Start with how the business operates
Movie theater insurance should connect public occupancy, seating and aisles, food and alcohol service, projection and sound equipment, property values, employees, cyber systems, special events, and the revenue impact of a closure.
Industry risks to discuss
- Patron injury, crowd movement, accessibility, and premises liability
- Fire, water, severe weather, projection or sound equipment damage, and interrupted revenue
- Concessions, alcohol service, employees, payment systems, cyber events, and crime
Coverage priorities
- General liability, liquor liability where applicable, and umbrella or excess
- Commercial property, equipment breakdown, business income, and extra expense
- Workers' compensation, employment practices, cyber, crime, and commercial auto where needed
Prepare a Complete Industry Submission
- Describe every service, product, location, and source of revenue
- Use current property, payroll, sales, fleet, equipment, and inventory schedules
- Explain losses, material changes, and completed corrective action
- Identify contracts, customers, landlords, lenders, or regulators that influence coverage decisions
