POLICIES AND PROCEDURES:
· Your CSC buyer will work closely with you/your theatre manager in scheduling “product” in your theatre to maximize income.
· Our software is interfaced with Rentrak; we request that you report your daily grosses to them; our Daily Gross Report is sent to all relevant distributors by 9:30AM.
· Our service includes the CSC “gatekeeper” system. We assist you with your box-office reports and payments in the following ways: your weekly box office reports can be either mailed, emailed, or faxed to our office. Film payments can also be mailed to our office. Both your BOR and payment are recorded in our system, then forwarded to the correct distributor. This helps us to maintain accurate records for producing reports and/or and correcting disputes with distribution regarding your account.
· Box Office Reports must be sent either to us or the distributor within 7 days.
· If you are a new theatre owner, CSC will send a letter to all distributors informing them of your theatre opening. You will receive credit applications from each distributor which you will need to complete and return. We can not book your theatre until you are approved with each distributor.
· If you are a new theatre owner, you will be required to initially send in advances/guarantees until your credit has been firmly established with each studio.
· Our fees will be billed every two weeks. A contract is not required, but we do request a 30-day notice should you wish to cancel our services.
