9-5: A Case Study Of The Movie Theater Industry

Decent Essays
When I wrote my post, I was looking at the price discrimination of movie theaters as a negative for people that work normal business hours of 9-5. I didn't give any thought to the fixed income senior citizens that benefit by going to matinee at a low cost. Each individual will look at this scenario differently, this is probably a very debatable subject. I still feel that if movie theaters were to charge the lower cost for all times and ages, that they would recoup this in concession stand sales. Do you agree with this statement? There are some movie theaters out there that do this already, it is the chain movie theaters that charge the higher prices.

    This also had to do with the market for films going down and the studios being in financial trouble in the 1960's. Her perspective may be due to the effect of only having single screen theaters in the 60's and 70's. She said that going to see movies was different for her then as opposed to now because there were less showings so it required a little more planning and showings were mostly on weekends. She said that theaters "feel like a fast food restaurant now as opposed to a nice restaurant. " Going to the movies used to be an all day thing for her because there would be double features as…

    The Importance of Landowners Duty of Care AMC theaters are doing the right thing, legally and ethically, by preventing masked people from entering their theaters. Considering the amount of theater shootings that have happened within recent years, it is completely reasonable for theaters to adapt to the new threats to those invited on the property. They have already banned any weapons, and at some theaters, even bags that could withhold weapons. No sane person was upset with those protocols because it ensured their safety, which only makes sense.…

    Regardless of how a business deals with its customers, the business has to always use a customer lens, which means the company looks through the customer’s eyes. The Walt Disney Company shines at customer service, and the reason is that the company, in constructing every consumer experience, gazes at everything through the eyes of the consumer. Every time the company comes into contact with the customer, they do it with an experience approach, not a task approach. When businesses enter into their customer connections as tasks rather than experiences, customers feel better handled through the system rather than just feeling appreciated. It is simple to descend into the task approach; it is the experience approach that enhances customer faithfulness.…
