see trailer but they never get the movie
I think movie trailers are a form of adverting, along with the other advertising the movie theater plays. The marketing people with Carmike and Overture Films have opinions other than what I believe. In my opinion, showing a preview implies that the movie will eventually be shown when available. I just cannot understand why a movie theater would show a preview and never show the actual movie at the theater.

Cullman Alabama Theater
My mother (79) and I took my granddaughter and nieces 4, 5, 8 to see Midnight at the Museum when it first came out (2/3 weeks ago) It was during the day and not many people were there. The girls were so excited to be at the movies with not only each other but their greatgrandmother. The previews came on and just continued to get worse and more vulgar than the ones before. I thought why would a family movie have such rough previews?? Finally the movie started and the 1st 3 words of the movie were, F*#K, F*#K, F*#K. I could not get my family up and out of there fast enough!!! I found the manager and said something to him (he's been there 30 years that I know of). He said he was sorry he had but the wrong movie in and he would fix it. FIX IT??? 3 young girls (and my elderly God fearing mother) had just seen and heard things that they never should have been exposed to. He was very rude about it and did everything but tell me to shut up. This should have NEVER happened and he should have apologized. I have been taking my family there for over 30 years and I will not step foot in there again. My granddaughter announced at church that we should pray for the mean man at the movie with the dirty words. Our whole congregation has agreed to take our business elsewhere. Something should be said to Mr. Hateful, Arrogant, Unprofessional Manager in Cullman Alabama before he "EDUCATES" young children in the ways of the world AGAIN!!! Bad publicity is the worse kind and it spreads faster these days with the internet. I realize mistakes happen but this one should not have and it certainly could have been handled more professionally.
