Phil clapp, chief executive of the Cinema Exhibitors' Assn., said, "We are aware that discussions are underway between the major circuits and Disney over the booking of 'Alice,'. As ever, this is a commercial consideration for each company and they will each make a decision based on the outcome of those discussions."
