I've received a number of questions about movie scheduling. It is very difficult to schedule movies so they are scheduled at the perfect time for everyone and I'm very open to suggestions. In general, here are some rules we will use to schedule movies. R rated movies typically get scheduled later at night when only adults are allowed in the theatre. We try to get at least one showing in earlier in the evening during the week, often Tuesday nights. We don't schedule PG movies later in the evening as a general rule. Attendance for a PG movie when only adults are allowed is usually low. However, we do schedule PG movies at night sometimes when the bar is open, in case that's your preference. Since we often have 6-8 movies, we try to make sure each movie shows early on a night or two and late on a night or two. That way, if you work early or late, you should be able to find a show that works for you.
Have a specific suggestion? Feel free to email me at kevin@northernlightstheatrepub.com.
