Holiday Success at THE NEON! Thank You!!

December 31, 2010 by
NEON exterior

Hello Everyone. I returned to Dayton on December 24 (after visiting with my folks for a couple days) to find that we had lost exclusivity with our engagement of THE KING'S SPEECH...and I'll admit I was disappointed and a bit heartbroken. But I shouldn't have been. More Daytonians supported THE KING'S SPEECH at THE NEON than at any of the multiplexes...and I thank you for your support! We have had a couple sell-outs and numerous large audiences since the film opened on December 25, and people are absolutely loving the film. If you haven't seen it yet, we hope to see you soon! If you've … [Read more...]

THE KING’S SPEECH – Exclusively at THE NEON!

December 23, 2010 by
The-Kings-Speech-Poster-uk-poster

Hello Everyone. I'm absolutely thrilled to announce that THE KING'S SPEECH will open exclusively at THE NEON on December 25. Being that the 25th is a Saturday, our schedule is a bit strange this week. THE GIRL WHO KICKED THE HORNET'S NEST will play through Friday, THE KING'S SPEECH starts Saturday, and BLACK SWAN will hold. And speaking of BLACK SWAN...Wow! What a weekend! For a film that opened on multiple screens, BLACK SWAN was our biggest opening of the year. (That said, CRAZY HEART - which we had exclusively for one week back in January - was still our best.) Synopsis for THE … [Read more...]

Toronto – THE FILMS – Day #3 (and THE STARS (galore))

September 12, 2010 by
kings_speech

Today was minimal in regards to number of films screened...due to circumstances beyond my control.  But the 2 films I did screen were wonderful.  (I paid $15 for a cab to get me to a screening of 127 HOURS on time...only to find out that it had been pushed back - which conflicted with my next screening.)  Alas, I only saw two films and attended one hell of a party! First off, I saw a film that Weinstein Co. has picked up - THE KING'S SPEECH - starring Colin Firth, Geoffrey Rush and Helena Bonham Cater.  The film is fantastic!  Based on a true story of the relationship between the … [Read more...]
