Booking a film to an available "slot" in a theatre is an ongoing, tedious process. Each week, new films are released, and for each theatre in the circuit, a new release may need to replace an existing title that is already booked. Additionally, an existing title may "hold" and continue to play in the next week. Film Booking simplifies this process and provides exceptional flexibility and control when booking your theatres.
