AMC Theaters are banning Universal Pictures films
- Thread starter FLATOP
- Start date
My first job was as a "booth operator" (projectionist) at an AMC. Less than 10 of us knew how to do that shyt and these fukk ass bytches paid us the same measly $6 an hour as the other dozens of folks cleaning the theatres, working concessions or the ticket counter, etc 
And if they were short, WE would have to come down and help them 
I left that bullshyt after 1 year....

Was the projector hard to operate or they only trusted competent employees using it?

AMC on a personal level got the right to be upset. But on the business side they aināt helping themselves with not showing Universal movies. Low key I can see AMC pulling their theaters off of Fandango in the future.
Simple enough for a high schooler such as myself to do it but you still had to learn it and have some good sense to you and attention to detail. Basically, it took a little more thinking than running popcorn machine, for example.
During the weekends there'd be one person on each side but on weekdays you were running ALL projectors and you're supposed to play the right film, on time. Literally RUNNING fullspeed from one side of the theater to the other cuz you got two movies starting at the same time was just a given. And again, they need to be the RIGHT movie
The same theater could show 2 or 3 different movies throughout the day. One dude got fired cuz he accidentally put on a horror movie and it was supposed to be some kids movie. I mean LITTLE kid shyt 
You needed to be swift and efficient too. The films would go thru this contraption called "the brain" but if you fed the film wrong there, or somewhere else, you'd wind up with a "brain wrap"
Them bytches didn't PAY ME enough

Yes, Regal is like any studio puts a movie on vod beore the theaters they just wont show the film at all.
Yeah they'd happen sometimes. It wasn't a huge deal you just need to catch em on time, easy enough to fix. Never had anything like the pic, that's worst case scenario lol whoever was working just abandoned that shyt
