How Many Movies in Theaters?

[Pauliesr]

I'd have to figure at least 1000+

I worked in the movie theater business for almost 15 years starting with concession person all the way up to GM. I saw an awful lot of movies during those years. The best were those that we in the industry were able to see ahead of time (more than just a couple of days or a week) - trade screenings!

My most memorable was Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade - 6 weeks before release!!!(Paramount people flew in for it and there were maybe 6 people that got to watch it)

And Star Trek VI I got to see 6 weeks early too. It was a working print so SPFX weren't done yet.

Lethal Weapon 2 - 4 weeks before release.

The good old days....
