributor for rights to screen the program here. The other half goes toward the remainder of our costs (our welcoming staff, state-of-the-art projection and sound equipment, utilities, building maintenance, etc.) – but ticket sales cover only part of what we need to do our work. By contrast, Amherst Cinema retains 100% of Membership dollars and donations – these are funds we use for our programs and operations. That is why Memberships and donations are so important.
When you join as a Member or make a donation, you support artistic freedom! Your support in these ways gives us critically important financial stability and means we can make programming choices independent of any political persuasion or point of view. At Amherst Cinema, we make our own choices – there is no commer-cial owner directing which films we book.
Your Memberships and donations make it possible for us to be a truly independent cinema. THANK YOU!
You’ll get free popcorn, ticket discounts, and the chance to win free movies, too. But most of all, you’ll get the satisfaction of knowing you’ve played an important role in keeping the film arts flourishing in the Pioneer Valley. We’re here 365 days a year for you. We appreciate our Members being here for us!
Please do your part to help us reach our 2017 Summer Membership goal. Together, we can do great things.
