"No more students attending Grant High School will be hired at our Regal Cinema inside Lloyd Mall any longer," said Tony Redmund in a news conference saturday, of a piracy violation involving several grant students. The board has confirmed dismissal of all students currently working at the location, with a 3 month advance notice of termination.
According to the assistant manager of the movie theatre, Patty Margolis, several employees at the theater who all attend Grant High School conspired together to illegally record "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" during it's premiere showing, Wed. July 11.
Two Grant ticketcollectors stood at the gate ripping tickets, immedietely giving a signal to an employee working at concessions when they had seen the manager passing through. Patrik Martin, going into his senior year at Grant, is reported to have been responsible for taping the event on his Sony Handycam DCR-HC36.
"There are a lot of big fans of Harry Potter at our school, so I was going to record it and burn it for the Harry Potter club to watch in the summer before the movie came out on DVD," says Martin, an avid fan of Harry Potter himself.
But there are serious implications for illegally filming copyrighted content in movie theaters. Because one of the students involved told investigators that the team have been involved in taping a few other movies, including Spiderman 3, Ratatouille and Transformers, the board at Regal Cinema have decided that its 17 year streak of hiring Grant students is at its end.
The crew of teenagers must now return to their ordinary jobs waiting tables and pushing carts. Many students have even applied for jobs at the outside Regal Cinema, with little success.
"The worst part is I didn't even get to finish taping it," says Martin.
