The contract came about so the theater wouldn’t be competing with the multiplexes that were put in the malls that Carmike owns in the area, and the sad part about this whole thing is most of the time we here in Traverse City have to wait sometimes up to a month after movies are released to even get showed, if at all, a good example of this was we were the first in the nation to get to see Borat during the Film Festival, and when it was released to the public they decided not to run it in Traverse City till the following week, when I contacted Carmike about this, they informed me it was Twentieth Century’s Foxes decision, so whos really in charge here Im asking
Recent news on the State Theater is the board of Directors of the Traverse City Film Festival, Michael Moore, John Robert Williams, and Doug Statton are in meeting with the Traverse City Rotary Charities (who owns the State) about the possibility of the Historic State Theater becoming the permanent home of the TC Film Festival and reopening the long closed movie house on a year round basis. This would be a huge event should it happen, a boost not only to Downtown Traverse City, but to movie lovers both far and wide, the word on the street is Car mike cinemas has a contract against showing first and second run movie for 25 years from when it was sold back in the late eighties, We’ve got are fingers crossed here in Traverse City hoping and praying Car-mike will do the right thing and void the contract. marctee (The Letter Guy)
