Frequently Asked Questions

1. How do you determine which movies come to the Cineplex and how long they run?

Answer: Unfortunately, theatres are not allowed to just pick any movie they want to show. The studios determine how many copies of the movie will be released and then the basic law of supply and demand comes into play. If a studio makes 2500 copies (which is a common release number) to be released around the entire United States, those copies are distributed to the largest theatres first and whats left are distributed among other theatres. We are excited to be associated with B&B Theatres which is the 33rd largest chain of theatres in the United States. This is why we are able to show so many new release movies. Unfortunately, being close to Joplin, MO where there are even larger theatres, a movie may be released there before we are able to bring it to Miami.

The length that a movie runs is also determined by the studio. Each movie has a contract that will be anywhere from 2 weeks to 6 weeks. We are obligated to play each movie for the duration of the contract length.

2. Who determines how a movie is rated?

Answer: Many people believe that the Studios or Producers determine the rating of a movie – this is not true. The MPAA, the Motion Picture Association of America is a board of parents who determine the ratings according to content. After reviewing the film the MPAA then votes on the rating and ratings are decided by a majority of the 10 – 13 board members.

3. What are the ratings and what do they represent?

Answer:
G – These films are usually considered “children’s films” because the MPAA board feels that it contains nothing the average parents find offensive for their children. G rated films do not contain nudity, sex, or drug use. Violence must be kept to a minimum but is permissible. Dialogue many contain brief heated exchanges, but cannot contain vulgarity.

PG – These films can contain some profanity and themes that may be inappropriate for children. Brief instances of violence and nudity are permissible, but drug use is not allowed. MPAA suggest that parents view movies that are rated PG prior to allowing their children to view it.

PG -13 – Strong warnings are given to parents regarding films that are rated PG-13 because of the inappropriate content for under-teenaged children. Films that have drug use are required to at least receive a rating of PG-13. Nudity is permissible and violence may be intense and persistent. Language will be stronger and may include the use of the F word as an expletive. (Use of this word in a sexual context will garner an R rating).

R – This indicates that a film is for mature adults. Strong language and/or violence will be prevalent. Films with this rating may also include drug usage and other elements most parents would find suitable only for adults.

NC-17 – This rating suggest that most parents will find content inappropriate for children under the age of 17. An NC-17 rating does not mean pornographic or obscene, but does mean content that most parents would consider inappropriate for children. Large amounts of sex, drug use or behavior of an aberrational nature may be present in the film.

Please note that Miami Cineplex does not encourage the use of the MPAA rating system as a substitute for parental involvement. The rating systems should only be used as a general guideline. Ultimately, it is the parent’s responsibility to determine which movies are appropriate for their children.

4. What does it mean by “no pass”?

Answer: Certain movies, especially new releases, are very strictly monitored by the studios and therefore restrictions may apply such as a “no pass”. A “pass” ticket is usually given in exchange for a problem (ie. Film breaking / storm interrupting film etc.) and may be used by the customer to view the film again or to view a different film. However, if a movie is restricted as a “no pass” then a purchased ticket would be required.

5. What is a VIP ticket and how can I obtain one?

Answer: A VIP Ticket is a discounted ticket that is purchased in large quantities. Anyone may purchase a block of tickets (minimum purchase is 50) and the purchase price is $5.50 each. This is a great program for businesses to acknowledge employees, use as gifts for customers or as incentive to gain potential clients. Contact any of the friendly staff at Miami Cineplex to learn more.

6. Who owns the Miami Cineplex?

Answer: The Miami Tribe of Oklahoma is the owner of the Miami Cineplex. However, the Tribe wants to always recognize the City of Miami for their support and dedication as this venture was a partnership of a Tribe and a City working together to benefit the community.

The Miami Cineplex is managed by B&B Theatres which is the 33rd largest theatre chain in the United States with theaters all over the states of Oklahoma, Missouri and Kansas. B&B is a family owned company who is dedicated to providing quality entertainment to families and communities. B&B Theatres employs over 600 employees and is to be commended for their part in the success of the Miami Cineplex.
