I've run into licensing issues showing non-current movies when you rent a theater.

- It's that "public performance" thing. Indie theater owners can run afoul of the rules. - Mop Jul 14, 07:45
- I wouldn't think so - doesn't the fine print usually say something like "not for viewing in cinemas, schools, oil rigs, etc"? -- nm - Roger More Jul 14, 07:45

- Could be AMC has a blanket contract for catalog films. -- nm - Mop Jul 14, 07:43
