Would it cost more to have films here for two weeks? So you have a different film on alternate nights? And swap round for the next week thus keeping the customors happy who have regular nights and at the same time gaining the ones who are only in the town for say a week?

Might be feasible depending on the number of showings specified in the contract with the renter. It might just add to overheads though, without yielding much by way of income. I think they tried something similar in the eary days of the Community Business when the cinema first re-opened, having two films a night, one early, one late, and had to give it up because it wasn't profitable.

No - I meant one week (for example) have

Sunday - Fantastic Four
Monday - Wedding Crashers
Tuesday - Fantastic Four
Wednesday - Wedding Crashers
Thursday - FF
Friday - WC
Saturday FF

next week have

Sunday WC
Monday FF
Tuesday WC
Wednesday FF
Thursday WC
Friday FF
Saturday WC

You see? :wink:

Even though many Campbeltonians have immigrated to other countries I am sure they would donate the $10 a year that Tommy Barbour suggested to help keep the cinema open. I being one of them. Perhaps if the cinema reduced the prices more people would go or do a $1 night once a week, and a free night on the open night of a new film, like Tommy mentioned the sell of sweeties would compensate some. Davie send me some info on who to contact about donations for it and I promise I will do my part here in VB. Pirating is hurting ALL cinemas, however they can turn it around for the better of the town If they choose to!

I'm not involved by any means with the cinema but it is all there already Debi

Went to the picture house site and it says UK Debit/ Credit card in the subscription or donation area of the form. Surely they accept foreign credit cards as well????

Hi Debi.D

This wording is on the NOCHEX site - used by the picture house for online payments. As far as I know the "UK" refers only to the debit card, not the credit card. I agree it's ambiguous and off-putting, but the picture house are merely clients of NOCHEX. At least one credit card donation from outside the UK has been received. Testing this by many is welcome!
