    Guzzo Cinemas Marketing Project

    The core service of exhibition theaters is its ‘full motion picture’, which is crucial to the success of the business as it accounts for 57% of the earned revenue. While the ‘digital pre-show’, which includes trivia and advertisements, has climbed in importance to 26% since its introduction with digital projection technology in early 2005[i], attracting advertisement contracts is reliant on patronship and the quality of the core business. ‘In-lobby entertainment options’ continue to be popular differentiation strategies in the theatre business, but comprise less than 3% of revenues and contribute questionably to the pull of patrons to one specific theatre. Factors such as location, and a desirable movie portfolio have proven to be much more important to attracting customers.…

    Blockbuster Exhibitions: a Case Study

    The contemporary blockbuster exhibit, which emerged in the museum world in the late twentieth century, has become increasingly popular among museums in the past few decades. Defined by Albert Elsen as a “large-scale loan exhibition which people who normally don’t go to museums will stand in line for hours to see,” these exhibits produce mass interest and wide-ranging excitement. In my paper I tackle the issue of the blockbuster exhibit and debate the pros and cons of this type of display through an analysis of the exhibit, Harry Potter: The Exhibition on display at the Museum of Science in Boston, Massachusetts. Does the display of such an exhibition harm the museum’s mission statement and core collection with its “theme park” type of display and potential lack of relevance to the museum’s purpose? Does it take away from the scholarly principle of the museum? Do benefits to funding and attendance figures dictate the museum’s policies regarding the presentation of exhibitions? Through the careful study of blockbuster exhibits I determine if museums are influenced by corporate money that sponsor such exhibits and whether such partnerships weaken the reputation and integrity of the museum.…

    Aeta

    "Aeta," "Ayta," "Agta," "Atta (Ata)," "Ati," and "Ita"- these probably derive from the root word "it," which in various Philippine languages means "black" as inferred from the Tagalog term itim and the Visayan term itom. "Negrito" or "little black one" is a Spanish term coined from the word "negro." The Aeta are a mountain people who are dark skinned, short, small of frame, kinky haired, snub nosed, and with big black eyes.…

    Theatre

    The arts attract investments: By improving a community’s image, people may feel more confident about investing in that community. So for example, people might be more likely to buy property in an area that they feel is “up-and coming” because of the presence of the arts. Or, banks may be more likely to lend to businesses in areas perceived as more secure and stable, and so on. One problem with determining the impact of the arts is distinguishing between revenue from locals verses revenue from tourists, and among the latter determining the extent to which the arts drew them to visit the community.…
