"Character is that which reveals moral purpose, exposing the class of things a man chooses or avoids." – Aristotle
As many in the Latino entertainment community may already be aware, a rally was held this past Friday, October 16th, 2009 outside of the “Empire 25” AMC theater on 42nd Street in Manhattan. A CNN camera crew was in attendance to cover the rally held to protest AMC Entertainment Inc.’s decision to pull two out of the three originally slated AMC screening locations for the Franc Reyes helmed film “The Ministers” due to poor marketing efforts by the film’s distributor Maya Releasing. This decision by AMC Entertainment left the one lone AMC screen at ” Empire 25” in which to view the film, in addition to one screen at National Amusement Inc.’s “Whitestone Multiplex Cinemas” in the Bronx. The opening weekend grosses for “The Ministers” was a combined total of $2,160 for the two locations (source: www.BoxOfficeMojo.com).
