About the Film:

One of the earliest classic American horror films from Universal Pictures and the only adaptation to be sanctioned by the Stoker Estate, Dracula (1931) is a masterpiece. The special effects & set design are cutting edge, but the film belongs to Bela Lugosi, whose performance as the titular Count (reprising his role from the hit Broadway play) continues to shock, inspire & delight audiences worldwide. USA, 1931, 75 min.


About the book:

Dracula The Un-Dead is a bone-chilling sequel based on Bram Stoker's own handwritten notes for characters and plot threads excised from the original edition. Written with the blessing and cooperation of Stoker family, Dracula The Un-Dead is a deeply researched, lovingly-crafted extension and celebration of one of the most popular novels in literature.

"Track Tucker" Premier Tour

I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell–based on the shocking, ridiculous and hilarious real life adventures of Tucker Max–is the story of an impromptu bachelor party gone horribly awry thanks to a midget, a fat girl, a gaggle of strippers, an overly destructive public intoxication ordinance, and the consequence of Tucker’s unflinching narcissism.

A nation wide tour had been developed to have 31 premiers, in 31 different cities. They did one premier each day leading up to the opening weekend. Instead of just doing one premiere either in New York or Los Angeles. At the premiers they had swag bags which was included in the price of the ticket, Q&A after each show, and stuck around to sign autographs and take pictures with fans. They also had after parties during some of their visits.

I thought this was a smart way to promote their movie. In addition, make an event that is usually very exclusive; made available to the general public. If you are an independent Film Maker or Production Company and looking to distribute your movie, increase ticket, or dvd sales. A "Premiere Tour" that is fun and can create unique experiences might be an avenue worth considering. In addition, will provide valuable data to Movie Distribution Companies on why it is worthwhile to pick up your next move project.

Movie theaters cut print show times as Web gains

Movie Exhibition Companies are starting to trend their advertising online rather than using Newspapers to show their show times. This is a smart move for many reasons. However, the question each theater company needs to determine is what demographic of people does each theater attract?

For example, if a large percentage of your business are senior citizens. It might not be the best decision to pull all of your print advertising. Many senior citizens either do not use the internet, may not be familiar with websites and search methods, and have used newspapers to find out show times of movies for a long period of time.

On the other hand, if your theater or theaters attracts a younger demographic that you feel are familiar with the internet and will not hinder the daily operations of your business; It is well worth cutting costs to your print advertising for multiple reasons. This will increase unique visitors/traffic to your website, allocate money to advertising that is measurable to ensure ROI goals are achieved. This is an important point because print advertising cannot measure how many people look at your movie listings or advertisements. However, online advertising is measurable.

This is a start of Movie Exhibition Companies using online advertising. There are a few Theater Companies using social networking sites like "Twitter" and "Facebook" to display show times, movie reviews, contests, and other relevant information pertaining to their company. I fully anticipate Movie Exhibition Companies using CPM, CPA, and other online advertising methods as a way to increase concession and gift certificate sales, drive traffic to their theaters and other ways that can be beneficial to the company and to its guests.

Interactive 3D Game Coming to Movie Theaters This Summer


By Mark Wilson

Asteroid Storm is an interactive 3D game coming to UK theaters later this summer that will precede movies like Ice Age 3 3D and Toy Story 3D.

20 UK Vue cinemas will offer audiences the opportunity to steer a spaceship through an asteroid belt. Two IR cameras will track the audience (the left half raises their hands to veer left, the right half raises their hands to veer right). None of the experience is prerendered—it's all an interactive video game.

As films go 3D, it'll be interesting to see if theaters (and movie makers) take the opportunity to integrate more interactive elements to the experience. Raising my hand in the air, however, is not how I see myself defeating the Decepticons to rule the Universe.
