KCKAD - Reading several different places that Carmike Cinemas refuses to play Kick-Ass nationwide. Can anyone confirm? lobogotti Apr 15, 11:43

Correct. dsbman Apr 15, 11:46

that seems a big blow for KCKAS. they are the nations 4th largest theatre chain. they have 250 theatres in 36 states. {nm} lobogotti Apr 15, 11:48

And of those theatres, how many are in areas that do not have other theatres around it? filmjerkcom Apr 15, 11:53

no doubt. i don't know much about them as a company. they appear to be located in smaller cities so hopefully there is a competitor in lobogotti Apr 15, 11:56

They are perhaps best known as being one of the first large circuits to go mostly digital and program digital content {nm} notfabio Apr 15, 12:16

thanks for the info. any details on why Lionsgate and CC are having issues? {nm} lobogotti Apr 15, 12:19

FJ is correct. Carmike locations do much better with family "leggy" movies which is not really what Lionsgate targets .. notfabio Apr 15, 12:36

As the links hint, it's a contractual issue, not some beef with the content of KICK-ASS. {nm} dsbman Apr 15, 11:48

And that it's not just Kick-Ass but all Lionsgate movies from henceforth until a revenue-sharing agreement can be made {nm} filmjerkcom Apr 15, 11:49

wow....somebody needs to step up. {nm} lobogotti Apr 15, 11:50

maybe they will work it out.....doubtful. {nm} lobogotti Apr 15, 11:49
