I went ahead and deleted a lot of this article because most of it was either stuff from the employee manual or obvious facts like, "Cinemark makes most of its money from concessions". If you need to be told how movie theatres generate revenue in the United States, there are more appropriate articles for that info, and if I wanted to read the Cinemark Employee's Handbook...well, I don't want to do that. --Cog05 21:13, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Contradictions
Check out the Carmike wikipage. This page also claims that they are the third largest film company in the U.S. This informaton should be corrected or removed -68.82.217.112 05:47, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
Carmike hasn't been third for a long time. The Carmike information is incorrect.
[edit] Employee/customer relations
I have added in the employee/customer info for valid reasons:
1) Someone interested in employment with the company may research it before applying. The handbook is only availible to employees after they have signed a contract, yet the handbook also outlines job expectations and behavioral restrictions the employee may not agree with or consent to.
2) Many people ask opinions when going to the movies. They will probably want to know that what they're told may not necessarily be true, as the employee handbook encourages giving false opinions on films.209.169.73.213 04:46, 9 January 2007 (UTC) - no it doesn't; it simply states to say that many of our guests have enjoyed it, which is true of any film! Many guests will enjoy it, many won't. Offering a personal opinion doesn't mean the guest will like the movie, and may resent your opinion if they don't like it.
- I'm an employee at a cinemark in my city. We're somewhat encouraged to tell the customer what we think, but to add something of a disclaimer such as "but that is just me" or we just tell the customer what it is about and avoid an opinion all together. The latter is the most commonly used, most employees never see movies just because of the fact that we work there or we're always working or so on. We also have never signed a contract and there was always an orientation of sorts on the theater. Also, there's no restriction on asking about the employee handbook before signing any papers. You may ask about it at anytime, just most people don't. I'm not a manager, i am an employee at cinemark.
[edit] Avoid bias. Articles should be written from a neutral point of view, representing views fairly, proportionately and without bias.
Per the bias policy this section should be re-written from a neutral point of view.
After reviewing wiki entries for other theater chains this entry is inconsistent in subject matter and tone. .User:indymon 19:51, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
- I almost deleted the offending material myself; but for now, rather than removing it outright, I multitagged it as biased original research since I didn't add the material myself and to avoid an edit war. If desired, the non-complant material can be removed... Ranma9617 05:09, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
How can it be original research if it's cited?209.169.73.213 05:04, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Section on Cinemark's mascots
I don't think that article belongs there. While it does describe them, it also describes two policy trailers in detail and I don't know wether it should belong in the article or not. 82.39.91.92 (talk) 17:43, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
