The process of distribution that a movie goes through
At the regent street cinema, we take a great deal of pride in the fantastic movie choices that we provide for our customers. Cinemas are obligated to screen a certain number of important films, but we show both indie films and films that have been successful at the box office, which allows us to consistently provide the best content curation.
How can we get the interesting combination of films to appear on our screen?
How movie theaters acquire the films they show
After a film has been completed and handed over to a studio, the studio will sign into a licensing agreement with a distribution company, and this will mark the beginning of the process. After that, the picture is screened for prospective buyers who are associated with movie cinema rental and film festivals.
During the process of buying, we have conversations with the distribution company about the films that we are interested in leasing because we believe they will offer a diverse selection of material and create high ticket sales.
Negotiations will take place over the terms of the lease agreement as well as the number of weeks we intend to exhibit the property. After then, the movie will be brought to us a few days before the first day of the showings so that we can watch it.
One of two methods is used to provide us digital data to review: the first is a hard drive that contains all of the movies and trailers that the production company wants us to watch in advance.
Another method of distribution that is gaining ground is downloading content onto one’s computer through the use of a satellite or a high-speed internet connection. This is becoming an increasingly common practice.
The movie is always encrypted using a digital key that is sent to the theater individually for each server, regardless of the manner of distribution that is being used.
This key will only function properly with that specific movie when it is being played back on that specific playback server for the entirety of the engagement.
If the length of time that the video is shown for is increased, you will need to provide us with a new security key.
With the help of this cutting-edge encryption technology, a single copy of a movie can be distributed to thousands of theaters.
However, the presentation of that movie is entirely sanctioned by and is entirely under the control of the distribution studio, right down to the specific auditorium and the particular hour of the day.
You will be required to check in at the next stage. After purchasing a ticket from our box office, you will be allowed to watch the film.
Some of the processes that we outline may be combined, and in the case of more modestly budgeted indie films, additional processes may be necessary.
Because of all of these factors, we are able to charge reasonable pricing for movie tickets that are sufficient to cover all of these costs.
As you can see, a lot goes into producing a movie on cinema rental before it is even shown to paying customers. Come see for yourself how all of the hard work has paid off by coming to the regent street cinema at 307 regent street, which is located only two minutes north of oxford circus.
