ABSTRACT:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The current invention is a display system. More particularly, the current invention provides for an apparatus and method for providing stationary and audio/visual advertising information to a patron of the cinema.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The cinema has enjoyed a tremendous popularity in our society. Movies have touched on virtually every theme in an attempt to reach a wide audience. Typically, the theatres advertise their current movie offerings by poster advertisements. These movie posters enjoy a rich history and tradition along with the movies they promote. The movie industry would be very reluctant to give up such a unique part of its heritage. However, as more filmmakers vie for the entertainment dollars of the consumer, there exists a need to entice the consumer to a particular film that goes beyond the ability of the movie poster.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is an object of the invention to provide an apparatus that will provide a visual element to the movie advertising. It is a further object of the invention to provide said visual element without eliminating the current movie poster. It is another object of the invention to provide said visual element in a manner where a prospective moviegoer can view said visual element as desired.
