My local small independant cinema is only showing Captain Marvel this Friday, I checked some of the other cinemas near me and they're all showing exclusively showing Captain Marvel.
Why aren't other studios raising a fuss over Disney seemingly strongarming theatres to only show their movie at the expense of everyone else's?
>3 showtimes Unless the theater only has 1 screen, they just haven't added the other showings yet. Theaters don't schedule the next week's movie until the week of, because how well the current week's films do over the weekend dictates what carries over.
Adam Wilson
It is indeed a single screen theatre.
Alexander White
This. Calm the fuck down Autists, they always put the blockbuster times up first so they can get ticket presales going. The rest of the schedule will probably go up later today.
Angel Collins
>They will update their scheduling Saturday morning. >No, it's Sunday >No, it's Monday >No, it's.... You're either mentally impaired, or dishonest
Nolan Ortiz
>how well the current week's films do over the weekend >over the weekend How could it be Saturday or Sunday retard? I used to work at a movie theater, it's always been Tuesday.
James Hernandez
I've checked seven different theatres, all different companies, and every single one is exclusively showing Captain Marvel this coming Friday, Monday to Thursday are normal but Friday seems to be reserved solely for Captain Marvel. There's no way this is a case of "lol they haven't updated their listings yet".
Jayden Ortiz
Post literally a single example of a theater who has their regular listings up from Monday to Thursday.
Josiah Anderson
You said it was supposed to be updated on Monday. It's motherfucking Monday. Where's the schedule update?
Adrian Rogers
It's 6am on a Monday, the theaters aren't even open for business yet. I don't know who said Monday, the theater I used to work at has always been Tuesday. Other chains might do it on Mondays, I couldn't tell you.
James Morgan
THIS IS THE TIME THAT MARVEL DIES. IGNORE THAT DISNEY MADE $3BN LAST YEAR. THIS IS THE YEAR THEY WILL SUDDENLY MAKE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. DCHADS WIN AGAIN! IGNORE AQUAMAN WAS JUST MORE MARVEL STYLE CAPESHIT! IT GOT A BILLION. IGNORE INFINITY WAR MADE $2BN AND END GAME WILL LIKELY MAKE $2BN. MARVEL IS FINISHED.
Fuck capeshit, fuck DC, fuck Marvel, fuck anybody who makes capeshit style films like Star Wars or whatever
Juan Sanchez
The shills are literally delusional. They said it would be updated later but the update never came. See how they somehow convince themselves the schedule would somehow update next week.
Henry Allen
>why hasn't an update happened before cinemas even open guys??? WHAT THE FUCK????
Connor Bailey
Monday is almost over where I'm from. So, if tomorrow there's no update, I can assume that Disney either paid of or threaten the theaters near me to show only CM?
Jace Morris
>only 20
Do people still think this is just a conspiracy? It's less than 2 days away
Min to thurs, sat and sun, are normal near me. Fri is all CapMarv.
Asher Gray
>independent cinema >showing blockbusters The absolute state. Though I get the feeling you just don't know what an independent cinema is, rather than the cinema being at fault.
Samuel Hughes
You can assume whatever you want, my dude, I have no idea what Disney is or isn't doing. All I know is that I worked at a theater for years, and so far, this is all standard procedure.
Did Escape Room just come out there or is it somehow still playing?
Alexander Peterson
if he's using usa as an example, then, yes? people in uk or canada or australia could do shit differently
Brandon Campbell
UHHHHHHHHHH
YOU KNOW THEY DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER MOVIES UNTIL 3 MINUTES BEFORE THE THEATER OPENS
Adrian Lee
Good, I can now watch Alita on CM opening day.
Angel Gonzalez
Released Feb 7. Just playing still
Charles Reed
>It's 6am on a Monday It's half eleven in the morning where I am and the listings at my local theatre show nothibg but Captain Marvel on the 8th
Luis Rivera
THEY DON'T LIST ANY OTHER MOVIES UNTIL YOU GET IN THE THEATER ON MARCH 8TH AND BUY 10 TICKETS TO CAPTAIN MARVEL

How hard is it to just CALL the theatre instead of whipping yourself into a frenzy? They will tell you the same thing, Tuesday is when the week's movie schedule goes up
Jacob Perry
Because there’s nothing fucking out in March, it’s traditionally dead space. When they parked ant man in it they expected it to flop, but because it’s marvel and the only option is made bucks
Robert Myers
Reminder op is such a pathetic faggot he copied creepy thin mans threads. Kill yourself op you fucking faggot
Jaxson Taylor
The schedule is already up for today, tomorrow, Wednesday and Thursday but as previously stated Friday is reserved exclusively for Captain Capeshit
Luke Fisher
>creepy thin man Literally who
Dylan Richardson
Mon-Thur is a part of the schedule that went up last Tuesday New movie schedules start on Fridays because that's when new movies come out and, therefore, older movies get dropped, brainlets Just because the schedule isn't up yet doesn't mean an entire theatre's worth of movies disappeared
Ian Harris

Owen Torres
I'm from Singapore and I just checked the schedule for 7th March.
Wednesday has half a dozen movies, Friday has 2 movies (Captain Marvel and something else) but Thursday only has this.
What "conspiracy?" Theaters are anticipating the last big Marvel movie before Endgame being big. Plus it's got special interest potential like Black Panther so there's even more cause to anticipate it.
What exactly is the crime? Are you unfamiliar with how movie theaters work?
Ethan Williams
Check next Friday and the Friday after that and then kill yourself for being this fucking retarded

Because that's not what's happening, clearly, or else they would be.
Michael Young
>Theaters are anticipating the last big Marvel movie before Endgame being big. Imagine believing this unironically. No, Disney is forcing them to. Captain Marvel is a huge bomb with 0 hype.
Jaxson Nguyen
>4 fucking days of this retarded conspiracy theory /pol/ was a mistake
John Martin
>Captain Marvel is a huge bomb with 0 hype. They played themselves out when they showed "Spider-man: Homecoming" trailer. How can you build hype when you know that if Nick Fury is back and alive, everyone else most likely is alive as well? It's really retarded.
Camden Ramirez
This happens for literally every big blockbuster you dumb fuckers. If the interest is big enough for a presale the screenings for that film will be available to buy (not reserve) earlier, rest of the film screenings will be available normally on tuesday.
Nicholas Rogers
Nick Fury wasn't in Spiderman Homecoming
Wyatt Perry
It doesn't have to be big movies
And it's probably safer to say Wednesday or else these retards will start screaming when it doesn't happen on Tuesday
The point still stands, when you know every character that Thanos erased from their realm is alive, what is there to see? It's really retarded.

Well atleast Yea Forums brainlets will learn how cinema scheduling works after this retarded meme non event.
Blake Miller
Tuesday evening is usually a lock by close of business It depends on whether the managers do it during morning shift or night shift. At my theatre, the guy works on Tuesday mornings and then Wednesday I build the movies (ingest them to the projectors, put the trailers on, set the lighting cues etc)
William Nelson
And Fandango says the full list is on Wednesday
I understand thinking and reading are very hard things for your tiny retard brain to do but you could at least try
James Stewart
These people won't learn shit
Camden Cox
no they'll just ignore anything they may accidentally learn except for when it fits their feelings of being persecuted by kid's movies.
Cameron Roberts
As I've stated over and over again the theatres closest to me HAVE updated their schedule for this week and the weekend, but for some reason Friday is reserved exclusively for Captain Marvel screenings.
Parker Sullivan
i work at a cinema. we aren't even offering tickets to the public for these sessions. they are going to be closed, empty sessions. it was passed off as group booking but the manager said no ones even coming
Jaxon Fisher

Pretty standard stuff for big capeshit premieres for all or most of the theater to be dedicated to it. Not like there's any meaningful competition anyway. All the production and distribution companies have been consolidated and they all work together so they don't have competing tentpoles on the same week.
Like honestly, imagine all the things in the world you could care about that wouldn't just scream that you're a disaffected virgin with a psychotic disorder?

Hunter Brown
>what law are they breaking or planning to break? kek how autistic do you have to be
Robert Barnes
What law are they breaking? What law are they planning to break?
This is the definition of the term "conspiracy." You're looking at "marketing and distribution strategy" and calling it illegal. Because it's in relation to a kid's movie about a really strong gril and that makes you upset.
So I mean if we want to talk autism spectrum, your shit is cranked up to 11.

Prioritising one movie at the expense of all other movies is anti-consumer.
Bentley Wright
>show only our movie >if you don't we won't give you the rights to any of our movies based
Connor Johnson
Movie theatres aren't ending ALL SHOWTIMES FOR ALL OTHER MOVIES.
They just haven't published their other showtimes because they only make their schedules on a week-by-week basis. Major tentpole releases generally go up for ticket pre-sales a whole month in advance, and so are scheduled accordingly--you guessed it--a month in advance. For all Disney's faults as a money-grubbing corporate leviathan, this is standard practice and the same shit happened for Aquaman back last December.
On any given business week (Friday-Thursday in the movie theatre business) the full schedule is published only a few days ahead of time, usually on Tuesday evenings at least at Regal; maybe other chains are different. So for the week of March 8th thru the 14th, expect to not see the full schedule posted until the night of Tuesday the 5th, and expect by that time to see plenty of listings at your theatre for movies that aren't Captain Marvel
Dylan Thomas
Debunked over and over in this thread. Stop shilling for Disney.
Angel Watson
is this the same thing as "theft?" Also define what you think "anti-consumer" means.
And what do you give a shit about "anti-consumer" policy? Given the likelihood that you support "conservative" corporatist policies what's it matter? You support the most "anti-consumer" policy platform in the modern history.
Prop up the health insurance plunderbund and cause hundreds of thousands of Americans go bankrupt every year: good economic policy!
Theaters dedicate all of their screenings on opening day to a popular kid's movie: REEE ANTI-CONSUMER!
It's so funny how you reactionaries getting face fucked by propagandists only care about your faggot "rights" when it comes to movies made for children.

Explain your understanding of how movie theatres schedule movies Give a weekly breakdown Alternatively, answer the following questions: What day do new movies premiere? What day do movie theatres update their schedules? Why day of the week do theatre employees schedules start on?
Alexander Gomez
IDIOTS! DISNEY CAN'T BLACKMAIL THEATERS TO SHOW ONLY THEIR MOVE BECAUSE THERE ARE NUMEROUS LAWS AGAINST IT. IT WOULD ALSO BE FINANCIAL SUICIDE FOR THEM. THEATERS WILL UPDATE TOMORROW OR WEDNESDAY LIKE THEY ALWAYS DO. CUT THE BULLSHIT ALREADY!!!!!!!!
Henry Reyes
>if you disagree with me you must be a conservative Wew lad
Caleb Evans
lol no it wasn't
Levi Lee
shill for what? You're looking at the externalities of our hyper-capitalist system where all the industries have been allowed to consolidate into mega-corporations that control everything. And you're ignoring things that are done literally every week and month, to fabricate a "conspiracy" theory from ignorance that reinforces your faggy feelings about a kid's movie.
If you want there to be a system where a handful of conglomerates don't have control over everything, you should stop fucking supporting the "conservative" corporate protectionist policies that created this buttfuck in the first place.
My issue is with the system. You like the system when it feeds you and makes you comfortable. And then you do the surprised pikachu face when the system doesn't cater explicitly to the things that you want to do.
Not to mention that this is literally a nonsense controversy. The 18 screen theater near me looks like it's ONLY showing Captain Marvel on Thursday and Friday, but it's clear this is only on like 9 or 10 screens. The other bullshit that people aren't pre-ordering isn't scheduled yet.
And how much time do you spend being upset about a kid's movie to be calling people shills? I'm trying to help you grow up m8.
Thomas Ross
they'll update next week
Ethan Harris
If you get triggered by Cabin Marbel yeah you almost certainly are. You're probably being psychographically microtargeted with propaganda about it too.
Or you could be one of those virtue signaling "centrists" that basically just act as bouncers to defend "conservatives" with endless whataboutism.
Cry more nigger. If you don't like being lumped in with easily manipulated dipshits stop consuming their memes.

They aren't pre-ordering compared to Captain Marvel that has literally been bought out to give away free tickets at hundreds of schools so wow no wonder people aren't seeing others huh? stupid shill

If you're confident in your movie give free tickets to schools to generate buzz. Particularly with undergrad because they have their entire high school social media friends still fresh and their whole new university netwrok. And then theaters always have some amount of tickets set aside for giveaways and shit.
Like you're looking at normal shit that happens with every new tentpole and.... what? Are you just virtue signaling and pretending to be outraged or are you actually retarded?
Are you engaging honestly right now?
> so wow no wonder people aren't seeing others huh? What are they going to see? Nobody releases big movies on the same weekend. And this is an exceptionally slow weekend. Part of the benefit of releasing a movie in fucking March. >stupid shill I mean again, the irony is that it's frustrating to see you struggling with so much basic shit.
