I worked for Marketforce years ago doing trailer checks, and the pay was bad. I didn't know about TES at the time, but I work for them now. I like working for them, I never have to worry about getting paid, and my scheduler is very nice. My issue with doing trailers is that I now live in a rural area and the closest theater is over 30 miles away, there is no theater in the little town I live closest to. So, if it's just for one movie that is only showing on one screen, I don't do it unless there are other jobs to do in that city. If it's for "select features" and there is a fighting chance that one or both movies have more than one screen I'll go, or if it's a block buster kids movie, I'll grab it up. I agree that being able to do trailer checks on Saturdays would be great, especially now that me and my son have to share a single vehicle.
I like doing opens too, but they are hard on a body, and they always seem to happen when I've already got my entire weekend booked up with other jobs.
I'd never heard of movie measure until today, I will be checking them out.
And for the person that asked; we do NOT watch the movies. We watch the trailers until the movie starts and we leave. If you want to watch the movie you have to buy a ticket.
