Blacks in Cinema (1999)

Adding up the number of screens in this ad you should get about 200 screens. That is an extraordinary number of screens and furthermore many of these theaters are located fairly close to each other. For example, Eastland Center 8, Consumer Sq. 14, and Pickerington 16 are a short drive off I-70 from each other. Northland 8, Easton 30, and Movies 16 at Gahanna were fairly close together from Morse Rd. Westland 8 and Georgesville Sq. 16 were not far apart from I-270. This exhibition policy began in the nineties and practically makes available to the megaplexes and multiplexes located in most large metropolitan areas the same first-run movies at the same time and date.
