We're bound to get a lot of questions this weekend about why, oh why we aren't playing "Bee Movie" which opens this Friday. (We're playing "Mr. Woodcock" and "The Kingdom" instead.)
Well, we fully planned on playing "Bee Movie," but our booker reports that Paramount is not taking very many smaller, single-screen bookings for the film. That means one of two things:
1. They couldn't find enough small situations to make it worth going into any of them
or
2. The movie isn't going to be as huge as they thought.
Or possibly a combination of both. Personally, being a Jerry Seinfeld fan (he wrote, produced and plays the main character), I'm looking forward to this movie. We'll probably play it either Nov. 16 or sometime in early December.
Also for those keeping score: Disney's "Enchanted" is booked to open on Wednesday, Nov. 21 for the Thanksgiving weekend. I think that one will stick.
In which I hope to talk about movies, the movie business, and the theatre industry as seen through the eyes of a single-screen theatre operator. Plus other stuff I can't think of now, but hope to.
