As you know, the booking and scheduling of movies is an inexacting science. It is part data deciphering, part history and tradition, part availability of creative product, and part darts. The dart part is the hard part. Some say that thirty years of movie business experience gives one the hunch edge, as in ‘All else failing, bet on star power’, or, ‘Our demographic don’t do Zombies’. Or even, ‘It debuted at 20 million and a 7.0 at IMDb’. You catch the drift? I went to bat years ago wanting to pinch hit for our traditional methodology of film selection and won a few battles. You will recall BOYS IN THE BOAT, OPPENHEIMER, KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON AND DUNE TWO as examples of tentpole blockbusters that I managed to convince the coach that if the count when to 3-0 I could take a rip if I liked the looks of a plump fastball down the middle and belt high. There is some trust involved, but still, the characteristic I feel is most important in this critical area is confidence. My confidence in you, our regulars, the core demographic responsible for keeping our lights on and floors clean. Brad Pitt in F1 and Danny Boyle’s 28 YEARS LATER. Caveat, it is going to take some finagling on our part to tear F1 away from the Pavilion if it has a good weekend, so let’s vote. Let me hear your democratic, open minded and open sourced voice. F1 or 28 YEARS? Let freedom ring! LIFE OF CHUCK. Rumor h
