1 3:205:207:209:20 UfOKOMWV ftAWMMCIviui I 4 A GAGGLE OF MOVIES ARE GETTING RE-RELEASED UNDER NEW NAMES, WITH NEW ADVERTISING CAMPAIGNS Charles Bronson in 'Killer of Killers'; Marlon Brando's 'Barn' to Be Renamed 'The Mercenary' By BARBARA THOMAS Journal Amustnwnti Editor Moviegoers who fail to see that smaller print on the marquee and are stricken with the feeling that they've seen that movie before are probably right At least one film company, United Artists, is going in for renaming and releasing a gaggle of films in a big way, most of which failed to "reach their full potential," according to UA special projects director Richard Moses. Therefore, ticketbuyers who hustle in to see "Killer of Killers" and recognize it as1 Charles Bronson's "The Mechanic" or "The Mercenary" as Marlon Brando's "Burn," shouldn't think they're being tricked, say studio officials. You can get your money back within the first half hour if you've already seen it under another title. UA officials are quick to say that the retitling and revised marketing campaigns are not designed "just to pull in more money, but to make the films more appetizing to the public. The general idea is that if a film it is retitled it was a failure, but many just didn't reach their potential audience." Moses, who was brought in to UA to head the program of special handling for smaller films and in devising new campaign for old films, has some interesting ideas on what makes a film popular.

"I believe the public no longer discovers movies, and if there isn't an overwhelming desire by the people to be part of an event, people just don't go. It's tougher for a movie that isn't a media-, created event to find an audience no matter how good it is. "Showmanship is knowing what the public hungers for even if they don't know themselves. It used to be that the hero got the girl; now everyone gets the girl, only the tihero gets her first." New marketing techniques at UA puts the emphasis on motivation, behavior and. socio-economic patterns, or selling the feeling and emotion of the film rather than telling the story.

Atlanta audiences who went to see "Going Ape" at theaters here last week recognized it as the George Segal-Ruth Gordon film formerly called MCE BFCXE! TXEKAIWITim C8LCCX CSX aadUVEILnBlE DIE 2:50 7:20 GUN 5:00 9:30 named include "Juggernaut," with Richard Harris and Omar Sharif, (to be called "Terror on the as well as "Paper Lion," "Poppy," "Across 110th Street," "Electra Glide in Blue," (to be retitled "Big "The Visitors," "The Hunting Party," and "Jeremy." 3 "Where's Poppa." Smaller letters in parenthesis on the theater marquee identified it as such. The original title made sense until the film's ending was changed as being too risque. Since various shenanigans involving gorillas were woven through the film, UA played off it's basic irreverence and retitled it "Going Ape." The infamous "Last Tango In Paris" is likely to be re-released, under the same title but with a different ad cam back. "That was exploitation, just to call attention to the Supreme Court ruling," said an United Artists spokesman. An old Burt Reynolds' film, "White Lightning," is being re-issued, "playing off Reynolds' increased popularity.

Film company officials expect to play 87 per cent of the initial go-round, especially in the smaller communities. As an example of the research that goes into movie marketing campaigns, consider the four different approaches used on Mike Nichols' "Day of the Dolphin," on Si "Pelham 1-2-3" is another of the UA products to revision, again because of confusion over the title. It will reappear as "The Mastermind," playing off the plot rather than the subway location. UA thinks "Burn" will be a difficult one to resell since it is the whole history of British imperialism told in terms of human relationships. "It's an intellectual picture that makes the audience think, so it will have a small, selective audience.

The original title conveyed little and since a mercenary is what he is, that seemed an obvious choice. We hope possibly that Brando's new-found adulation will draw people in and broaden the audience," said the spokesman. Other films in the process of being re-released or re paign. UA officials feel that sexual m6res have changed to which Moses worked for Avco the point that "Tango" can no Embassy. Ad campaigns first be played fas a billed the film as a so it will be billed director combination, then nav as a "bizarre love story." Although officials say "The Mechanic" was 1 popular enough in original release, the title confused too many people who presumed Bronson to be an amorphous garage worker instead of a hired killer.

A new ad campaign was devised for the film "Carnal Knowledge" after the Supreme Court decision overturned the Georgia ban calling it obscene.

None were too successful until researchers noticed the film went well in four cities, none of which had anything obvious in common. After studying 60 different variables, Moses came up with the common denomina-tor-an abundance of teenage girls. Under the rationalization that this was the audience for the film and that the young girls empathized with George C. Scott as a father figure, this final campaign caught on. r.WlMM AY IV cm IM itnuu BY HUT HER BENCHLEYandCABL GOHLIEB PEIER BtM -JOHULIAMS "DREMOUT" iSLnu nitnriiiu u.

WWII IMUkl.ll Mn HOLLYWOOD -The forest in all its seasonal beauty, with. narrow trails, gurgling streams and tangled thickets, the magnificent setting of Walt Disney's enchanting animated feature "Bambi," which is being re-released for a new generation of moviegoers. As created by Disney's most prolific artists for the film which was first seen in 1942, the setting is as real as all the forests on the North American continent, the result of three years of planning, of field trips embracing wood- lands from Maine to California, and research that in cluded every detail, even to the smallest leaf. Much of the atmosphere In this movie, widely acclaimed as Disney's most visually beautiful and real, came from a five-month trip through the Maine woods by Maine-born artist, Maurice Day and a woodsman companion.

While Day was studying and photographing the forests of. Maine, similar, though less extensive, field trips were being conducted in the Western states. Important areas which provided inspiration for Disney artists were the Sequoia, Big Bear and Chico regions of California. 8 1 9Y nr PETER SELLERS CHRISTOPHER PLUr.1P.1ER CATHERINE SCHELL HERBERT LOr.1 -BLAKE EDWARDS' FRAMED rVAMEfttCAN INTERNATIONAL Release Perry ring Royal Dano I ,2:504:35 A TUfany Colling David Dukes a If CobbylW IV i i ii i fi ti 'Mnui Chnunnn 4 9:15 i.aa o.nn p. 1 "REPORT TO THE COMMISSIONER' at Drive-ins! 1 I 1 1 1 I 1 FT 3 111 mm mx 1:2 had uzinzst tcjui 1 1 9:45 The swallows fromCopistrono retumcdl GcaMacArthur retumcdl The Fifties ictumccN The Sixties will return!
