Does all the films get sent to the movie and tv company and they get picked or what do they do ?
I’m not exactly sure what you’re asking here.
I run a five screen movie theatre. Each week we choose which movies we want to open based on what’s coming out and what we expect to do business. When making our choices, we have to take into account the on-going popularity of movies we are already playing. We also have to consider what the studios will charge us for the movies and any minimum run requirements.
Because we only have five screens, there are often movies we just don’t have room to play and that’s the way it is. If something we missed is popular, we may bring it in a few weeks later when we have room. But more often than not we don’t play it if we don’t get it the opening weekend.
My theatre still used 35mm film projectors for all five screens. The films are delivered to us in cans or boxes containing a bunch of 20 minute long reels – the number varies by the length of the movie. We then splice these small reels into one big reel to run through the projector.
The movie industry is in the process of switching over to digital projection where movies come on hard drives and are projected with high resolution digital projectors. Down the road, the movies may be delivered by satellite or over encrypted internet connections.
I don’t know anything about how television deals are worked out.
