While Looney’s proposal might seem well-meaning, it’s a misguided idea for several reasons. Primarily, movie theater ads play a crucial role in helping these businesses survive financially. As the pandemic underscored, the film industry’s business model can be fragile, and advertising is frequently a substantial part of an exhibitor’s income. A 30-second ad running over four weeks could bring a movie theater anywhere from $2,000 to $3,000 or more, as estimated by Blue Line Media. Even small theaters like the Avon Theatre in Stamford, highlighted by the Register Citizen‘s reporter, rely on these ads and previews for their financial stability, with Peter H. Gistelinck, the theater’s executive director, stating that announcing movie start times would negatively impact their finances in an already challenging environment. Unfortunately, Looney’s one-page bill fails to consider or address the potential consequences for theatrical businesses. Not every exhibitor is as large as AMC or Cinemark, and this bill, as it stands, doesn’t make any exceptions; imposing such rules on smaller theaters could lead to increased admission prices. The revenue has to come from somewhere.
As a movie enthusiast, I must clarify that “Hurry Up” is not to be mistaken with The Weeknd’s other recent cinematic venture, the HBO series titled “The Idol.” While “The Idol” was announced in mid-2021, following the triumph of his album “After Hours” and the hit single “Blinding Lights,” news about “Hurry Up” didn’t surface until early 2023, after “The Idol” had completed its reshoots. Interestingly, while The Weeknd partnered with “Euphoria” showrunner Sam Levinson on “The Idol,” Levinson is reportedly not involved in the production of “Hurry Up.” In fact, according to The Hollywood Reporter, the production of “Hurry Up” has caused a rift between Levinson and his longtime collaborator Kevin Turen, as Turen is producing “Hurry Up” without Levinson. Furthermore, last July, The Hollywood Reporter reported that “Hurry Up” had been in post-production for over a year with minimal interest from investors. Now, it’s set to hit theaters on May 16th.
