Hey, everyone. "Moriarty" here with some Rumblings From The Lab.
Well, okay, maybe not HARDBALL. But watch something. Just go to the theater today. Think of how painless this is... whatever you spend goes to help families affected by the events of September 11th. All of your ticket money and all the concession money. For theater chains to give up concession money, something is really going on.
Here's the press release that NATO sent again, with a link at the end so you can find out if your local chain is involved:
Movie Studios Join Theatre Owners In Support of Victims’ Benefit Day
Industry Encourages America to Go To the Movies on Tuesday, September 25
On the eve of the Sept. 25 "Victims’ Benefit Day at the Movies," the National Association of Theatre Owners announced overwhelming support for the benefit from motion picture distribution and exhibition companies. The industry encourages all Americans to turn out to the movies on Tuesday, September 25.
As announced previously, 100% of Sept. 25 ticket and concession sales at participating movie theatres nationwide will be donated to the September 11th Fund of the United Way, and the American Red Cross to benefit the needs resulting from this tragedy. Fifty percent of the proceeds will be donated to the American Red Cross and 50 percent will be donated to the United Way.
Over 250 exhibition companies, representing nearly 28,000 screens, will participate in the benefit. These theatre companies extend their heartfelt thanks to the many motion picture distribution companies that have generously agreed to add their share of Tuesday’s movie ticket revenue to exhibition’s, and donate it to America’s disaster relief efforts. Participating exhibition and distribution companies are listed on NATO’s web site at www.natoonline.org. (The web site list must be considered temporary as additional exhibition and distribution companies continue to sign up.)
