In Hastings, we use Movie Licensing USA and MPLC because there is very little overlap in the studios they cover and we show movies every Thursday from studios covered by one license or the other.  It really depends what movies you plan to show and what studios made them originally.

We also occasionally purchase public performance rights to a DVD we want to show when it is from a studio not covered by either license.

Hi again.

Who do you use for your movie licensing? 

We've always had one company, but at renewal time I guess I want to know if that is the best deal out there.

Thanks so much!
