GOFOBO.com will send out occasional test screening invites, otherwise top grossing theatres in LA/NY will tend to have recruiters outside

Posted by: notfabio on May 10, 08:00 in response to HollywoodTycoon61's post How does one—namely me— get to be a test...

The vast majority of test screenings are done in LA/NY, but they will sometimes branch out to other large markets. 

 

AMC Burbank, the Arclights, The Grove, etc. Would be theatres that are recruited outside of as examples. 

 

However the odds that you are going to see a major tentpole are pretty slim (they rarely will ever tell you what film you are seeing)  and these are generally on a random week night vs on the weekend. 

 

 

 

 

 

Don't normally post about advanced screenings but watched a test screening for a holiday release superhero movie from a shared CBM universe. Reviewer May 09, 22:35

For those in the OC area, AMC 30 in Orange and Edwards Irvine Spectrum are also heavily recruited from. {nm} notfabio May 10, 08:15

ha ha "occasional" i get like 100 a day from them {nm} slipping jimmy May 10, 08:15

Probably based on mileage radius from test screening locations in that case. {nm} notfabio May 10, 08:20

Look outside Gruamann's Chinese or Burbank AMC. {nm} Antibody May 10, 08:51

caveat, you may not be approached if you fall outside the desired demographic 17-49. {nm} Antibody May 10, 09:27

Arclight Sherman Oaks, AMC Woodland Hills, Regal Thousand Oaks...all have frequent recruiters/screenings {nm} lapuckfan May 10, 09:36
