Booking films in United Kingdom
Studio titles are usually booked through the studio's local distribution office or, for smaller cinemas, through a film buyer who represents many venues. Independent distributors are generally approached directly, and their terms are more negotiable — including flat fees and repertory bookings. How the process works is covered under film booking, film rental and what a film distributor does, and step by step in how movie theaters get movies.
