National Association of Theatre Owners of Michigan, Inc NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF THEATRE OWNERS OF MICHIGAN, INC. 121 W. Allegan Street, Lansing, MI 48933 / 517.482.9806 / Fax 517.482.9934 TO: NATO of Michigan Members OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS FROM: Jack Schick President and National Delegate Date: December 27, 2006 Mark Henning Neighborhood Cinema Group RE: Year End Report Vice President Charlie Murray Phoenix Theatres It has been another busy year for NATO of Michigan. The minimum wage legislation, Annual NATO of Michigan Legislative Reception, Michigan Association of Theatre Owners Treasurer PAC, NATO of Michigan Scholarship, and exploring a new NATO of Michigan insurance Rusty Belcher National Amusements services program were some of the highlights for 2006. All in all, it was a very successful year for NATO of Michigan, and we look forward to building on those successes in the Secretary coming year. Joe Chabot Moore Theatres As for the Michigan Legislature, the 93rd legislative session has just concluded it’s two-year Directors session. There was much activity impacting NATO of Michigan members during this two- Terrell Falk year session. There was legislation to ban violent video games with harsh penalties for Cinemark USA, Inc. violators, which was expanded to include motion pictures. We were successful in amending Paul Glantz motion pictures out of the legislation before it went to the Governor for her signature. Then Emagine Entertainment, Inc. there was the Governor’s proposed 6% Film Rental Tax which NATO of Michigan vigorously opposed. We countered with a summer long ad campaign in our theaters Bob Goodrich Goodrich Quality Theaters throughout the state and when the state budget was finally completed the film rental tax was not included. A major victory for NATO of Michigan! Then, as we thought possibly things Nancy Hagan Loeks Theatres, Inc. would settle down for movie exhibition in the Legislature for 2006, the minimum wage issue & Celebration! Cinemas suddenly took center state in Michigan. Driven by 2006 election politics, Republicans hastily passed a dramatic increase in the minimum wage, the first phase of which would be effective Bob Sloan MJR Theatres October 1, 2006, one month prior to the November elections. In their haste, a federal overtime exemption for numerous employees in the state was deleted. Included in those Gary Geiger employers were movie theater owners. Again, after a summer long lobbying campaign, Neighborhood Cinema Group NATO of Michigan was successful in not only retaining the federal overtime exemption, but Cory Jacobson also convinced the Legislature to enact a new youth wage for those under 18 years of age at a Phoenix Theatres substantially reduced rate of pay. Through NATO of Michigan’s efforts we were able to mitigate the negative effects of this onerous wage hike on Michigan’s employers. John Loeks, Jr. Loeks Theatres, Inc. & Celebration! Cinemas Also in 2006, our Annual NATO of Michigan Legislative Reception was held in Lansing in Carol Moore the fall, with another terrific turnout by both our membership and members of the Legislature Moore Theatres and their staff. We look forward to an even better turnout in 2007! Joseph Pudussery Regal Entertainment Group The Michigan Association of Theatre Owners PAC was active in its first election, supporting numerous friends in the Legislature on both sides of the aisle who have supported movie Barb Zanetti exhibition in the past. All but one of those candidates was successful in the November Uptown Entertainment election. We look forward to working with them when the new Legislature convenes in January. Thanks go out again to all those who supported the PAC and have indicated an Executive Director Jack Schick ongoing commitment to support our friends in the Legislature in the future. Lansing, MI (517) 482-9806 CINEMARK USA, EMAGINE ENTERTAINMENT, INC., GOODRICH QUALITY THEATERS, LOEKS THEATRES, INC. & CELEBRATION! CINEMAS MJR THEATRES, MOORE THEATRES, NATIONAL AMUSEMENTS, NATO of WISCONSIN – UPPER MICHIGAN NEIGHBORHOOD CINEMA GROUP, PHOENIX THEATRES, REGAL ENTERTAINMENT GROUP, UPTOWN ENTERTAINMENT www.natoofmi.org NATO of Michigan also gave out three $1,000 scholarships to worthy employees of our members in 2006. We will be looking for three more outstanding individuals to be awarded scholarships in June 2007. You will be receiving the 2007 scholarship application in the near future to distribute to your employees. Finally, NATO of Michigan has been exploring an insurance program to offer to all NATO of Michigan members. We currently have three vendors preparing proposals to offer the highest quality insurance products and service for the lowest cost. Look for more information on this subject in a separate mailing in January. I want to personally thank all of you for your continued confidence and support of our organization. I look forward to working with you to meet the challenges that will arise in 2007 and look to continue the successes we have enjoyed this past year. Wishing all of you a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year! .

With a focus on media literacy, the buzzwords and discussion questions in this guide will encourage your students to think critically about film and form their own opinions or interpretations. Remind your students that films, just like the stories found in books, have similar narrative components, such as: THEME, SETTINGS, CHARACTERS, and so on. Many of these concepts will be familiar to your students, however, this program aims to have students apply these concepts to film.

  • The River Oaks Theater: Saved from the Wrecking Ball?
    preservation The River Oaks Theater: Saved from the Wrecking Ball? The stunning auditorium of the River Oaks Theater features “Land” and “Sea” reliefs flanking the screen. The “Sea” detail is shown at left. Photo courtesy of Preservation Houston. By Ramona L. Hopkins or over seventy years the River Oaks Theater has operated at 2009 West Gray in FHouston’s affluent River Oaks community. Although the theater has changed over the years, it remains an integral part of Houston, the city’s culture and history, and of the movie industry in the second half of the twentieth century. The River Oaks Theater was the tenth Interstate Theater to open in a seven-year period and one of the last Art Deco buildings constructed in the city. Other historic theaters have been closed and demolished. Like them, the River Oaks Theater has also found its existence threatened. Ever since a group of women fought to save President George Washington’s home in the mid-nineteenth century, groups have fought to preserve homes, churches, parks, and commercial buildings. In the 1960s and 1970s, organizations formed to protect the old movie theaters that were a central feature of most cities and towns. Communications professor Janna Jones argues, “Old movie theaters produce powerful feelings of nostalgia.”1 The building itself, for many, serves as a real connection with the past. Everybody has memories of going to the theater with family and friends, the food they ate, the sights and sounds, and the film’s ability to transport them into another world. “To see a unit etched in our cultural memory reduced to rubble is a disturbing experience, one that severs tangible connections to our individual and collective heri- tage,” architect Joseph M.

  • Netflix Is the Future of Film the Film Industry Could Learn a Thing Or Two from the Streaming Service
    FUTURE SOCIETY Hollywood is Wrong: Netflix is the Future of Film The film industry could learn a thing or two from the streaming service. Kristin HouserApril 20th 2018 https://futurism.com/epidiolex-fda-committee-marijuana-drug The film industry has sent a clear message to Netflix: You can’t sit with us. Industry insiders clearly think Netflix’s films are somehow “less than” those released in theaters. Steven Spielberg told ITV News the streaming service’s releases shouldn’t be eligible for Oscars. Christopher Nolan told IndieWire he would never work with the company. Cannes banned Netflix’s films from competition, prompting Netflix’s chief content officer Ted Sarandos to pull allof the service’s films from the festival, even the ones that weren’t eligible to win anything. “We want our films to be on fair ground with every other filmmaker,” Sarandos told Variety. And why shouldn’t they be? They star A-list actors (Will Smith, Adam Sandler). They’re helmed by respected directors (Martin Scorsese, Noah Baumbach). And they truly do compete with movie-theater films, scoring Oscar nominations and winning other prestigious awards. Film industry haters should really reconsider. Even the snobbiest film buffs can’t deny that Netflix is bringing something positive to the world of cinema. Instead of lashing out against Netflix, the industry could benefit by embracing some of what Netflix is doing right. First, the film industry might want to take more risks. “Studios are lagging behind for the very simple reason that they are relying on retreads and reboots, and most of those aren’t being well received,” Jeff Bock, an expert on film industry trends at Exhibitor Relations, told Business Insider.
