Roxy Theatres of Uxbridge A first run movie theatre. Every Monday, I book films for the Roxy for opening the following Friday, as does every theatre in North America. I call in with my wish list based on reviews from exhibitor previews, articles on the films outlining projected sales based on the popularity of the films, forecasts based on previous films in the series, etc. I try to see all the big ones ahead of time when the distributor has pre screenings in Toronto and after 2. I hope I pick the films my town, and our patrons would like to see. In Uxbridge, we are very fortunate to have a loyal customer base from all over our region we even have folks who come up from the city to attend our little Roxy. There is a number of tastes I am trying to appeal to Families with the latest and greatest of films appealing to both young and old, Super Seniors, a very discerning and loyal group of movie goers, Teenagers, who want to see all of the blockbusters as soon as they premiere, Date Night for couples, hoping to snag a meal and a movie without having to drive out of town. And finally, I also try to book Art Films for my folks that like something a bit unique that resonates with film making excellence, whether it is a foreign film or documentary. It might not seem like too difficult a task but with only two screens, it can be a juggling nightmare. Here is whyBooking Films and Film Contracts When I book a film to premiere at the Roxy, meaning when it opens in North America, it opens in Uxbridge at the same time, I am committing to the terms of contract which outlines the following Minimum 2 to 3 week contract, and full shows for example Dr. Strange. The screen is basically owned by that film for the duration of the contract. Sometimes, I am able to split the screen, meaning, bring in a film and have it just for evenings and play another film just for matinees, but since the Roxy is considered a First Run theatre, which allows us to bring you all of the latest films on premiere just the like the big guys in the city, this is difficult to do sometimes, especially during busy times of the year, like Christmas for example, when there is so many great films out there to choose from. In some cases, like with the movie Trolls, I had to make a very tough decision as I had the film originally booked to open on release and the film distributor decided to change the term from 2 weeks to 3 weeks which would have affected opening 2 other films on release. So I had to say no to Trolls on release, however, I will bring it in as soon as I can I will ask on Monday I promise and hopefully, my patrons will wait to see it at our theatre.

The same explanation above applies to folks booking birthday parties at the Roxy. I am always asked What movies are you playing on, some future date and sometimes I can answer if I know there is a film I have targeted as one I think our patrons will want to see, on release on that date. But, there are never any guarantees in this movie business until I go to book the film on the Monday before the following Friday. I try my best for my customers and hopefully this will help you to further understand the process of booking films at the Roxy.
