LonesomePolecat Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 How I wish I could go to the movies on this day in 1939 rather than this actual day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted June 3, 2011 Author Share Posted June 3, 2011 Well, maybe some day there will be a station on the new-fangled thing called television that will play these all day long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrroberts Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I notice a lot of advertising dollars are being thrown out for Donald Duck. Any idea as to how the advertising costs are split up between the movie makers, the distributors, and the individual theaters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted June 13, 2011 Author Share Posted June 13, 2011 I don't, but my guess would be local advertising was paid for by the theater itself. Not sure if they had a % thing worked out as far as advertising costs. However, I do believe that the reason Donald Duck is mentioned in the ads has nothing to do with Disney paying for mentioning him, but rather that theaterowners knew he was more popular than some of the movies being advertised and would bring people in.

kingrat Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Many interesting items in your recent posts, filmlover. 1. Margaret Booth's piece about women working behind the scenes in Hollywood. 2. Katharine Hepburn being included in the list of actresses trying to make a comeback. This shows her standing after the "box office poison" of costume pictures that didn't succeed. She's the only one in the list who became a star again. 3. The ad for *Mr. Smith Goes to Washington* makes it sound like a comedy. 4. *Three Strangers* is announced as an upcoming Bette Davis movie. Is this the script that Negulesco made a number of years later with Geraldine Fitzgerald?
