BOXOFFICE'S EXHIBITION EXECUTIVE SURVEY
Michael Patrick, President & CEO, Carmike Cinemas
1. What will be the biggest change in exhibition over the next 10 years?
Exhibitors will incorporate new marketing strategies specifically targeting
individual demographics. These strategies will include expanding thi
selection of concession items, utilizing unused floor space for additionaj
marketing and finding other methods of capitalizing on our captive
audience in order to maximize the per patron dollar.
2. What changes will need to be made to keep the industry healthy'.'
— In response to the increased construction and debt costs, exhibitors
must practice a more controlled and logical expansion.
-A bilateral modification to the film rent splits providing a more equitable
distribution of revenue to compensate for shorter run times.
3. What are your circuit's goals for the 21st century?
We are committed to improving the quality of our existing facilities in tht
secondary markets so as to maintain our leadership position as the primary
provider of entertainment to the small- and medium-size markets.
