How can I advertise on your screen?
Classic Cinemas accepts on-screen advertising as part of its entertainment before the movie begins. For more information about on-screen or in-theatre advertising, visit Screenvision, email chicagosales@screenvision.com, or call 1-800-724-MOVIE.
Why can't I use my coupon or pass for new movies?
The film companies restrict us from accepting coupons or passes the first two weeks a film is widely released. In some cases, it can be up to the first four weeks.
Why aren't you playing a particular movie?
Film companies decide whether to give our theatres a print of their movie based on a number of factors. We are also limited by the number of screens we have.
